I started in January 2017, so it’s been a 18 month transformation.
What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
I’ve learned that you never give up, no matter how hard the battle is. There’s a winner in everyone. All it takes is dedication.
What advice do you have for other people who want to lose weight?
I would let them know that it takes motivation. Once you start, you’ll never stop.
