Transformation for the WIN!

Wait up, hold a min!! I have a BIG celebration to announce! 📢 This lady is such a beautiful person and she shows up every day happy and grateful. She helps remind me to keep things in perspective and live happy. I'm so honored to highlight her today for #TransformationTuesday. Read on to hear a bit about what she has to say...

"I've always been petite, but never really in shape or super skinny. I've always tried to watch 👀 my weight...and watched it rise as often as I watched it drop... I would adjust my diet by skipping meals or cutting carbs to keep my weight down. I know, not healthy.

After 2 kids, I was in a slump. 😕 It was hard for me to lose weight on my usual go-to trend diets. It's so much harder to do than when we were in our 20s, right ladies??

While I was struggling, I saw my friend Susan loosing weight by exercising at home and changing the way she ate, not by skipping meals or depriving herself. I thought, if she can, I can! She works a ton and has her hands full with a kiddo too... So, I thought I'd give it a try since what I was doing wasn't working anymore anyways. Why not, right?

That was 1 year ago! I've made it my lifestyle, not just another trend diet that didn't last. These programs and community teach me a healthy and happy lifestyle. They make it so much easier to understand how to be healthy to stay fit and trim. 🙌 It's a way of doing it to be proud of and I get to do it with my friends. 😊

I'm so proud of myself! I've lost a total of 16 pounds and gained lots of muscle! These pictures represent the external and internal change. I'm happier, healthier and teaching my family how to do it the right way too. Thanks to my good friend for getting me started, and fit family for helping me keep going. I couldn't do it without you!"

Melanie, you are incredible inside and out. You are a light and simply a pleasure to know. You make me smile and keep our challenges fun and positive. I'm thrilled you found something that works for you and grateful that you are a part of our fit family!
