I’m Jenny, and I’m 42 years young! Here’s how an ancient secret tea recipe helped me drop 6 dress sizes in just 8 months. I’d like to share a personal story that I know will resonate with you… My first vivid memory of being told I was overweight was at a doctor’s office when I was 14. I had a doctor who spoke angrily at Mom in front of me, telling her that she had failed as a mother for letting me get this big. And that I needed to go on a diet immediately. I could not blame Mom entirely for my weight gain. Dad left us both when I was 11. With mom having to work long hours to support us, meals came from fast food joints and in the form of tv dinners. I never did lose weight and continued the struggle well into adulthood. As an adult, the extra weight made me sick, frequently experiencing symptoms that include: knee, back and joint pains prolonged dull headaches difficulty concentrating waking up feeling tired even after sleeping 8 hours easily getting upset and feeling moody D...

My name is Sharon Munroe. And I’m 43 years young!   I’d like to share a personal story that I know will resonate with you… I was always one of the cool girls in school. I was captain of the cheerleading squad and was homecoming queen my senior year. What’s more, I was one of those ‘skinny’ girls you love to hate. I was able to eat anything I wanted and still kept to a size 2. Heck, I didn’t even have to workout to keep my firm and toned body shape. I used to chalk up my slimming figure to genetics. After college, I married my high school sweetheart, Tyler. We backpacked through Europe for a year and then settled in St Louis with full-time jobs.

I had gained 60 pounds while pregnant with Aiden. And no matter what I did after giving birth, I had not been able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. As time went on, the ...
