Sixty-five! That is an awesome number.

In the last 9 months, I have lost more than 65 pounds. This amazing transformation not only affected my outer appearance but it has shaped the outlook of my future business goals.

It all started December 2011, when my family took a Christmas photo. The day after, my father sent me the photo and I was horrified at how I had allowed myself to gain so much weight in the last 10 years. At that moment, I decided I needed to make a change not only for myself but also, for the health of my business.
