I was fat! I got married and put on happy weight, like so many of us do. I started learning about nutrition and over a couple of years got into pretty good shape. My husband and I divorced, and I went through a difficult time. I shot up to about 180 pounds, and battled over the next few years to get to where I am now; happily married, healthy and looking better than ever!

After 10 years in the military I am now a full time student and personal trainer, and owner of JS Fitness Solutions. I offer online training and nutrition coaching, so check out the site if you are in need of some help.

I've been blessed with the genetics it takes to create an amazing body, and I love what working out and eating right does for me. It's just part of who I am now!

I do a mix of CrossFit, Yoga, cardio as needed and traditional bodybuilding to round it all out. I don't believe there is one "right" way to get into shape aside from doing what you enjoy!
