I am from a small town of 800 people just outside of Kincardine, Ontario. I met my husband when I was 7 and we have been together since we were 15. This year we will have been married 20 years. We have 2 girls: Kate-Lyn and Brooke. I work as a 911 operator for an ambulance in Mississauga. We are your typical family – 2 kids, a dog, and a cat, balancing life the best we can.
I WAS ALMOST 200 POUNDS IN MY 20S AND AFTER TRYING MANY FAD DIETS AND WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS MY WEIGHT STAYED THE SAME. I REALIZED HARD WORK AND PROPER NUTRITION IS THE ONLY ANSWER. SHORTLY INTO MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY, I FOUND THE BABE CAVE.
