My wake-up call was April 2011. I had survived that crucial first year after brain surgery. I was physically fine, but tired all the time trying to keep up with my active 3 yr old son. Even before I had surgery, I was the resigned to be the "big girl" and at 5'9, was squeezing out of a 16W. I was frustrated; I wore the same 2 pairs of pants all year. I'd been on every diet and my weight would still yo-yo. My active lifestyle was so hard on my body I needed knee surgery on both knees. I ran into an old friend and couldn't believe how amazing she looked! She told me how easy this program was for a busy person. Of course, I was skeptical, but I decided it was time to GET HEALTHY and live. I lost 5.5 lbs in my first week! I had energy and slept better. To date, I have lost 49 lbs in 6 months and wearing a size 8-10. I have had to confront a lot of issues about my self-image and I now have a new perspective on how I see and think about myself.
