Hey there...I am a mom of three kids and want to live a healthier life for myself and them. They are ages 11, 8, and 4 and keep me oh so busy! Between school, soccer, B-ball, cheer and friends..but I love it. I am 29 years old and decided to get a grip on things before "I" felt there was no turning back.I had my last child and was able to fit into my clothes within 3 weeks. (which was a 15) I went back to work for two days and then it went downhill. (my mom's heart attack) I nearly lost my Mom (my best-friend) to a double massive heart attack. They gave her less than 10% chance of survival. She was in a self induced coma for two weeks and finally woke up. I was so thrilled but at the same time scared of what damage was done to her brain and heart. She made it and did and still does have health issues concerns, etc. Three months later we almost lost her again. The Dr.'s did not give her a pacemaker to begin with since they assumed she would not make it. Family decision was for me to stay home and help with her and her animals. (she has a small farm so there are alot of animals) It was about a two year blur for her and honestly the rest of us. I got depressed between worrying about my Mom (scared that I would find her passed away in her bed) losing my social life, my job, money and the daily struggles to help keep our family off the streets. Raising three kids at the time. I'd say I went from a 15/16 to a 22 in very few months. Even more shortly after that I soared pretty far up there in pants sizes..I was squeezing into a 26 needing a 28 but I refused. I had this magic number in my head that when I reached 250 that that would be it. I thought that was when I was going to take charge and do something. I stopped looking at the scale and continued to gain weight and was atleast 280's. I then woke up and saw BB's YBB infomercial and told myself it was a sign. I ordered it and have been happy ever since. I cannot beleive the "high" that I get from my workouts. I have since then added to my MDB collection and want more...teehee who would not??? I want them all. :) I have become a happy, healthier, more vibrant individual. I want to coach my girl's cheer team w/o feeling ashamed of myself. I am well on my way and have learned so much about myself through this up and down roller coaster. I will never ever forget where I was and who I was at 250+. I will spread the word of a healthier lifestyle more than I already do. I have so many friends that are telling others "she has lost alot of weight-I dont know how she did it" and that is my cue everytime to tell them again...all about what products that MDB has to offer. I once was literally addicted to hot cheetos. I am now addicted to everything that BB has showed me and taught me so far. I am addicted to working out and the support boards that are here. I have already made some great friends here. I forgot to mention something..I have a heel spur and a few other foot issues. I have even through all my pain and tears learned to PP and better myslef. My knees hurt at times and I just have to. I know you can too!!! See you soon!!!!!
UPDATE~!~!UPDATE~!~!UPDATE~!~!
This past July, 2008 I was flown out to Hollywood to share my testimony for my Yoga Booty Ballet success!!!! The infomercial should air sometime this year..I cant wait!! While I was there I was able to meet up with some other girls from the boards here...and some girls that are not from the message boards but girls that also PP to YBB and other BB products. It was a experience that I can never explain to anyone...but will forever be in my heart. When I began YBB I would have never ever thought...hey one day I am going to fly to Hollywood and meet some awesome girls from the message boards and share my success....as well as be in a infomercial! I had someone ask me why I wanted to go and do this...I could not believe that I was even having to explain this.....but I did....why would I not want to share my success with other people that are doing exactly what I did....sitting on their couches watching the YBB infomercial over and over atleast 50 times...trying some of the moves out just to see if you can even do them....the thing with us girls that all went to share out success is this....we all came there from starting off at different sizes, heights and walks of life....there is going to be someone out there doing exactly and feeling exactly the same way we were at that time in our lives...and it can be done...if I who was pushing 300 lbs and barely over 5' can do this....YOU CAN TOO~~~~
If you would ever like to chat with me or email....feel free... ;) I am a very easygoing chatty gal. ;)

Here is a little more insight of my journey...
I was like may of you at a point in my life that I was looking for the easy fix or easy way out...Before starting YBB I was looking into lapband surgery, had already did alot of research. I talked to a Doc already and had found out that the ins would cover it 100%. How teasing is that as well as so appealing..I had even joined a support group...I was so ready to do this for all the wrong reasons. I was to ashamed to workout in front of anyone! I decided against it for a few reasons...I did not want to feel left out when or if I wanted to celebreate one of my kids or parents birthdays or special moments in life. I would not have been able to eat much or have have a drink with my food or even just go out for a girls night. I also did not want to have the slimy stuff that I read about coming back up into my throat as well as having (sorry please dont read if you have a sensitive tummy) throw up basically coming back up...
Then as I said I saw a YBB infomercial and it was as if that was my calling or my turning point....I plan to get a tattoo that symbalizes my journey with YBB..
I am glad that I decided to not have lapband and hope anyone else reading this has chosen not to as well....This way is the right way....
