Hello my name is Jani (pronounced johnny) and I have just started my journey on 4/22/15. I am 24 years old and very overweight. I had open heart surgery for a congenital disease at the age of 17 and had absolutely no symptoms. I used to walk 2+ miles a day to see my girlfriend and I considered myself pretty healthy at between 140-150 lbs. After my surgery I was put on bedrest and got used to being inactive. I also got my drivers license so no need to walk anymore, right? I started working as a CNA 2nd shift, eating late and not doing any form of exercise. Well within a year I gained over 60lbs. I knew that I was getting bigger but I continued to make excuses about how I had the surgery and job to blame. Fast forward to now and I have gained over 100 lbs. I have arthritis in both knees and my lower back and I have bursitis in my hips and shoulders. This is all due to my weight gain. Luckily my cardiologist says my heart is healthy and he encourages my exercising. After finally refusing to accept the number on the scale I decided to make a change for me. I decided that I needed to become healthier and have chosen to use beachbody for my journey. Follow me so that we can encourage each other. Whether you are just starting out or have been on your journey for a while, I would love to become friends and help each other get to our destinations. A better me!! Whether you are using shakeology, protein powders, working out at home or in the gym, flexible dieting or eating clean. We are all part of one big FIT FAMILY!!!
