****after one of the hardest weeks of my life-decided my original transformation story was what needed to be here now- good luck to all!

My journey began March 17,2004- the day I entered the hospital for a RNY open gastric bypass. At 5' tall and 215 pounds, I was morbidly obese.

I have battled weight loss my entire life- gone on every diet known to man (and then some!) My second chance at life came with the surgery- this was only the beginning- as so many people who have lost a lot of weight know... it is a life changing process.

I started walking right away and going to a gym. I attended my first Turbo Kick class in March 2005 with an awesome instructor, Monica- who then became a fantanstic Turbo Jam Party Host!

By the time Turbo Jam was released in September 2005, I was a full fledged addict and supporter! I still get excited when I hear the music!! (I used to set the alarm to make sure I could see Chalene and the gang working out in the latest informercials!) If wind had not knocked the power out all over the western Carolinas - which it did during Chalene's last VIP chat- I would have been in the VIP room with CG and the gang chatting away with whom I consider to be a true fitness genius and a true lady...

Since March 2005, I have earned gold instructor certification from Turbo Kick. As I travel a lot, I do not teach, but I take my Turbo Jam with me everywhere I go! (Gotta love those security check points and my portable DVD player!)

I have given so many of my gym buddies Beach Body's web site for Turbo Jam so they can order their own program and Turbo at HOME. Being able to tell people about Turbo Jam is still just a great part of my life- Since it was released, I have ordered every set available, and ordered sets for my sister, sisters in laws... the list goes on and on (and these are only the ones I am paying for, I think :-) )

So many people get caught up in the first part of a weight loss program, but it is the lifetime part that must sustain all of us. I Turbo Jam everyday. It is WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE WEIGHT LOSS that matters- head hunger will always be there- for all of us! This is why we ALL need a BEACH BODY plan!!

I wear a size 2 and yet, despite my huge weight loss, I have not had any plastic surgery. (although I would not mind having a few tucks here and there, hint, hint) I owe ALL of this to Turbo Jam- people are constantly asking me if I have lost more weight, because I keep getting more and more toned.

But, what Beach Body has given me- what I consider invaluable, is the support of all of you- from top to bottom- to know my 93 pounds loss is just that.... GONE.

I have so many dear friends through the Turbo Jam Message Boards- I honestly cannot imagine my life without them- especially my Turbo Jam party threaders...thank you for all you have given me.
