| Introduction | My name is V and I left NYC after 9 years as a student/designer. Why? A passion for lifestyle, weight loss/management and helping others reach their goals in a healthy manner! After two knee surgeries due to sports injuries in 2003, I gained a massive 50lbs! I weighed 215lbs when I finally put my foot down! Apparently you can't eat like a soccer player, stop playing soccer and expect to have the same rockin' bod! Who knew?! Scary question? If I didn't take control, who was going to?! My life was over at 25 years old. I had lost all grip. There were days I didn't want to leave my apartment, my room or my bed. I wanted to hide from everyone, even myself. The most remarkable discovery I made after losing 60lbs was not the number dropping on the scale. Gaining back control of my life, transforming my social experiences based on my new lifestyle and being able to say that I am more confident today than ever before are the gifts I've given myself! I'm hoping that I can help make a difference in the lives of my friends, my family and others who need a little motivation, inspiration and education! |
