I am originally from the mid-west. I played sports and was active, but when I hit puberty, I gained weight – 40+ pounds! Ever since then I have struggled with maintaining a consistent weight. I did lose that weight I gained in puberty, but ever since then my weight has fluctuated over the years. In my family we shared evening meals on a regular basis, but I can honestly say they weren’t always I am originally from the mid-west.

Over the years I would inconsistently go to the gym. The issue for me was I needed a routine that I enjoyed and could stick with. I encountered a Turbo Jam infomercial in March 2008 and decided to purchase the program. I haven't looked back! I ordered the ChaLEAN Extreme as the day it was available! LOVE these workouts too!! I've purchased all of the deluxe videos for CE and am excited about beginning the next ROUND! I also have the P90X videos that I work into my CE rountine.
I am enjoying staying fit and am looking forward to taking myself to the NEXT LEVEL of fitness. I WILL get there - it'll just take time.

A couple of years ago I made a life changing decision to move to a city and state that I didn't have any connection to other than employment. I was away from my family and friends. The transition was more difficult than I told myself it would be. I drowned myself in foods for comfort - only to leaving home to go to work or the store. This of course led to weight gain - 18 pounds in 6 months!!! I was miserable and knew I had to do something, my clothes were tight and I felt uncomfortable in them (not to mention I didn’t like the way I looked in the mirror). One day while wallowing in self pity I saw a Turbo Jam infomercial and a light bulb went on!! That's what I need – it looked fun, easy to follow and was structured. I placed the order immediately. After receiving the videos and beginning the workouts I initially wondered what I was thinking! This was harder than it looked. I told myself I HAD to do it. I NEEDED to do something about the weight that was creeping up. I continued to “PUSH PLAY” and over time came to look forward to my workouts. I enjoy the Turbo Jam so much that earlier this year I took the instructor’s course and now am Turbo Kick certified! Now I can share my enthusiasm with others and help them become healthier individuals and have FUN at the same time!
I began by setting short-term goals for myself - to lose a few pounds at a time. As I started to see results I became more and more driven to accomplish what I set out to do. I started feeling more energetic, I was sleeping better, friendlier, HAPPIER! I have lost 23 pounds (MORE than I gained!) and a total of 22 inches!!! I feel great - alive! Those who are around me have seen not only the physical change, but an overall outlook in life change. I have become more approachable because I am more confidant. I attribute this to taking better care of myself on the inside as well as the outside by eating healthier and making better food choices.
In January 2009 I began the ChaLEAN Extreme and to take myself to the next fitness level. I LOVE the changes in my body. My new goal is to continue to improve my fitness level and push towards having 6-pack abs (and they are peeking through) and a more defined upper back.
