I've been married for 12 years to a wonderful man and am the proud mother of two beautiful little boys (10 and 6).

I'm barely 5' tall, so it's hard to hide any extra weight. I love to lift weights and I am a Zumba instructor and Personal Trainer. I'm actually addicted to Zumba! If you ever get a chance, I suggest you try it!

TDP has helped me finally reach my fitness goals and I've maintained it for 3 years. My goal is to continue this healthy lifestyle.
