Why I Got Started
I decided to change my body after having my 4th daughter and being overweight and unhappy. I almost reached 200 lbs during the pregnancy and after having the baby, I got down to 180 lbs. I was still overweight and very "fluffy."

For a little while, I settled and didn't really see how overweight I was until I took pictures. I was so disgusted and disappointed with myself. I knew it was time to make a change and not settle for less. Was this the way I was going to let my daughters take on life? Settle for less? NO!!

How I Did It
I had to be a great role model for them so I took action and started the Body for Life plan. I actually learned about the Body for Life challenge watching The Montel show and ordered the book the same day.

I have successfully completed 3 challenges since February 2007 with only taking 1 week breaks in between. My latest challenge was my 3rd challenge and was the most successful. I lost a total of 23 pounds and lost 5 inches off my waist and 4 inches off my hips.

I am happily fitting into a size 6 pair of jeans that I have never been able to wear! I did incorporate some carb cycling for half of my last challenge and my body responded! I am very happy and impressed with the accomplishments I have made so far and now its one of my goals to inspire women and men that I come across. I want them to feel empowered and know they can reach their goals with dedication and consistency!

Suggestions For Others
Journal everything and write down your goals that you WILL get done. Do not use words like "might," "try," "hope." You have to stay positive and keep motivated. Knock out the negative talk and re-program your mind.
