Losing Weight & Feeling Great

 

I am all about family and love spending as much time with them as possible. My 2nd passion is bringing awareness to Type II diabetes. It is near and dear to my heart. Since being diagnosed I have lost 100 pounds. 
March 2007 is a special chapter in my life. It was the month my struggle to control my diabetes took on a whole new light. I reached my goal weight set by my doctor and was able to be taken off all artificial means to control my diabetes.
My diabetes is now under control through diet and exercise. With weight loss and exercise, Type II Diabetes can be managed or prevented. My success at controlling my diabetes has led to a newfound dedication and passion for educating others on how to eat right & exercise. It brings me great joy to share my story with others and in doing so inspire them to “get up and get moving!”
I am a diabetes advocate for the American diabetes association. I am a passionate public speaker with experience speaking to youth, at gyms, offices, weight loss challenges, woman's groups, support groups, and on the Dr. OZ show. Sharing my message about losing 100 pounds and getting my life back! If you would like to book a speaking engagement or are interested in me sharing my journey please reach out and contact me.
