I hope Erica's story touches your heart as much as it did mine. She is proof that anything is possible if you are determined and have the proper nutrition and fitness tools to meet your goal. Most importantly, YOU ARE WORTH IT.
"My journey started in the beginning of this year when I was at my heaviest weight ever. The end of January I was diagnosed with diabetes, liver failure, and high blood pressure. After seeing a liver specialist, I was told my liver would never be better, I could only slow down the inevitable by losing at least 40 pounds. I was told I maybe had 10 years. I was put on numerous medications for the diabetes and blood pressure.
On February 10th, I went to see a nutritionist for the first time and was taught how to eat and track calories. I met Lorie (her Team Beachbody Coach) through FB in March and joined in on my first Shakeology challenge in April.
Within 6 months I had lost 65 pounds and completely got rid of my diabetes, high blood pressure, got off all medication and best of all at my liver ultrasound I found out my liver had in fact healed itself even though the specialist said it wouldnt!
Now 10 months into my journey, I am down 75 pounds, I have lost over 12 inches in just my stomach alone, I have built muscle definition I never thought possible, and I am the healthiest and happiest I've ever been! I drink vegan chocolate shakeo, I eat clean, go to gym regularly, and I am doing Hammer and Chisel at the moment! I am now an Emerald coach,
Why did I neglect myself and my health for so long? Why do a lot of people neglect themselves? I went from the beginning of the year feeling not worthy to finally realizing my worth! I AM important and so is my health.
I love sharing my story and helping others. I am doing things I never thought possible, even ran my first 5K. I have so many people to thank for their support, but most of all Lorie...for reaching out to me and helping me change my life.
