| It is possible to lose weight without surgery or diet pills (I am proof!), but it does involve a lot of changes and hard work! Living a great life is about making the best choices possible for me and my family. We all want to look great... but one day when we are really old, what will matter is our health and the world we have CHOSEN to create for ourselves and those we love. Life is full of detours that you aren't expecting, but being healthy makes it easier! I've heard that pictures are worth more than 1000 words ... here are a few of mine. |








| How many hours have I spent in the gym? Way too many to count since October 2006... And so I have to give my personal thanks to ToneUp Raleigh for providing an amazing atmosphere where I have lost an amazing amount of weight. They also happily provided their gym for the People Magazine photo shoot. While I did the work myself, it's great to know that there are terrific gyms out there where women can be themselves and work towards their healthy lifestyle goals in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Check out their website at www.toneupraleigh.com. Thanks ToneUp! |
