About Me

One year ago I embarked on a journey to lose weight. I had no idea where it would lead, at that point I was sick and tired of feeling "ugly". I disliked how I looked in clothes, I didn't feel attractive and I couldn't even keep up with my little boy. I've struggled with being chubby for most of my adult life. I turned to food as a comfort after my dad died when I was 17. It became a coping mechanism for me. Throughout the years, I tried (and failed) many different ways to lose weight.

It was in August, 2013 that I began a journey of health and fitness that I had no idea would lead me into becoming a Beachbody coach. I signed up for a challenge group to help lose weight and learn healthy habits. I ate alright, but needed help in being held accountable to exercising. Exercise was something that I did very sporadically, probably because I hadn't found something that I loved to do. I had been watching my friend Lara, go through her AMAZING transformation. I messaged her and told her I'd be interested in a challenge group. After some chatting back and forth with her I decided to give Turbofire and Shakeology a try. Well wouldn't you know that I FELL IN LOVE with Turbofire! I FINALLY found something that didn't feel like I was exercising. 

With Turbofire, I lost a total of 36lbs and 19.5 inches in 90 days! I began to notice other things changing too besides my body. I was slowly gaining more confidence in myself, I was becoming a better mom and wife. I was finding me again. I decided in October of 2013 to become a Team Beachbody Coach. I wanted to pay it forward. To help others the way I was helped. I have lost a total of 52 lbs since last August! BUT I have gained so much more! 

Health and fitness have become very important to me. I love that I get to be an example to my 4 year old son. That I get to teach him how to make healthy choices and I pray he won't have the same struggle I had/have with food. Also, I'm passionate about helping others achieve their goals. It's very rewarding to help others reach their goals. I love sharing in their victories! If I just help one person, then I've done what I set out to do.  Please message me if you are ready to make a change!!
