What was your motivation for joining the 90-Day Challenge?
I struggled with weight my entire life. No matter how much I exercised and watched what I ate, I could not lose weight, so I just gave up.

“I am 32 years old. I have 3 children ages 6, 4, and 2. I’ve really haven’t taken care of my body for the past 2 years. I had an accident and lost 4 liters of blood (yes, 80%). Seven blood transfusions later, they put me on life support and gave me almost no chance of survival. But God and some wonderful doctors pulled me back to this earth.
