Hi Cookie!

Well, thank you for your kind words.

It's a lengthy story - you can read LOTS of the details on my home page at my website.

Short version? All my life I was "struggling" with weight, though active and for umpteen years a fitness instructor! One day as I hit my early-mid forties, after ANOTHER brutal workout session and being hungry from watching the eats - I was hit hard with 2 things:

1) I was working harder, eating less, and slowly gaining anyway - where was THIS going to be in 10 years?

2) I KNEW there must be a better way.

This started my on my "outside the box" quest to find my fitness dream - enjoy what I eat, stay active, and live the life that I love. And THAT is what I coach others in now, too - and why I LOVE to specialize in BBW, because we've got the wisdom, experience, and moxie to DO something different!

I wanted to be trim and healthy, but not go the "buff big muscle" route (who has the time and besides, the look isn't my cherished dream - I'm a dancer at heart!)...

So, for starters, there you go!

Thanks for asking my friend!
