From Mrs. Boston:
Ok. Let’s begin…. My story like many has been an entire evolutionary experience to become who I am today. WISER! In 2010 I was 222 lbs overweight, drug and alcohol abuser and had no clue what peace and happiness was. I thought peace and happiness came from materialistic things, people and yes, I thought if I had the body of my dreams I would be satisfied. Tisk Tisk for me thinking that…. The journey began with my first drastic weight loss in 2010 where I went from 222 lbs to 155 lbs in 9 months. Whoa! I was not happy! Yes. The weight was off but internally I was not at peace. Something was missing. … The weight creeped back up. By 2012 I had been juggling to stay healthy and drug free. By 2013 when I moved away to Florida my weight got back up to 215 lbs and I started using again….. Dang! Did I give up? Yep! Did I find myself? Yep! Sure did. I found peace by going WITHIN! I started to understand that the perfect body, material things and people didn’t control my peace. I DO! My body is my body. As they say, I am a spiritual being having a human experience. If having the “perfect shape” is your goal please think again… It’s about the Mind.Body&Spirit. Not just body, guys. 100% of your life’s journey is MENTAL!

I [Rashidat] have lost over 60 lbs through my journey and William 75 lbs. However, we wouldn’t say weight was/is a goal. We want to push our bodies to the ultimate physical condition and whatever that weight may be at that time is what it will be.
