When I was able to do errands I would park a little farther away from the door and walk. I also saw a dietician and went on a low fat, low calorie diet. I had to make this a life long change not just for the time being. I started losing weight very quickly and learned that also puts stress on a persons body which caused my MS to flare so I took it slow and steady.

Eventually, I started walking on the treadmill. I savor every step and rejoice in the good days and try to except the bad. I eventually found TAE BO and thank God everyday for Billy and his crew. I now do the Advanced Get Ripped series and love every second of it. (2 years ago my doctors told me to prepare to go blind and end up full time in a wheelchair) I was in a scooter full time then and was sent to Salt Lake City to check into a stem cell transplant which we opted not to do.

Anyway, by no means am I BUFFED out but that is my goal. I also had to retire from my dream nursing job but have found another passion as a personal fitness trainer and should be finished getting my license shortly. I am not going to let life stop me cause I am going for it big time!!!

It will be SO nice to meet everyone in LA. I do have one little problem though. "Major Culture Shock"!!! I am a small town girl from Montana and am NOT used to big cities. But I figure everything will go smoothly.

BTW I have lost between 180-190 lbs and feel GREAT with lots more energy. Thank you ALL for your wonderful support!! What a great group of people!!

Sincerely,

Samantha Jensen
