As someone who has been overweight, 300 lbs at my highest, I have been in the position of not wanting to step foot in a gym. As far back as I can remember, I have always been made fun of or teased about my weight. This is the picture that was my wake up call. It was taken at a wedding where I thought I looked great. Then when the picture was sent to me, I cried. It took me 2 years to take off the weight and I have maintained it now for 4 years. I have had my ups and downs.
Once I lost 110 lbs on my own, I joined a gym, hired a trainer and lost another 35 lbs. I became committed to helping anyone who was willing to listen. I enjoy learning more everyday about exercise, nutrition and myself. My journey is only beginning.
Along the way I became a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach and Sports Injury Specialist through NESTA. I am currently studying to get my Associates in Science in Physical Education. I hope to continue on and get my Bachelor’s in Kinesiology.
