I LOST 50 POUNDS!!!


Two years ago I was over weight, in this video you will find out how I lost 50 pounds within 6 months from the comfort of my own home. Also a peek of some of the clothing I used to wear, how I went from a size 40DDD bra to a 38D, how I got rid of my celulite and black stretch marks and more..

P.S Everybody is different, get to know your Own body and what it needs,nothing beats Hard work and Determination!

Before I dedicated myself to a healthier lifestyle, I was Always teased at school and almost everywhere I go.. it would seem as though I was a "walking disaster". Also, I hated the way how I looked,hated taking pictures! Even worst the way how I felt about myself, I've had a very LOW self esteem! And hinder myself from believing in my dreams to be a singer and any other goals I wanted to achieve. I hated school. The turning point in my life was when I decided "Enough, was Enough" was the very last day, I've finished my year at the Garrison Secondary School in Barbados.


I remember telling a few friends "I Am going to change my lifestyle and Go after my Dreams".. I know right .. They proberly thought I was kidding..




Me hiding behind my niece!

I remember giving myself a year off, to figure out what was the next approach I wanted to do with my life. Christmas was approaching and my dad asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted money.. Boy, did I had my eye on that prize.
I was soo determined to save for the Gunnar Peterson "Core Secrets" program, the day that it arrived,I was Soo ExciTeD.. my dad looked at me with disbelief in his eyes saying the words "It is not going to work, your not going to loose any weight" had I listen to him I would not have made the first step in givinig it a shot

I prayed to God before I started the program. within 2 weeks I have seen some results :) I was sooo thrilled, everyone was telling me how I looked smaller, I followed the diet plan, all the late workouts. I will admit :) It was working. I've followed up with it more than 4 months, until that faitful day my niece bit the BALL!!!! I mean it worked for a few more weeks after, then next thing I knew when I sat on it, it Burst!!! All, I said to myself was "No, you DIDN'T"..

Again, I was back to square one!

I packed on the pounds and inches that I lost.. I wanted to give up on myself. Yet, again.. I was in desperate NEED to loose this weight. I prayed once more again to God, all teary eyed. Remembering, what I had promised myself.

I then decided to do my very own research on diets,exercises etc. I wanted to do it naturally.I've found sooo many other people on youtube that were just like me. And, inspired me to Never give up!

After a recommendation from a close friend of mine. I bought the "Back To Eden" by Jethro kloss 2nd edition


The Back to Eden book taught me how to change my diet. It was very hard because I loved to eat food. However, I was more determined and started portioning out my food,eating every 2-3 hours. The diet consisted of me cutting out meat,bread and junk foods.

After speaking to a friend of mine from the military, I also designed very own exercise routine, consisting of squats,lunges.. I found them to be pretty boring and took another approach.

Before, trying to tone, I needed to loose some of the fat, because while doing the squats and lunges, I built muscle on top of fat..as soon as I had stopped it have turned into fat.. which made the work harder.

So, I started to do cardio.. Every mornin I would first drink a cup of warm water and found it very helpful to melt my stomach fat; then I would go for a brisk walk that lasted for 1 1/2 hours. Leaving home at 5:30 am in the morning.

It was so Amazing!! To experince the fresh air, nature's tranquility and peace.In addition to my workout I would do ten minutes of cardio on the treadmil, some body weight movements and then conclude with with stretching.

In the three months I've lost 20 pounds and started to look and feel different.

Unfortunately, everyone was not happy with my results and wanted to know if I was sick.."ya, kno how some Bajans can be"..lol

Some family members and some friends told me that I had looked bad and should try to regain the weight back.It really confused me to be quite honest and really sadden my soul to the core. My skin had broken with some real serious Acne. It was Alot Worst in person!




Did I Give Up?? ..
Remembering I endured weighing a whooping 180 pounds,
From that moment I've realised I can't pleased everyone.. I was even more determined  only pleaseing God & myself. So, I decided to change mentally too.


If I can DO it.. SO can you!!
