I am 44 years old as of September 25 2015. I've been disabled since age 36. I have 6 children Jasmine, James Jr, Sari, Gianna, Niko and little Ryan. I can't imagine living a day without them. I am a Mom & a Dad to all my children. I'm very blessed to have all my children with the love & support from my Mom Suzanne DePaolo, my Aunt Dorothy Wattson and my Beautiful Fiance Sara Jacobson. I'm a first responder from 9/11. I endured a diabetic coma back on May 28th, 2013 weighing 409lbs. When I recieved my results I was shocked to hear the news. I had the lungs of a 92 year old. For being a first rsponder of 9/11, and a tier 4... I was only given 2 years to live, especially with the way things were going.

So, I started my diet & working out on June 1st 2013. 6 Months later, my weight loss was 144 lbs in just 6 months. I lost 107 lbs in 119 days which broke my own world Record. Everything was done naturally without surgery. My determination & combination of will power made it possible. My family is my support group, which wills my inspiration to stay alive and they keep me going.

 

Since this happend I am very blessed to be a proud Catholic, with the lord in my life. I have accomplished and exceeded my weight loss goals, and want to help inspire others to keep going..


Long story short I weight 427.6 lbs as of 1-25-2016 due to depression, being sick from 9-11 dealing with prednisone, and life's challenges. However I am well on my way to my 2016 - 90 Day Challenge with Retro Fitness Trainer Jule Cook in Stroudsburg, PA. Everyone watched me lose weight once, watch me do it again.
