Introduction

Hi, my name is Aveane,

I am from the Chicago area, and I started this blog since I have another one that I use on my beachbody website, and also to have others follow me through this amazing journey, and possibly help some people along the way because that's what it's all about: ending the trend of obesity.

As long as I can remember I have always been overweight, and never truly happy in my own skin. I have always been told I am beautiful, and it took a while for me to believe that and especially with being overweight. As I got older I have accepted the fact that I am a plus size woman, and beautiful.

Back in 2007, I got sick with an autoimmune disease they call Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism) I lost 80lbs in 4-5 months and didn't realize I was sick, until I felt like I was losing control over everything in my life. Started having tremors, and heart palpitations, eyes bulging, over-eating and still losing weight, and staying up all night sleeping all day. Eventually after getting my TSH levels normal I decided to finally commit and try this weight loss again.

I have always said I am going to lose this weight some way or another, but never followed through with it. I don't know why it has taking me this long at the age of 29 to realize that I am serious about this journey. I just feel like once I feel more confident about myself I will be confident in everything that I do and yet done.

So here I am 2 months in and 27lbs lighter and I am gaining so much confidence and feeling great inside and out, thanks to my beachbody team, coach Lisa Torres, and Beachbody products. I am hoping I can inspire and help someone along the way, so keep following me through my amazing journey.
