Hello ShapelyGirls and Welcome to my Blog...

I am so excited that you found our ShapelyGirl community! I created this site to help you get fit and healthy - and stay that way - no matter what size you are. You’ll find support, ideas and tips here; not only from me, but from other curvy women who are fighting the same battle.

I remember the challenges and struggles I faced in my life many years ago when I weighed over 300 pounds. Every day I felt overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do to feel better. But I never gave up trying and neither should you. Every day is a new beginning and, together, we will embark on this new journey.

First, I gave up fad diets and began to make a lifestyle change that I still follow today, 25 years later. Then I learned that by moving my body, breathing hard and taking one step at a time, I could find hope and a healthy life. It was exercise that saved me. By focusing on fitness first, I found a whole new world. I got off the couch and started to live for the first time in my life. You can too!

By doing my workouts and becoming part of our ShapelyGirl community you will be on your way to finding the same success. You are going to look and feel great! There is a new life waiting for you. I believe in you. So get off the couch - and let’s get moving!
