in Introduce Yourself
Just want to share my story:

December 2007 was a life changing point for me. I was 25 weeks pregnant and had gone for a routine ultrasound. The doctor gave some news no parent ever wants to hear. We just discovered you are having twins and things are not looking good. I delivered 3 days after and was able to be with one of my precious little boys for 10 days. Death of a loved one is always a cause of morning. However, when a baby dies, (in my case two) there is a sadness that goes beyond normal grief. The months that followed made me slip into a deep state of depression. I gained so much weight that couldn’t recognize myself.
Determined to find life after such tragic loss, I found peace in exercising. I could get lost in my thoughts, cry, be mad, be frustrated, but at the end of my run/walk, I felt much better. I soon was off medication and found light at the end of the tunnel. I also was surrounded by a great support group that I call my friends and family.
I discovered beachbody products in 2011. I had set a goal to run a marathon and needed a supplement workout that would help with speed and agility. I knew it was going to take lots of hard work and determination.
My first order was TurboFire and Shakeology. I quickly lost 15lbs and was able to run a 5K without feeling like I was going to die! I then continued on with Insanity, Asylum, BBL. I must say that these products were a huge aid in me achieving my goal. In Feb. 2013 I ran my first Marathon and was down 37 lbs!!
I believe that the pain endured, was the fire that allowed me to rise from the ashes. Most of all, I fully realize what I have become. I am a stronger, happier and healthier individual. I want to be able to help, motivate and inspire anyone that can relate to my story.
