How have you maintained your weight loss and continued to lose weight?
I have maintained my weight loss by eating three healthy meals and three healthy snacks per day and working out five days a week.
My Nutritionist, Nutritionist Guru, has been there with me every step of the way. My trainer, King of the Fire, has guided me during this entire process to get the best body I’ve ever had (a body I didn’t even imagine I could get).
What has worked in terms of eating habits, and what worked in terms of exercise?
I eat healthy food (no junk foods), and I don’t overindulge or overeat. I have more energy, strength, and flexibility. I now have abs at the age of 55, toned legs, and toned arms. My confidence is at an all-time 10! I also continue to follow the structure and guidance of the Fitness on Fire Online Training Program.
Of the lessons you’ve learned so far, what stands out the most?
Age is just a number, and you can do anything you set your mind to. Also, having the right support system and team is priceless. I can’t thank Fitness on Fire team enough!
What stands out the most is my confidence, energy, and the big smile on my face. I genuinely feel amazing and healthy now. I feel like I’ve added more years to my life.
At this point, would you offer any new or different advice to people who want to lose weight?
- Don’t be afraid to start a fitness journey. Always start your journey for yourself.
- Have a made-up mind. Stay focused/consistent.
- Don’t let anybody or anything hinder you from reaching your goals.

What was your motivation? What inspired you to start your weight loss journey?
My motivation was working out in the gym for years, and never seeing any results. I was also motivated by not being able to fit any clothes that I desired. I was overindulging in junk foods, feeling depressed, and feeling sorry for myself. One day I was on youtube came across the Fitness On Fire Online Training Program. When I saw all the beautiful women’s transformations and how happy they looked, I wanted to be a part of that family
What inspired me to start my weight loss journey was me not wanting to go out and enjoy life due to menopause. I had weight gain from menopause, and I was turning 53. I didn’t feel attractive in any of my clothes, and I didn’t feel healthy or alive. I wanted to feel good regardless of my age.
How did you change your eating habits?
No fried foods, no soda, and no eating past 8 pm. I stopped eating was ice-cream, candy, and chips. To replace the junk food, I ate yogurt ice-cream, low-fat fruit snacks for candy, and baked chips.
I changed my eating habits by eating three healthy meals and three healthy snacks each day. I had fiber, protein, vegetables and fruits. I basically follow the regimen provided by my online nutritionist, NutritionistGuru, from the Fitness on Fire Online Training Program.
What did your workout routine consist of?
My workout consists of resistance training, which is the regimen given to me by my online trainer, “King or the Fire” from the FOF program. I worked out five days a week for 75-90 mins.
How long did your transformation take?
My transformation took six months. I started to see results about a month and a half into my journey when I tried on a pair of jeans that I was unable to get past my thighs. Being able to fit those jeans lit a fire within.
The Fitness on Fire program worked for me because Fire showed me the proper machines to work out on in the gym. This made a big difference because you feel so good knowing that you are working out, and it is working. NutritionistsGuru educated me on proper meals. Both my trainer and my nutritionist made sure I stayed on track. The program is all about being healthy and building a better you. This program is a life-changing program. You never go hungry, and you are not on a diet. It’s about replacing unhealthy foods with healthy foods. Other programs I tried in the past didn’t work because it was for a quick fix, not a lifestyle change.
What advice do you gave for others who want to lose weight?
Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “You got this.” Go out and buy that one outfit you so want to wear (something to give you that extra push). Prove yourself to yourself and not anyone else. ALWAYS look forward, never back. Little steps turn into big steps.
