here's a brief story on how I started my life changing transformation.

I was weighing in around 440lbs. Sitting at the edge of diabetes, suffering from hypertension stage 2 blood pressure (around 180/130 blood pressure on the monitor for me), suffering from issues of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (waking up with no air in my lungs/choking to death), and alot breathing issues and heart things. Top all of that off with my doctor telling me " you'll always have high blood pressure, you'll always have some form of heart problem because your family history and you may still eventually get diabetes.. you'll also need to be on blood pressure medication. "

UNACCEPTABLE.

I don't think i've ever been so angry at someone telling me what I can't change and will be stuck with for the rest of my life, i refused to listen to that i'd be stuck like this forever. i'll admit heart problems run in this family. But there is no way i'm not going to try and beat'em. Considering alot of overweight people adopt the "I accept me for me and i don't need to change" i did too at one point, but then i realized, if i didn't change me, i wouldn't be alive long enough to actually enjoy anything in life.

Things needed to change, sometime around last year or so me and my brother adopted a new attitude towards losing weight. He had started Power90, giving it a month trial run before he'd pass it onto me as it honestly looked like it'd kill me at that point. The results were there, i was ready to go! With the resounding thought of "Its this weight or Your Life". I count myself lucky to still be alive after carrying that weight for so long with no way to shed it and i saw something that looked like it'd actually work, so i took it.

I took it and ran. Heaven forbid if you start dieting/life style change, because everyone wants to bring you some sort of food item, seeming like they want to inventionally sabatoge you. But through all the small cheat days and holiday's and platue's i still managed to push and keep 140lbs of weight off.

No longer at risk of diabetes, my blood pressure resting around 135/98ish, energy levels plenty higher, body feeling alot better and looking pretty well toned and muscled considering there is still more work to go.


I'm still losing weight at a steady pace, I am a beachbody Coach. Its got great benefits and I love that I can help people struggling with their own weight loss and I get to help people make a huge difference. Feel free to PM or Email me if you've got any questions or just want to talk, i'm always happy to help.
