100+ lost and it all started here in 2012 on mfp

For those of you who don't know know me very well I was never a "chubby" or "over weight kid. I was very average build, VERY active in softball, loved to swim and dabbled in different sporting activities here and there.


The sudden passing of my father in January 2002, was a huge turning point for me in my. Being "daddies little girl," to me is an understand statement!!! I had lost my best friend, and I couldn't deal. It was a slow decline for me. Putting on that fake smile and fun loving silly Emily that everyone knew and loved. I met my ex husband in the summer of 2004, and I became content with a very sedentary lifestyle, of drinking- A LOT ( I would drink 3-6 beers/ night )eating whatever I could stuff into my face, and smoking. By time we married in 2008, I was at my heaviest weight ever. A size 20, 2XL, 225LBS...(I had lost A LOT OF FRIENDS DURING HIS TIME FOR REASONS THAT WILL REMAIN PRIVATE)Being miserable and depressed with myself in every way, the pattern continued until 2012. My dear friend Robyn, who had been on some of the journey with me, especially the early years, had began her fitness journey, and watching her, I became inspired. I had an awakening!!! I quit making randomly one day!! Started making small changes to my diet, and in walks #turbofire, my first ever #beachbody program! Being waaaaaaay too intense I went to my new coach and got #Slimin6! Completed that, lost 10lbs, and kept in chugging to lose 75 more pounds with #turbofire and I never looked back. #Beachbody programs have helped me not only to change my body, but my mind, my drive and they truly help me find myself, and I could not believe in a company and its products more!!!!In 2013 I got divorced, moved out on my own for the first time in my life and have recently gotten engaged again! To be married June 23, 2018 (the day before my daddies bday!!
