Stop. Challenge. Choose! and my coach, Jacki Dalsimer are the two things that have changed my life. In 2008 I met Jacki at a local gym in Maryland when I walked in extremely overweight, miserable, embarrassed and ready to make a change. She motivated and guided me to drop 115 pounds. In 2014 I moved to Texas and the weight started to creep back. I never found another “Jacki” (and boy did I try). By way of social media, we reconnected in 2020 and she guided me again, but in a much different way. My issues with food were addressed and a lot of conversations and educating on making better choices. I lost 40 pounds, made exercise a habit and learned how to fuel and hydrate my body for life. Did I want to quit when I had no movement on the scale for 3 weeks? YES! But Jacki would not let me.
