Coach Donna Lewis

I am a 48-year-old mother of five (grandmother of two, almost three). A SAHM with two disabled preteen boys and a very hard-working husband. After struggling with weight my whole life (literally), and trying every single "diet" and weight loss program out there, I started a plant-based diet at the end of 2011 and started to feel great eventually lost 50#. It has taken a while for this addictions counselor to overcome her own food addictions, but I have been on the right track for some time now. I am a Beach Body Coach and my goal is to help people overcome food addictions, heal their body, and find their way back to healthy living!

I have struggled with fibromyalgia, pre-diabetes, and hypothyroidism for about 12 years now. However, after changing my diet and losing a lot of weight, my health and fitness levels have improved by about 1000%! I ran my first 5K in October 2012! I still have a little way to go, but I have come so far! I rarely have problems with fibromyalgia any longer. My doctor took away my diagnosis of pre-diabetes, and I hope to soon work on weaning myself off thyroid meds! My goals are to take LESS pills as I get older, not more! :)

After I started using Shakeology regularly, I was able to push past a weight loss plateau and begin to lose the rest of the weight I want to lose! I lost 8.5# my first week! I am currently in the middle of a full 12 week P90X cycle and am amazed at the results. In the first 3 weeks, I lost 9.5"! I like to sew, do beadwork, and garden...and try to keep up with two active preteens, and my grandbabies.
