I am a mother of four (ranging in age from 8 to 27) and a grandmother of two wonderful boys. I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana then joined the Army at 18. I retired from the Army after 20 years and began teaching at a small Christian school in Waukegan, IL.

I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana then joined the Army at 18. I retired from the Army after 20 years and began teaching at a small Christian school in Waukegan, IL. After about a year, I decided I needed something a little different and took a position at a global, broad-based health care company in a position that allows me to utilize all of my skills, education and training in a post-market compliance position. I have struggled with weight issues almost all my life. I find that I have to work out much harder to just maintain the weight that I am at. I find it very difficult to loose weight. That is one of the main reasons I turned to Beach Body. I was 33 at the birth of my last child and had gained way too much weight; I turned to Slim in Six for help. I lost about 20 pounds but couldn't quite get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and size. Six years later, no longer in the Army, and nearing 40, I decided I needed to get very serious about my physical appearance. So here I am again. I would like to drop that last troublesome 10 to 15 pounds and be in the best shape of my life on my 40th birthday!

With the birth of my youngest daughter I went from 135 to 185 pounds. I was in the Army at the time and had limited time to get back into shape. I wasn't loosing weight and shaping back up like I wanted to (and needed to) with my Army Physical Training. I was watching a Slim in 6 infomertial and decided to give it a try. In two weeks time my husband said "Wow. You are looking great." I almost cried. Because I always tend to be very hard on myself and view my body negatively, his comment made a huge difference. I continued pushing play and got down to around 145. After getting out of the Army, I found my weight started to slowing increase. I was working out, but not real focused or dedicated to my routine. At 154 pounds and quickly approaching age 40, I decided to get serious again. I have in my video collection, Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, Power 90 and now Slim Series Express. Due to my limited time for working out and because in the past I saw my greatest results with Slim in 6, I decided to use a combination of Slim in 6, Slim Series Express and Turbo Jam. I do my workouts before work every morning, so I love that fact that the Slim Express videos are around 30 mins long. As the weather gets warmer, I like to run in the evenings as well. My biggest conflicts are time and food. I like sweets and love pizza! I've stopped drinking coffee (sorry Starbucks) and I'm trying to eat healthier. My goal is to weigh somewhere between 135 and 140, be comfortable in my body, and be in the best shape of my life on my 40th birthday and...I would love to get to the point that I could do Power 90X!
