Hi!! My name is Shelly. With the support of my family, I have decided to take control of my life and become a healthier person.

I have always struggled with my weight. I have tried virtually every diet and exercise program there is out on the market. In December of 2000, I had gastric bypass surgery. At first this was really successful, but unfortunately I was not involved in any workout programs. I had so much loose skin and hanging fat and because I was not getting enough protein I lost almost all my muscle mass and even starting losing my hair.

I am sure I have the same story of most people; working fulltime, raising a family..it just all seems to sneak up on you and before you know it you are at a heavier weight than you have ever been. I told myself that I would just have to be happy at being overweight. I convinced myself that weighing 220 pounds was not 'all that bad" as long as I was active and somewhat healthy.

I was able to maintain my "healthy" 220 pounds until about a year and a half ago. I suffered a back injury; my spine is collesping and I have bilateral hip bursitis. I had to quit my job and went through hours and hours of physical thearpy. I had spinal injections, which has left me with no feeling on the inside of the right foot and virtually no feeling in my right leg.

With this came pain medications and then more pain medications. Before long, all I was doing was sitting in my chair or lying in bed, feeling depressed and watching my 'healthy' 220 climb and climb!!

I can honestly say that I have never been this heavy, not even while I was pregnant. I can't believe I fooled myself into thinking weighing 220 was every healthy. I felt like my life was just passing me by. I couldn't do anything. I had to give up golfing, bowling, even had to give up shopping unless someone drove me because I wasn't able to lift my right leg into the car.

But all of that is about to change!! After talking with my cousins, who are also Coaches, I have seen how this program has given them back their lives. I am so excited to begin my new life style!! I can't wait to get healthy, and I mean truly healthy this time. I won't fool myself again.

I will keep you all posted as to my progress. We can do this together and be stronger and healthier!!

I'll be talking with you soon!!

My Progress

My fitness goal: Get Healthy

Transformation story

I have been using Slim in 6 and I can't believe the results I am seeing!! I still have a long way to go - but for the first time I really feel like I can stick with this and get healthy and then STAY healthy.

I now believe in myself and I believe in everyone out there that lives with the pain, both physical and emotional, that comes with weight gain. I think that sometimes it only takes a buddy to help keep you on track and I would love to be your buddy!! Please come join me so we can get fit and healthy together.

Please feel free to e-mail me anytime. Together we can, and will be healthy for life!!

Thanks!!
