My Story: Then and Now
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
