I am a true Ambassador of the challenge.

I have been living my life 90 days at a time for the past 3 years and I have fallen in love with what it has done for my family and me. I want to share my story because I want people to know that, no matter the size of their goal, the impact of you simply deciding to start is invaluable. Acheiving these goals has given me the courage to share my story with many people who need the inspiration to believe that they, too, can take that first step into improving their health!

Overall, I have lost 45lbs, and have lost a total of 29 inches to bring me from a size 13 to a size 3. The best part of all of this has been accomplishing things I never thought I would do. Challenges like making it a priority to eat 5 times a day consistently, starting my first running plan called “couch to 5K”, running 5K, 10K and a 1/2 marathon, doing a push up challenge from my toes (now that was really hard!) and finally developping a "Ninja Turtle" six pack. My favorite challenge of all was our family challenge, inspiring 5 people in my immediate family to work together and overall we have lost 220lbs, including having 2 of them decide on their own to quit smoking; I am so proud of all of you!

The support from my friends and family has been the biggest asset to my success. It has made these challenges not only achievable but also fun every single day. I want to finish by saying believe in yourself, believe that you can accomplish your goal and make it your number one priority because your life and your health, and the lives of those around you, ARE depending on it.
