Who Am I?

My name is Imani and I am a 25 year old women who has come to realize how passionate  I am about health.  Its soooo important! I usually say it started after I had my son... I could not get the weight I had gained before and during pregnancy off me. But when I really think about, I have always had issues with the way I looked, I always felt like I was too big.  The real action came after I had my son.  I was still very over-weight and decided I had a choice to make.  Either I could continue to feel depressed about my size and the fact that I could not fit my clothes (sit around and whine).. or I could do something about it.... I choose the latter.
     Eventually I lost 80lbs, taking me from a size 20 pants to size 6 pants. I am still working on the toning aspect now, and trying to get into other physical hobbies like dance, and boxing.... but I am very satisfied with my heath progress so far. All this was done at one point without a gym membership, and I never had a personal trainer.... couldn't afford one at the time.
     Along the way, what I really learned is that true change comes when you go from words like "diet" and "exercise" to phrases like "this is my lifestyle."  Its not a diet, that wont cut it.... its a lifestyle change. For me its so important, I study on it and  I am currently a Nationally Certified Personal Fitness Trainer with AAAI/ISMA. I am also interested in going back to school to study nutrition.
     So why are you here?  Well, I have decided that I want to be apart of other peoples progress, and help in anyway I can.  Are you ready to be healthy?  Are you ready to not only look but really feel good? Are you ready to take control, and enjoy your life? Are you ready to live longer? What are you waiting for? Start today, ask me any questions you have....I look forward to hearing from you!
