I am a Former Couch Potato once topping the scale over 350 pounds, I ate myself into men's size 5x T-shirts, had no desire to exercise, and no portion control whatsoever. and wait, there's more! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, acid reflux. I not so lovingly named this period of my life "The Heavy Distraction".

Here's the Rub.. after all the warning signs, this chick kept right on eating....Now, don't sit there and tell me you can't relate. Been there, right? Let's move on...

Whelp, I continued with the eating. I repeatedly gain and lost weight over the years; I experimented with various weight loss programs and within 6 months to a year of starting my diet, I would revert back to my bad eating habits and gain the weight back plus more.

There you have it... I was a highly successful "professional" yo-yo dieter, but unsuccessful in maintaining the loss long-term.

Everyone's journey is different - only you know when enough is enough. And I had had enough.

The Turning Point: I know you think the turning point would have been all that medicine I was required to take to live a functional life. Well No, like I said I kept right on eating -my eating habits stayed the same.

It took a few life altering things to happen to get me motivated. (Okay, maybe more than a things...)

1) Taking a business to Dallas and finding:

a. The airplane seat-belt wouldn't fit around me (I cried).

b. I didn't explore the city with my husband or tour the new Dallas stadium because I was limited in how far I could walk before losing all energy.

2) Easily winded walking up a flight of stairs a huge problem for a realtor (no pun intended)

3) Wasted paying membership dues to a gym I hadn't stepped in in two years, and Last but certainly not least, let's not forget all the medicine I was taking.

Fast forward to July 2013...I recounted every failed weight loss attempt to see where I went wrong in maintaining the loss long-term. So, I buckled down and did a lot of research and dug up everything I could find on; nutrition, sugar, carbs, fats, portion control. After a lot of trial and error. I created a meal plan that fit my lifestyle. My first major milestone was losing 20 pounds in 30 days!! I started using that gym membership and so far I have lost a total of 180 pounds. STAY TUNED..
