I have two wonderful daughters, who are very supportive of my efforts. I am a preschool teacher. I grew up in the Northwest, in Portland, OR and now live in E. Washington, in a smaller town. I miss the ocean very much and spend time there every summer. I have always wanted to surf but have never been in shape enough, or wanted to see myself in a wetsuit. I would like to make this the year I surf. I have horses and other animals to keep busy at home, and am the leader of a 4H group. My girls and I love the outdoors and everything that it has to offer. I have struggled all my life with weight issues, but have always tried to keep active. I have started Power90 before, but let other things get in my way of success. I decided to join the support system this time in hopes of success! This has taken me so far out of my comfort zone, and has forced me to dive deep into why I never succeed. I can't believe I actually posted my measurements for all to see, and I didn't even lie about them! I had a hard time sending my picture in, but jumped that hurdle too. Every morning when I work out in WOWY I am amazed at what a difference it makes to know that others are there with me, sweating away and holding me accountable! Thank You, you have changed my life!

Who would have thought that a I would not only be getting a total body transformation, but a mind and soul transformation also when I signed up?! To keep myself on track, I decided to sign up for the community and coaching, rather than do this all on my own. This is something that is way out of the box for me, being someone who is more private, especially when it comes to my weight. My second week into power 90, my whole world turned upside down. I now faced the prospect of being a single parent of two young girls. The shock, stress and emotional turmoil is incredibly intense. The old me would have thrown in the towel and tried power90 again some other time. But I wouldn't just be letting myself down this time, I had all those buddies working out with me and my coach waiting for my call. So, I kept pushing play,lost 20 pounds so far, & 5" inches off my hips and chest and 6"off my waist!!:) Yeah!! A ray of sunshine! Not only that, but I have felt empowered to face the struggles that are ahead of me and the exercise helps me deal with all of my stress. I can actually sleep at night! I have learned so much about myself; when I eat, why I eat and WOW, what an emotional eater I am. I am learning ways to deal with the emotional eating, and making better food choices from Michi's ladder when I reach for the food rather than the junk. I realize from reading Tony's words of wisdom, that it took a while to get this heavy and it will take a little longer to get it off, but my body will see that I am not messing around this time and change. By setting smaller, realistic goals I keep from getting frustrated and feel successful with where I am now and the progress that I have made. I am starting to feel good about myself, something I haven't felt in 18 years. I feel stronger and have way more energy to have some fun with my girls. 20 pounds and more to come! THANK YOU SO MUCH TONY AND BEACH BODY!!!:)
