Like so many middle-aged women, I had joined the "obese" club. I was 70 lbs overweight and nothing I did (or did not do) was changing it. There were many, many health issues. Too many to list. My mother was very ill, and life just did not seem worth living any more.

I hit rock bottom when I blew my knee out. I did not have insurance, nor money to have any surgery. I could not put any weight on it for over a month. For the first time in my life, at the age of only 41, I was completely helpless. I could not take care of my elderly mother, let alone myself. From the depths of my soul I cried out, "I need a miracle. I need a healing miracle."

Here I am 70 pounds overweight, unhealthy and convinced I was doomed to obesity for the rest of my life.

God really has a sense of humor. Shortly thereafter I met Luis. He is a personal trainer who takes his job very seriously. He was also in depserate need of a place to live. I decided that my health and my life were more important than my privacy, so I told him he could move in and he started training me right away.

Within 5 months I lost 70 lbs, and for a 5' 2" frame that is tremendous!! I have more endurance, strength and muscle now than I did when I was 18!! People actually ask me if I'm training for a body-building competition. But best of all, my health issues have GONE!! I truly believe our bodies are capable of healing themselves completely if we give them a healthy lifestyle.

I am working on my certification to be a personal trainer. It is my desire to reach out to others who feel hopeless and a prisoner in their own bodies and to give them hope and faith that they can receive their own HEALING MIRACLE!!

Sincerely

Colleen
