My Story

For the past 30 years I’ve earned a very good living being a plus size woman. Starting as a plus size model then commentating fashion shows and speaking on issues of self esteem and self image for women, becoming an author and finally the spokesperson for the largest retailer of plus size women’s clothing in the world. But while I was plus size I was never unfit – until NOW!

I knew the importance of a good diet and exercise program to creating and maintaining a healthy body, mind and spirit. Yet even with that knowledge I allowed myself to make poor diet and exercise choices blaming my choices on my busy lifestyle.

From 1996-2002 I was traveling 20-25 days per month putting in long days between television and radio appearances, in store trainings, one on ones with customers, talks and seminars. I was living out of a suitcase and opted for the extra half hour of sleep over exercising.

Missing meals, eating on the run and restaurant eating didn’t do a whole lot for my nutritional health either. The high percentage of fat, sugar, sodium etc. in restaurant foods started a steady weight gain and with no exercise to help burn calories and keep muscle tone the weight turned to solid fat. As a result of my poor choices, I not only gained 70 pounds but more importantly lost muscle tone and became UNFIT and unhealthy. It’s okay to be fat but it’s not okay to be unfit.

There must be a better way…!

By the time my life became less hectic, I found myself unfit and depressed. I wanted to exercise but I felt too fat and unfit to go to a gym and try to keep up with the thin aerobics instructors not to mention feel inconspicuous among all those skinny women. I weighed 314 pounds for goodness sake. I would have loved to have a personal trainer come to the house and create exercises for me starting at my present fitness level but who can afford that I thought? I wondered if other women felt the same way?

I also knew that most diet and exercise programs only dealt with the physical manifestations of being unfit and didn’t delve into the mental, emotional or spiritual reasons. If I was going to be successful at getting fit, I had to get totally fit not just physically fit. Then it hit me. Why not create my own program that incorporated exercise, meditation, visualization, sound healing, aromatherapy and more. And why not open it up to other women so they could get fit along with me. So I put together this wholeness program that helps to center, balance and calm the inner world while bringing the gym to you.

I have created several workout programs starting with basic stretching and resistance and working my way up to more strenuous programs as I reach a greater level of fitness. The programs incorporate a combination of strength, resistance and aerobic training to help us achieve optimal physical fitness quickly. I am already down 25 pounds as a result of these programs. You can now exercise with me daily for FREE.

I am a plus size woman so I know what it’s like to be fat and uncomfortable in my body. That’s something most size 6 aerobics instructors can’t imagine. I know some of you are going to have to start out slow and that’s exactly what we are going to do. The days of sitting on a back burner watching other people having the fun are over. We are going to get healthy and begin to really enjoy our lives. We are going to get fit together.

You can exercise with me daily right here on line for FREE and have the benefits of in-home comfort and the knowledge that we are getting fit together. And for only $4 per week; $12 per month; $30 for three months; $49 for 6 months; or $79 for the year, you can join my total fitness program that includes downloadable meditations and a journal; monthly newsletters; by-weekly webinars; Weekly chat room sessions; Message boards; access to my online diary; pictures of my progress and more.
