i have spent the majority of my life as the girl seen, but never really noticed. always the one sneaking out of photos or hiding myself in the back - i was simply a smiling face in the background never any real proof that i was there.

years of self neglect had left me staring at a stranger in the mirror. in january of '13 i knew things had gone too far - however it wasn t until april that i finally had the courage to step on a scale.

i couldn t believe what i saw on the scale display! i needed to do something, but what?

i had tried so many diets over the years Atkins, South Beach, Fat Flush, Cabbage Soup, Master Cleanse, Sensa, Herbalife, Nutrisystem, the list goes on. all worked at first - all failed shortly there after.

something was missing. something wasn t working.

as i overheard a fellow client at my hair salon talk about her recent success with bariatric surgery i thought to myself, "maybe this is what i need".

i went home & i started where we all start... i goodled. \but something STILL didn t seem right. it felt like... well... like surgery, for me, would be cheating & taking the easy way out.

i had done this to myself. i had put each of these pounds ON - i need to earn getting each of them OFF. the only way i would ever truly appreciate the weight loss & love myself for it is if i did it the "hard" way.

i started small - eating healthier, walking more, even joined a ladies only gym. i had some progress - but then i plateaued & quickly became bored & frustrated.

i needed more... i needed a professional... someone to guide me thru the process that really understood the science behind the sweat :D i had heard about Vernia Smith, Shape Health & Fitness, thru a mutual associate - so i decided to reach out. by far the best decision i have made in YEARS.

Vernia is the perfect combination of motivation, inspiration, knowledge & dedication. the customized Tri Point System he created for me combines exercise, a nutritious (delicious and easy to follow) meal plan & just the right combination of supplements (there is NO way i would have ever figured those out!).

i have been a remote/internet member of Shape Health & Fitness for under 2 months & not only have i broken thru my horrible plateau, but i have lost another 24lbs! :D in addition to the weight loss, Vernia has helped keep me motivated, interested & excited about my new lifestyle.

i am beyond pleased with what i have accomplished in a short amount of time & for once i am truly looking forward to having new and amazing life experiences - this time with photo proof that i was there!

if you are ready REALLY ready... then you have FOUND the place! Shape Health & Fitness can give you all the guidance & tools you need - you just have to give them the dedication oh and LOTS of your sweat :D
