Background Story

Welcome! This is the blog that will detail my journey through weight loss. There will be tears, sweat, more tears, and lots of determination. My life has always been a battle with my weight. I have never been a skinny girl but I danced for many years and had a pretty fit body for a while. I have had stretch marks since puberty and after having a baby, I have plenty more to show. About 3 years ago, I got so skinny my friends started to question what I was doing. They were right to do so because I rarely ate and worked out like a maniac. Sure I was fit, but I wasn't happy. After giving birth, I knew I would have to find a healthy way to lose weight and stay healthy. I tried eating healthy foods, a few diets, some crazy weight loss supplements but none worked. I had lost weight before using Advocare but this time around it still didn't work. Somewhere along the way I just accepted that I was big and claimed I had all this confidence to show it off. Still, something was not right. I still wasn't happy. I found myself saying "your the fat girl in the group, just accept it" for the longest time.

I am so fortunate to work with an amazing group of ladies. We support each other and have become good friends. One of my coworkers came to me with Isagenix and suggested I check it out. I decided I would bite because the opportunities sounded great and I was in no position to question feeling healthy. At the time I could not quite afford it so I did a little experiment. I quit soda, caffeine, sweets, and alcohol for two weeks. I also started a crazy detox shake system that was gross and nasty. I got through it and lost 11 pounds. 250 to 239. The biggest drop in weight I had ever seen in such a short time. That's when I realized I have the determination to start this new journey. 

I am currently on Day 4 of the 30 Day Isagenix Cleanse diet. I feel incredible and can't wait to see the 30 Day results. I am also lucky to have my husband doing this with me.His support
means so much to me. We both want to be healthy and feel good because of our daughter, Natalie.

This is just a little bit where I am coming from. If you can relate or just want to read about someone going through this journey, please check back for more posts. I will be sharing my ups and downs and suggestions as I go through the process. My hope is that people can read my story and realize I am just a normal person and if I can do this... you can too!
