I began working out with James Baldwin, March 2013 at Living Stones Temple in the Fitness Ministry. So to date, that is right at 18 months of training. I was 170lbs when I gave birth to my second & last child in 2001. At March 2013, I had gotten up to my heaviest weight of 175.6 lbs. I was so in denial. I remember having gone to try on new pants. When none of them fit, I left the store, disgusted saying “They shrunk a 10”… It took me 3 weeks to conclude that I had gained weight! Well, I am so happy to report that my lowest recorded weight training with DSB has been 138.8 lbs. That’s right, -36.8 lbs. I like to say over 37 pounds lost because I am not done! I’m going to run on and see what the end’s going be.
