Her Story

In 2017, I had a health scare that resulted in me changing my lifestyle. I wanted to be healthy, eat healthy, and exercise, but I had bad habits that haunted me and my body image of self-hate. So I had to get my mind in the game of what wellness looked like for me at 57 years old. My accountability partner started with her nutrition and lost 5-10 lbs within 3 months. I went straight to physical fitness and gained muscle -- which wasn’t bad, but the scale stressed me out. At this point, I realized that the combination of eating healthier and exercising 5 times a week for an hour was the beginning of my weight loss journey. Plus eating 5 healthy meals a day and drinking lots of water. I had a group of women who joined me, and they changed their lifestyles and got great results too.

That’s how we created the Thick but Fit Crew. 

I had fun. I had more energy. I dropped 4 dress sizes and lost 90 lbs in two years. I realized that the body image that I struggled with soon disappeared and I fell in love with being a Thick but Fit Woman. 

At the time, the TBF Crew was going to different fitness centers that offered Zumba and personal trainers, but we were also spending a lot of money on our health. Those facilities were clean and friendly, but their cookie cutter models were all the same, and they lacked that personal and supportive connection. I decided to create a space for a diverse community that provides emotional, spirit, and physical support for women of all colors, shapes, and sizes.
