I <3 CrossFit

Several years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. I was 100+ pounds over weight and I had hit rock bottom. On a hot summer day at Sea World I almost rented an electric scooter because I was so fat and miserable. That exact moment something inside me clicked and I decided I didn’t want to be fat, unhealthy, and unhappy anymore. Doctors told me I was just going to have to live with being overweight. I said, “ No Thanks!” I made some major life changes. It hasn’t been easy and I’ve hit a few road blocks along the way. But as of now, I have lost 96 pounds with the help of CrossFit and eating really, really clean.

 I am a stay at home mom and I home school my 2 kids. So to say I am busy is an understatement, but somehow I have learned to make time for myself. I am stronger and healthier then I have ever been in my life and I love it.

This blog is to help me get rid of my last few pounds and to hopefully motivate someone to do the same.

  2. Hi Lisa,
    You are absolutely stunning! I just started doing Crossfit 7 weeks ago. I feel much stronger and can see my clothes getting lose but I have not lost much weight. I am vegan and do eat clean. I wondered what else I can do to take the pounds off as I gain muscle. I am 51 years old and need to lose around 25 pounds. Thanks for the help and you are an inspiration!
