I started doing CrossFit with Alicia at the inception of her classes in the summer of 2008.  It was the best workout in the least amount of time that I had ever done.  It was amazing..  I was seeing results, but not as fast as I wanted.  I noticed that my body was starting to tone up, but the weight loss just wasn't happening.  In November I had some health issues and couldn't workout like I had been before and I was getting frustrated.  By the time my health issues were resolved, it was mid-March and I hit rock bottom.

It was a sunny day and I had been at a party with neighborhood friends the night before, and I was tired of being overweight.  I had been doing CrossFit with Alicia for 9 months, but hadn't changed my diet.  I called Alicia, crying, and asked her why I was the fattest woman in the neighborhood.  That day changed my life.  That day I started the diet.  I am 5'2 and weighed 157 lbs.  My body fat was 37%. 

It has been 6 months since starting the diet and doing CrossFit 5 days a week. I now weigh 122 lbs and my body fat at last check (7 lbs ago) was 25%.  I feel stronger, happier, more energetic.  I feel more empowered as a woman and a mother.  I have more confidence to be the person that I deserve to be.  It takes determination, will power and consistency.  If I can do it, you can do it.
