It was back in 1999, post child births; when I was about 50lbs overweight. I’m only 5’ 1 and I topped out at 160 lbs. I felt fat, tired and quite honestly, depressed. I did the fad diets, hired personal trainers, took some exercise classes and lost some of the weight, but hit a plateau. I thought I was eating well, but couldn’t figure out how to get my body back to my desired size. My weight bounced all over the scale. I was extremely frustrated and miserable. As I stared at myself in the mirror, I realized that who I was on the inside, didn’t match up with the reflection on outside. It was that very moment, alone and upset, that I knew, I had to take control and be personally responsible for own success. This was my life changing moment and the best decision I ever made for myself. By adding Polar technology into my training program, I found I have a better focus on my time and energy spent on my fitness goals. I use the FT60 as a tool that assist me in measuring, monitoring and adjusting my weekly goals. The goals set are highly specific to me even at my current fitness level. Best of all, I have heighten motivation.I have reduced my body fat from 42% to 12% that earned my way to become an IFPA and NGA Pro Figure Model! It gives me such pleasure as an ISSA Specialist in Sports Nutrition, Personal Trainer, Professional IFPA/NGA Athlete, and model, to teach and mentor women through this process of personal responsibility. I encourage them to focus in on their goals and learn to understand that its a lifestyle; not a destination.

I am one of the millions of frustrated moms. I have been there, done that. I totally understand the path; and the women I coach, connect with me. I have help 100s of ladies regain their self esteem and point them down the right path to a healthier lifestyle.
