In February of 2019 our company began it's biggest loser weight loss contest. Over the past 3 years I was only getting bigger and bigger. My weight was at an all time high. Being a full time employee and mother of two I found it very hard to make better decisions for myself. This contest started to help keep me be accountable for my actions. I started walking during lunch and eating better. The next thing I knew when I went to weigh in at the end of April I was down over 20 lbs and placed in the top 10% in the contest!

Shortly after this summer was here and it was a lot easier for me to maintain weight. I could enjoy the outdoors and eat grilled healthy foods. I dreaded winter. But, in October of 2019 our company opened it's fitness center. I had only been in a gym once in my entire life but I gave it a try. I am very proud to say that I average 5 days a week in the gym and I have successfully maintained my weight from April! (Even through the Holidays!) Our company recently started a new contest and I am excited to see what healthy eating and exercise can do for me. The energy levels I have now are nothing like I have ever seen.

I am proud to be almost 40 and honestly in the best shape of my life!
