I have always had a hate relationship with my body. I was the stick thin kid that had no shape growing up and had the awesome nickname of 'chicken legs'. I was a whopping 104 lbs when I got married and soon pregnant with my first child.

I have always had a hate relationship with my body. I was the stick thin kid that had no shape growing up and had the awesome nickname of 'chicken legs'. I was a whopping 104 lbs when I got married and soon pregnant with my first child.

I had a hard time getting babies here and had to do months of bed rest while pregnant. I didn't gain much weight with baby number one and my son was only 5 lbs 4 oz at birth. For baby number 2 I REALLY wanted a fat baby so I gained an extra 25 lbs of weight in hopes of a big baby girl. She was only 1 oz heavier than my son. So much for that. I held the weight for the next 2 years while taking care of two kids within two years of age. I then got pregnant with my third child but lost it at 17 weeks.

I cannot explain how loosing that baby made me hate myself and my body. What a crappy body I had...not only was it unsightly but it could not sustain my child’s life. I got pretty depressed and gained another 4-5 lbs.

After several years I decided I didn't want to be unhealthy and was going to try to get back in shape. I purchased Turbo Jam and started my journey. I lost 10 lbs quickly and felt good BUT I came down with pleurisy that lasted 9 months. During this time I could hardly breathe without extreme pain and my exercise stopped. I gained all my weight back in the next few years.

I was sitting at 130 lbs and on my tiny bones it looked terrible. I also hated feeling out of shape when running and playing with my kids. One night I saw TurboFire on TV and had to try it. It was the new push I needed to get started back into a healthy and positive lifestyle.

So far I have lost 13 lbs. I feel awesome. I can power through the Fire 60 workout like a pro! :) I feel so much better about my body. It CAN do what I want it to do if I try hard enough. I can do it.

Now to continue my healthy new lifestyle and power through those last few pounds. :) Wish me luck!
