I have struggled with fluctuating weight for the past 15 years. I have started and stopped a multitude of workouts. I even lost a lot of weight several times and felt great about myself. What I didn't realize was that each time I lost weight, I was actually sabotaging myself. Not knowing enough about fitness nutrition at the time I was actually losing lean muscle mass and slowing down my metabolism. I ordered Power 90 8 years ago. I worked out religiously! I was 8 weeks in and seeing NO results so I gave up. I guess I just got discouraged and gave up. I continued to gain weight and be depressed about it. I just didn't have the energy to do anything about it.

Years later I found out that I am allergic to gluten and have been suffering many side effects from the allergy. Once I was off gluten I lost weight just from the effects of letting my body a heal a bit. I was teaching Ballet and selling my artwork and slimming down and very confident. Then my husband was injured in a car accident and I had to go back to work full time. I work in the Hospitality industry and work very hard. I am the Director of Banquet Services in a historic building that has 8 floors. I run stairs all day long but still do not slim down due to how stressful the job is. I struggle with finding time to eat and not getting poisoned by foods that contain gluten. I am tired and worn out all of the time. And I am DONE!

Now that I know it was an illness that caused me to not get results, and having educated myself on fitness nutrition, I am ready to change. I would absolutely love to get up in the morning with energy and put on clothes without worrying how fat the outfit is going to make me look. I want to not cringe when I see pictures of myself. And I want to go to the beach and enjoy it instead of feeling self-conscious.

My goal is to transform my body and my life. I want to succeed and help others do the same. Today was the first step and I look forward to this journey!
