I was always a bigger girl growing up, and had a problem with carbs like chocolate and ice cream, but was active in every sport possible, even going on to be the first college player to play both soccer and basketball! But once all that ended, I got married and started practicing pharmacy. Then later as a mom of 2 kids and then my third pregnancy at 35, I had let food get the best of me. My highest weight was 265 and I was always tired, achy, swollen, had acne, asthma and signs of arthritis (what I now call Carb Knee!) I was going back to work when my daughter was 9 months old but was frustrated with pharmacy, when I heard about Ideal Protein. I called the Senior Business Advisor for our area, Carol Schmick, and wanted to meet to learn more. I met with her on April 20th and had Ideal Protein up and running in my pharmacy in 10 days. I knew from that first meeting that this is what I was meant to do both personally and professionally! I then lost over 100 lbs and am comfortable at my new weight of 150lbs!
