FOREVER FIT AMY
A mom, wife, teacher, and health aficionado ready to help you achieve your goals
Think I look familiar? You may have seen my weight loss success story in Shape Magazine (Aug. 2012). Yep, that's me (and three of my four kiddos). Pretty cool, huh?
ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER?
MY STORY
I'm a 30-something year old mother of four and wife of one. I've been married since 2002, and I first became a mother in 2005 to the cutie on the left there. Just 8 months after his birth, my life changed forever.
On November 3, 2005, I received a phone call from my very pregnant sister saying I needed to get to the hospital because something had happened to our mother. When I arrived, I was told she was dead. She was only 47. She had died of a massive heart attack. She was over 300 pounds and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes per day. She died 3 days before my sister had her first child. We were devastated to say the least!
It was shortly after my mom's death that I decided I needed to do something about my weight. I went from 260 pounds down to 150 pounds (with two added pregnancies in there).
In 2012, just after losing our dad to a heart attack (he was 55), I was contacted by SHAPE Magazine to have my weight loss story featured in their August 2012 issue (see below).
I had one more child, gained a lot of weight, and am getting close to my goal weight again. I will share my tips, reviews, and stories here.
Here's my story from the August 2012 Shape Magazine. Isn't it really cool? Talk about something that I thought would never happen to me! I had always read this real people's stories for inspiration. I find it an honor that I could do the same thing for others.
