What was your motivation?
I wanted a healthier better life. I have been divorced for almost 5 years. I married my high school boyfriend and had my first child at 19 years old. I had my second child 13 months later. I also had 3 c-sections before the age of 25. Later, I lost my mother when I was 26. My whole adult life, I have been catering to everyone’s needs and neglecting myself. My marriage was bad, however I just kept fighting and working to make things better.

I suffered a heart attack at the age of 32. That day, I worked while not feeling well and drove myself to the hospital after my shift. Thank God, there was no permanent damage, but I thought that my family almost losing me would make our lives improve. It didn’t.

What inspired you to start your weight loss journey?
After my divorce I decided that I was going to find out who I was and make myself priority. I was lonely and wanted to be loved, so I decided to love myself.

How did you change your eating habits?
I maintained a pretty healthy diet because my kids suffer from Crohn’s Disease. However, I did give up bad carbs, like pasta and potatoes. I’m not big on desserts, but enjoyed an occasional cocktail. I started incorporating more vegetables in my diet, as well as protein. I am not a big meat eater, so I had to substitute some portions with beans and other good proteins choices.

What did your workouts consist of?
I worked out 5 days a week for 60-120 minutes doing HIIT and cardio. I followed the guidance of my online trainer, “King of the Fire” from the Fitness on Fire Online Training Program.

How long did your transformation take?
It took 9 months.

What advice do you have for others who want to lose weight?
Be loyal to yourself and your journey. Make your journey your priority.

Why did the Fitness on Fire Online Training Program work for you vs other programs you’ve tried before?
The FOF program worked for me because I was guided by specific instructions that made me accountable for the success of my journey.
