My weight loss journey began in April 2010 when I was at my heaviest weighing-in at an alarming 261 lbs. For a person who's 5'8 this meant my Body Mass Index (BMI) was 39.7 categorizing me as obese, only a few pounds shy of falling into the morbidly obese category. Unhappy with myself, I knew I had to make a drastic change in my lifestyle and eating habits otherwise I'd be heading down the fastline to handful of chronic health conditions as well as a poorer quality of life. Following a high micronutrient diet as well as dedicated exercise plan I was able to lose 92 lbs (and still going!) in 9 months. This experience truly has changed my life and with each pound lost has freed me from the overweight, insecure, unhappy, and out-of-shape person I used to be. Currently, I am studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer through The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and I hope to inspire anyone that is either struggling with their weight and/or just simply aiming to live an overall healthier lifestyle!
