I wanted to share some great news with my Masterskya family. I have been diabetic for 17 years and at my highest weight I was obese coming in at 240 lbs. Currently, I am 156 lbs. and look like I have the body of a swimmer LOL. I really wanted to change my life and health in spite of what my doctors said. They claimed that it would be nearly impossible to reverse my diabetes and that even if I managed to do so, my organs would be severely damaged.

They ended up being completely wrong!

I found out on the 24th of August that I am no longer diabetic and I will no longer need medication. I lost roughly 80 lbs in the past 3 years; 50 of those pounds I lost on the mats at Masterskya. Lately, a lot of you have been coming up to me and telling me I look great and this inspired me to go even further in improving myself. I especially want to thank the students/trainers in making Masterskya a great school and my thanks cannot be extended far enough! Lets be kinder to each other and point out the positives in on another. You never know what may happen!
