It feels like from the minute I was born I was in for a battle of a lifetime...with my body! I was a heavy child...teenager and become morbidly obese at the age of 25. At 30 I was told my heart may give up on me as early as 40 years young. Super motivated to live...I fought to get healthy with every tool that could help. I knew diet would be first...so with a drastic cut in portion and calories...that was step one. Then cutting the simple sugars and empty calories came next. Then, healthy enough to get exercising again...I started pin classes...kickboxing and strength training. I realized lifting weights kept my metabolism solid and I was eventually able to eat and keep the weight off. My bodyfat is the lowest its ever been recorded and I have the tightest core to support my intense workouts and well....life in general. Its been a seven year journey and I'm heading to the next level. Anything is possible...and this I know personally.

My favorite thing is discovering what my body is capable of doing after being released from the fat prison suit. The muscle definition becomes a reward and guess what....you can eat again! Yes...its a clean fairly boring eating regiman but no starving fat girl here! Working hard never tasted so good!
