"Over the past 15 years I began spiraling out of control.  Food was becoming a comfort.

I was becoming an emotional stress eater and the weight was increasing.  It reached a point where my friends and family were concerned about my health. 

I avoided the mirror; actually I was scared to look in the mirror.  I was over 100 pounds overweight and my blood pressure was high.  I was frightened because hypertension and heart disease runs in my family.  I knew I needed to take control but felt so overwhelmed.

A friend encouraged me to visit Genesis Personal Fitness and I am so grateful that I did.  Genesis taught me to take control.  It was a whole new way of eating for me.  My program of fitness and nutrition was made just for me. 

I followed my customized plan and shrunk 10 dress sizes, 80 inches and 73 pounds in their 26-week Body Transformation Program.  I am so excited about life that I just want to play all the time. 

The education and nutrition plan is something you can really stick to.  Once you learn what you're doing - it's simple and freeing.  You learn what to eat for your body type and then you have a nutritional coach guiding you the whole time.

I feel so much healthier.  My knees were so bad that walking became quite painful.  Now I love taking walks with no joint pain.  I almost can't believe that I spent so many years staying home because I wouldn't want to be seen in public.  Now I am really starting to live again - to enjoy life again.

I'm even dressing nicer because I care about how I look and feel really good about myself.
 
Besides the health improvements, I'm just more positive about life.  It's like I'm alive again - not depressed and pessimistic.  My son is so proud of me.  My family friends and co-workers are commenting on my progress and complimenting my appearance.

I know that this is a whole new me because when I was in my brother's wedding I wasn't running from the camera like I usually do.  Thank you Genesis for the support, encouragement and a whole new life!"
