Memorable Quotes:

“I actually have no cartilage in my knees. So squatting, bending, stairs, literally anything where the knee moves, it's just bone on bone.”

“Last April, I had a scare and thought I was having a stroke– and my health just kind of kept going downhill from there, on top of injuries they also found some abnormalities in my brain. I didn't really realize until I started with Cut and Conquer how much weight I had actually gained too.”

"I'm still trying to move my body to make everything, brain, body, and everything feel good."

"You don't have to rush it. You're not going to lose 20 pounds overnight."

"You can't lose if you just keep showing up."

“It helps having a community and people who actually listen to you when you're saying, this isn't working, can you help me find something different? And that's why I love working with you guys.”
