My Story!

Hi Everyone! My name is Stacie and I'm from Huntington Beach, CA. I'm a full-time nursing student and I also work part-time to stay busy! 
Just a few years ago I weighed over 300 lbs. There was a moment of clarity, a breaking point, when I decided that I could no longer live in the body I had. I was exhausted most of the time, I was embarrassed in public at a local amusement park when I couldn't fit the harness down on the ride, people treated me differently... It was time to make a change. I took responsibility for my health and my happiness and I started the amazing journey to redefine my health and my way of life.
3 years later I'm still struggling to meet my final goal, but my life has changed in ways I could not even begin to describe. I was always happy and confident with who I was on the inside, but changing the way I felt about the outside allowed me to shine even brighter! I had no idea that I was missing out on life until I started doing all the things I wasn't able to do before. I started hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding, water skiing, even sky diving! Losing weight and getting healthy was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I want to share that experience with other people!
I understand how hard it is to get started when you feel like there is no way to lose the weight. At over 300lbs,  I thought it was impossible for me to get started or see any real difference.  I know what it feels like to want to quit because you don't see the results you want, or it's not happening quick enough. I've gone through the struggles and I have come out a better and stronger person for it. In the end, all of the hard work and perseverance pays off in the most amazing ways!  I can't even describe the level of happiness I feel now; I know that I accomplished something incredible for myself, and my quality of life has improved 10 fold! If I can do it, anyone can!
