No Diet, No Surgery, No Sweat: How I Lost 85 lbs & 4 Pants Sizes
I'm not here to sell you a miracle product, only my story of how I lost weight and continue to keep it off. 

I tried cardio classes. I lost the weight, but not the inches.

I tried diet plans. I lost the weight, but not the inches.

At my heaviest, I weighed 240 lbs, and I hated myself for it. I'm sure you've been there, too – dreaming of all the "what if" scenarios that you've attempted, or meant to attempt, but ultimately fell back into the chair, plate in one hand and fork in the other, thinking, "Tomorrow. I'll start tomorrow."

Well my Tomorrow finally became my Today, and I found the exercise program and meal plan that was right for me. But I don't believe in keeping it secret—which is why I'm sharing my story with honest progression photos.
