My weight-loss journey began at 250 pounds. After having my third child, I realized I could no longer run, play, and keep up with her the way I had with my first two. I was also facing health concerns common in my family, and I had watched loved ones struggle with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, heart problems, and cancer. I knew I wanted a different path for myself.

I set a goal to lose 100 pounds, with no deadline. This would be my journey, and I would take it one step at a time.

My journey included many small goals, changes, and lessons. Whenever I reached a plateau, I learned that nothing had gone wrong. It was a sign to try something different. I explored new ways of eating and moving, including walking, strength training, yoga, Tai Chi, dance, health clubs, and wellness programs.

Yoga became an important turning point. Through breathing, meditation, and mindfulness, I learned how much my mindset shaped my choices. Lasting weight loss was about more than the number on the scale. It was about how I thought, ate, moved, handled stress, and cared for myself.

Over 18 years, I lost more than 100 pounds. It wasn’t fast, and that’s exactly why it lasted.

When I shared in my Tai-Chi Qigong group that I had lost 95 pounds, several people asked, “How did you do it?” I realized there wasn’t one simple answer. It had been years of learning, adjusting, growing, and continuing forward. That moment inspired me to help others.
