A 12-Week Plan to Break Your Worst Food Habits While Changing Your Life Forever! The hardest part of losing weight, is gaining motivation. I know, because I have been there. I was once a 290-pound woman who was able to turn her life around, losing 130 pounds in the process. Through my own experiences and those of thousands of women I have coached, I understand the challenges we face when trying to change our lives. This common sense approach is the voice of reason in a sea of fads and fake promises. I do not believe is short term fixes or regimented programs because they are not successful in achieving what we really need - long term success and health.
