Exciting news!!!

If you have kept up with this blog, you know that I initially began working out for MYSELF, but it has become about so much more since the conception of GoFitCoach. I stand in amazement at how this is expanding to reach more and more people.

I am honored to now be the Fitness/Nutrition adviser for a Hashimoto support group!

For those of you unfamiliar with Hashimoto's Disease, it is a type of autoimmune thyroid disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland helps the body set its metabolic rate. The common symptoms are fatigue, depression, sensitivity to cold, weight gain, forgetfulness, muscle weakness, puffy face, dry skin and hair, constipation, muscle cramps, and increased menstrual flow. Some patients have major swelling of the thyroid gland in the front of the neck, called goiter. Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States.

Choose Your Coach Wisely

When you are choosing your personal fitness coach, do your homework!!! Due to my medical experience, I am BIG into advocating that folks make well-informed decisions!

Two important questions to ask:

  • What are the coach's credentials?
  • Does the coach have a strong working knowledge of health and nutrition?
You will be looking to this person for advice and guidance. Would you go to just anyone for financial advice? Or how about trusting just any auto mechanic? Of course not! Well, why would you go to just anyone for coaching?

Behind GoFitCoach: How it started

When I first started working out in August with BeachBody products, I had NO IDEA where it was going to lead. I just wanted to lose weight. However, I'm a firm believer that God has a plan.

As I progressed in my own fitness level, I made the decision to help others achieve their goals, so I became a coach. I began at first to coach a few people but that soon grew into over 100 folks! Thus GoFitCoach was born!!! AND I NEEDED HELP!

I sought out a few of MY coachees to work side-by-side with me as coaches. I have been very blessed with the people that God has placed in my life. As I have mentored them, I have truly watched them BLOSSOM!!!!

When you go to my newbie coaching thread or The Cafe in the Slim in 6 forum, you will see that they are called Ro's Angels. This is because 3 other lovely ladies (Coaches Hope, Tammy, and Michele) help me coach and guide a boat-load of people. We have another excellent coach, Jen, who has a mommy thread in the Slim in 6 forum called Slimmin' at Home Moms. Our newest coach, Tiffany is in the Turbo Jam forum with a thread called The Turbo Summer Challenge is Under Way!

Some of our coaches are now beginning to think about mentoring other coaches as well!!! It is very exciting to see this unfold. We want to impact as many people as possible to encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle. BeachBody gives us the proven tools to do that. We are encouraging people to look BEYOND the threads to impact people. Perhaps starting a fitness ministry in church, or talking with all your friends, or looking at those who come in contact with your place employment. The possibilities are endless!!!

In the midst of the evolution of GoFitCaoch, I also made the decision to become certified as a Nutrition/Wellness Consultant. It is a perfect marriage with my nursing degree and love of fitness! I'm currently completing the certification, and I plan to use this certification to do in-depth nutritional consultations for people. I will post when this service becomes available.

My hubby

I'm very excited to say that my hubby, Keith, is also a coach!!! He will have a blog shortly for "the guys," and we are currently working on a GoFitCoach website!!!

Until then, I thought that I would introduce him. I've been married to this wonderful man for 17 years! He is 44 years old, a former Marine and is currently in the National Guard. He has always been active and in very good shape. His Guard unit was activated for a tour in Afghanistan in '05, and Keith was injured during the training before deployment. As a result, he had to have spinal surgery just this past November.

He is currently in the process of getting back into shape following 2 years of hardship and LOVES motivating other guys. Be prepared to hear a lot more from this man!

My BeachBody Story...

All of my life I have had a love/hate relationship with the same 20 lbs. I have lost and gained these twenty pounds more times than I can count. I have worked out in a gym, been to Weight Watchers, been on fad diets, and tried other programs at home. All were successful...but all were—surprise, surprise—also very short-lived.

Over the course of the past year, 25 extra pounds had “inexplicably” crept on. I chalked up the extra pounds to age and genetics; at age 39, I told myself that I was destined to look like this. After all, why would I be different than every single woman in my family, who started a size 6-8 in her youth, but by mid-life, ballooned to 200+ pounds. Of course, the fact that I would eat whatever and whenever I wanted, never crossed my mind! Happy, sad, stressed, angry...all these emotions were excuses for me to eat.

Then one August morning, I woke up very early and looked at myself. I couldn’t believe that I had allowed myself to get like this! I was disgusted with myself. I turned on the TV...something I never do that early in the am...and found a “Slim in 6” infomercial. I had never heard of the program, nor do I ever actually ORDER from infomercials! However, after watching 10 min, I decided, “Hey, I need to do something! I might as well try this. What is 6 weeks?” I ordered the program then and there.

That decision changed the course of my life.

My Transformation Story:

My Slim in 6 journey was not an easy one. My unhealthy relationship with food had to be dealt with. The first 2 weeks were difficult as I attempted to figure out HOW to eat, WHAT to eat, and WHEN to eat. I would attempt to eat low calories, only to find myself binging in the afternoon. With the help of my coach and the BeachBody custom meal planner, I learned how to eat the correct portions. I’ve now learned to listen to my body and put healthy food into it. At the end of my Si6 journey, I had lost 10lbs and 16 in! I felt victorious!

One week after finishing Si6, my brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor and my husband was told that he needed spinal surgery. My life that I had just got under control suddenly was turned upside down! I was overwhelmed! I immediately found myself wanting to turn to my old friends: McDonalds, Burger King, and Pizza Hut. They had always comforted me in the past. This time, however, was different! I had new resources to turn to. I can honestly say that my coach and threadmates got me through a very difficult few months. I have come out stronger as a result. Once again, I am victorious!

My next step was Slim Series. I love this program! It really boosted my metabolism and helped me lose an additional 6 lbs and 8 in. Muscles are showing! I have also done P90X, Turbo Jam and "played" with Hip Hop Abs. I have now added in Ten Minute Trainer and Slim Series Express. I have gone from wearing a tight size 12 to wearing a size 6! For the first time in 15 years, I am wearing a bikini!!! I was a top 20 finalist for the newest Slim in 6 infomercial!!!

As A COACH, I have had 2 of the most popular threads on the Slim in 6 forums! My newbie thread has had 100,000 hits in the first 3 months!!!! I love to help others achieve their goals. I get such a sense of satisfaction from it! Now, not only am I coaching folks, but I am mentoring new coaches to the same level of success that I have had. I want to EMPOWER people!

I'm here, ready and willing to help you get the same amazing results that I did! Here's to a FIT and HEALTHY 2008!

BeachBody Discovery



In August of 2007, I discovered Slim in 6 on TV. I had no idea what was in store for me. I thought that I had simply purchased a 6-week workout program. NOPE! I found myself in a wonderful virtual gym where I have a coach and the motivation of thousands of others!!! I was dumbfounded!

The rest, they say, is history!!!

Here are my transformation pictures from August to January.

The summer of 2007


I have struggled since a teen with my weight...gaining and losing the same 20 lbs over and over. Here I am last year. This is even my heaviest from last summer. I continued to gain all summer long until I hit my heaviest in August of 157 lbs. At 5'5" and 39 years old, I was headed down the path of obesity that has plagued my family for as long as I can remember.

You can read my story on my profile.
