I was losing confidence in myself, presenting myself and being out there professionally. The doctor said I was overweight. He stared me in the face and said my cholesterol was too high and that we had to watch it this upcoming year or I'd have to go on medication.

I travel a lot, and before I would just crash in the hotel room. I did have the time to go and exercise in the room. I just didn't realize it. By helping me realize what my bad habits were and realizing some tweaks that I can do really opened my eyes as far as how I can change my life.

I tried other things over the years. It was something that was not normal to me.

I had to fit to the program, and Retrofit really fit to me. I really think that it worked for me because of the team aspect and the data aspect. I felt they were like in my corner, and they helped me be accountable. They gave me constant feedback, and I would follow the program and it made me motivated to follow the program.

I've lost 47 pounds on Retrofit. I believe the weight will stay off this time because I now have the tools that I really didn't have before. You should live life, be conscious about it. Is it really worth it? Do I really need that? Save it for something that means something to you.

Compliments are currency for the soul. It feels really good to hear compliments.
