I Finally Learned to Listen to My Body!
After years of failed diets, weight gain, bloating, exhaustion, irritability, and feeling frustrated with myself, I decided to fully commit to 2030 FastTrack and Listen to Your Body.
And it changed everything.
Life Before
Before starting the program, I was frustrated, uncomfortable, and honestly exhausted from trying so many things that never seemed to work long-term.
My clothes kept getting tighter and tighter, and over the years I had tried so many diets, eating plans, and workouts with little to no lasting success. I had gained weight over about seven years, and my hormones felt completely out of balance. I was fatigued, bloated, irritable, lethargic, and just didn’t feel well anymore.
I had actually done the 2030 Fast Track years ago and experienced some success, but looking back now, I realize I never completed Listen to Your Body (LTYB), and that made a huge difference. I never truly learned how to listen to my body, sustain the results, or address the mindset piece. At the time, I didn’t even realize how important mindset really was.
This time was different.
In Process
I started the program again on Super Bowl weekend in February 2025, and I made a decision that I was going to fully commit — not just to the program, but to myself.
Every single morning for an entire year, I texted my coach my weight using a template I kept in my phone notes. I took my scale everywhere… even on vacation! I listened to all of the Master Classes, Lifestyle Success Lessons, and Motivational Mondays. Most importantly, I worked on changing the way I thought about myself.
I began eliminating the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that had taken over my mind for years.
And something incredible happened.
By Day 31, I reached my original goal weight — something I truly didn’t think was possible. Then I surpassed it, created a second goal, and reached that by Day 53.
As I write this today, I’m on Day 446 and still maintaining below my second goal weight.
In total, I’ve lost 21.6 pounds and 46½ inches.
But honestly, the biggest transformation isn’t even the weight.
It’s how I feel.
I have energy again. I’m no longer bloated or irritable. I can chase my grandsons around for hours and pick them up without struggling. My joints feel 20 years younger. I can work in the yard and garden for hours without needing Aleve or feeling completely exhausted afterward.
And my confidence has grown exponentially.
One thing Donna said during a Masterclass has stayed with me this entire journey:
“There is nothing that tastes as good as healthy feels.”
That statement is so true.
Today, I fuel my body with nourishing foods, drink half my body weight in water, and move my body every day. I finally understand that taking care of myself isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.
My powerful why is simple:
I am worth it.
I’m worth investing in my health and wellness. I want to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself so I can be an encouragement to my family and friends and continue fully enjoying life.
And now that we’ve learned we’re expecting our first great-grandson in October 2026, that “why” means even more to me.
If you’re feeling discouraged because you’ve tried everything, please don’t give up.
And if you’re thinking about trying this program, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do it.
Fully commit to yourself. Trust the process. Use the tools and support available to you.
Because you are worth it too.
