Let's see....About me! I started my weight loss journey a little over 3 1/2 years ago. I went to the doctor and for two years straight he told me I had to lose weight. The last year he plainly told me I was going to die, if I did not lose at least 30 lbs. I had high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, ashtma, and anemia. I was spiraling down and I had to do something. In 2004, I weighed 330lbs, was on 6 different medications, and finally decided that enough was enough! I had to change my life to continue to have a life. I started by changing my eating habits. Once, I got that started, it was time to get off the couch and move. I watched FitTV and was hooked after loosing 15 lbs my first month. I joined a gym and the road to my success began. I discovered that group fitness was the key for me. The weight fell off. By Dec. 2005, I had lost 85 lbs. I was approached about teaching aerobics. I would have never dreamed that I would ever teach aerobics. However, I gave it a try! Guess what, I loved it. In Jan. 2006, my gym was offering a certification in BodyPump. A few other people were going to do it, so I did too. It was a huge challege, but so well worth it! I got my BodyPump certification and in Feb. 2006, I got my AFAA group fitness certification! Both are highpoints in my life! By the summer of 2006, I had lost 101 lbs, by diet and exercise, and was taken off 5 of the 6 medications. I took a year off (had a beautiful baby girl to go along with my handsome son and wonderful husband). Now I back and still on my weight loss journey and will not stop until I hit my 5 year goal of 150lbs lost! Watch my smoke! Les Mills will help me get myself and others there!

Be Loud and Heard! Turn it Up!
