About Me

What a journey this has been! I may not look like it now but I used to be super morbidly obese and struggled with my weight my entire life. I always felt like I was the biggest kid in my class and was bullied for my weight.

When I show people this photo, they can't believe that this used to be me, that I used to weigh OVER 320lbs. My therapist thought I had googled the image, even. But looking at the person I am today, I can see why they might think that. Heck, sometimes I don't even recognize myself!

But I did used to be over 320lbs and I was dying.  I had every co-morbidity due to my weight and I was even in a wheelchair. My doctors didn't think I'd live to see thirty. I even had the beginning signs of congestive heart failure. My life was nonexistant and I had to rely on other people to do things for me like go to the bathroom, get me out of bed, etc. While some people dream of cars or money, I dreampt that one day I would walk again, to feel my legs underneath me and be in control of my own body. And I did - I proved those doctors wrong!!

I lost close to 200lbs and Beachbody has recognized me for my incredible Transformation and I won the Quarterly Prize of $5,000 and a trip to LA - PLUS the Monthly Prize of $1,000 on top of that. I am in the running for the $100,000 grand prize (will find out in April if I am a grand prize finalist).

Thanks to losing the weight, I am not held down by my health conditions or my body - I am free to live my life and experience the things I never thought possible. I am truly living free now and am thankful everyday that I am alive. After all, I lived PAST age 30, unlike my doctor's predictions and my journey is not done yet! 

I wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for my Coach and the Challenge Groups I completed.

I also have discovered my TRUE passion - helping others achieve their weight loss and fitness dreams.
