A few weeks ago I was contacted by a writer from Globe Magazine asking me if I would be interested in having my weight loss story featured in the weight loss issue of their magazine. I was totally shocked and was very curious about how they had heard about me. It turns out that they found me through the Yoga Source. The writer, Lynn, is a friend of Pam Leal who is a flow teacher at The Source. Lynn picked up on of the flyers about the "Just My Size" yoga class and contacted me about my story. I just got an email from Lynn saying that my issue of Globe will hit the stands on Wednesday. Wow!
I really am very excited about being featured as a weight loss success story but also as a yoga teacher. I am very proud of my new teaching career which has really taken off recently. I am teaching 2 group classes and privates in my home studio, 2 classes at Eagle Trace County Club and 2 classes at The Yoga Source. I also sub whenever I am called upon which is fairly often. I have students that come every week and sometimes twice a week. I feel very good about helping people to become more mindful and grounded.
A long time ago Richard Simmons called me and asked me if he could show my before and after pictures and call me from the QVC studios. The next thing I knew I was on QVC talking to Richard. Many years later I was featured as a success story on Richard's website. Not long after that I found myself at Slimmons in front of a large group of people telling them how I was able to lose my weight in "Meet The Pros". That was about 6 years ago and things have been pretty quiet on the weight loss front. Now, I will be featured in a national magazine. I wonder what will happen from it. Yeah, I am excited. :)

Congratulations on your success. I believe, from what I have seen, that it is very difficult to keep the weight off after the loss. It might, in fact be even harder than the loss itself. Best wishes on your journey.
You deserve this recognition more than anybody I know. I am so happy that you are finally making your mark publicly in a big way! I love you!!!!!
