My faith dictates a whole lot of what I'll do.

Priorities and purpose help keep us on track.

It wasn't about me trying to lose weight. It was all about emotions.

I eat healthy and drink a lot of water. I eliminated most white sugar and dairy from my diet. It's done wonders for me not only in maintaining a healthy weight, but it's increased my energy levels and immunity.

Personally I'm an advocate for healthy marriages and families and I do a lot of speaking around the country sharing my faith and talking to women's groups, even specifically about marriage.

God created each one of us in our own unique way. Just like a snowflake we all hold a blueprint that differs one from another. It's great to lose weight and keep our bodies healthy and strong, but it's also important that we appreciate who we are today - with or without extra pounds.

I'm a mom, so I have to be comfortable. Jeans are a staple - I have way too many in my closet! It's warm in Florida, so I wear jeans and a tank top every day. I love my True Religions, my Rich and Skinny, and Citizens of Humanity. But I also love getting dressed up!
