My story begins about 39 years ago when I was in kindergarten. This is when I was first introduced to the idea of dieting. Throughout the years I have experienced disappointment after disappointment trying every diet I could find. Sometimes losing 10 to 20 pounds just to gain it all back plus more. By the age of 45 my health was rapidly deteriorating. I am a full time cosmetologist and wife. I was facing the serious possibility of having to go on disability because of the consequences of my weight. At my highest I was 460 pounds. In April 2019 my chiropractor introduced me to my OPTAVIA coach Jeannine. I started my OPTAVIA journey in May of 2019. I was hopeful, but skeptical, that this would finally be the answer I was looking for. After using the four components of OPTAVIA, I am down 163 pounds and finally starting to see a future, where before all I could see were my limitations. I feel so blessed to have found this pathway to optimal health and excited to help others do the same.
