My journey back to health began one step at a time. I followed the Plan day by day, week by week no matter how hard, I kept going. Month after month I just kept going, with the little voice in my head saying, Yes you can. Do not give up, You deserve better.

My journey continues to be the most amazing adventure and truly the greatest blessing. I have created a Life I never imagined would be mine. A Life where health is a daily choice I love to make. A life where I jump out of bed at 5:00 a.m. because I want to. A Life where I say yes to things I never imagined I would. Having struggled with my weight for over 30 years on May 27, 2015 at 288 Lbs, I was at rock bottom. I was not the role model I needed to be for my girls. I was not the wife I wanted to be to by husband. I was not the person I wanted to be for me.

Through this program and the community and the incredible support, my life began to change. I have completely transformed everything; my body, mind, spirit and soul.

I started my first 60 day challenge and I adapted to this wonderful program by learning the schedules and how to support my body with the proper foods and the best nutrition to achieve optimal health. It has taught me how to make much needed changes to my lifestyle along with so many other positive lifestyle choices. I learned to stick to an eating schedule and to rid my body of harmful toxins. The results and changes were noticeable both physically and mentally. The layers started to peel back like an onion. Things like happiness for no reason, joy and confidence in the smallest things. Sometimes we don’t notice the absence of these feelings, we notice them when the reappear through a different window.

The first noticeable change was my energy and sleep. I was sleeping soundly and waking up completely refreshed with a clear sharp mind ready to start my busy day of running our family owned business, raising our teenage daughters and supporting my husband with his busy work schedule. Proper Sleep was such a Welcome improvement!! The Fog was lifting…

To say I am grateful is just not a big enough expression of how I feel. This Program is life changing, I have immersed myself in the culture and have created friendships through so many selfless people who want nothing more than to see others succeed. The support groups and the tools available made it easy for me to research and educated myself to portion control and plan each day for success. My mental clarity has greatly improved with a new focus and a drive to live life to its fullest. I was so absentminded before starting this program. I was forgetting important conversations and often felt like I was only half there.

With willpower and the determination to succeed, I did not falter. I found the will and discovered the passion in reaching my goals. Reading success stories, seeing others results and being inspired daily by others in our own Support group. Posting quotes, sharing my experiences, sharing recipes, tips, sharing my story and helping coach others. My willpower was and is unstoppable!

I am proud of the outstanding results I have achieved and maintained for over 18 months! I stand taller, walk prouder, and I have succeeded and continue to succeed in all forms of my life. Self confidence comes naturally with success but success only comes to those who are confident and I am confident.

My family is thrilled to have a fun, healthy wife and mother.

I have learned that my new motivation is in helping others and I have found this such a rewarding feeling and I see that in my success, I can help others create theirs too.

I truly love my life and I encourage EVERYONE to join this program and this community of like minded people all on a mission to life each other up and to live with optimum health every day.
