Hi everyone! 🙂

We are so happy you made it this far! Here is a little video of what types of things to share with us when you introduce yourself. Can’t wait to meet YOU!

 

[Elizabeth – Happy Healthy Caregiver]

Hi Alex & Ashley,

It’s Elizabeth. You guys know me well but others on here don’t. I’ve been working with Alex & Ashley for over 2 years now. My personal health goal is to achieve and maintain 20% body fat.

I live in Marietta, GA. I’m over 40, married for 20 years, and mom of two high schoolers. I work full time as an IT Product Manager. I’m also a caregiver for my 78 year old mom. Up until recently my husband and I were primary caregivers for one or more of our parents for the past 5 years. We are officially in ‘the sandwich generation’. With Ashley’s encouragement and support, I started my own business called Happy Healthy Caregiver (http://happyhealthycaregiver.com). My passion is helping overwhelmed caregivers create balance and live happier and healthier lives.

I enjoy working out and pushing myself physically. I struggle most with the nutrition. I’ve tried many diets in my adult life and I’m fed up with this approach. I’ve made strides toward better nutrition being a part of my lifestyle but still learning and growing in this area. I look forward to connecting with everyone in this group.

Hi, Everyone!

I’m Jazmyne and I live in the Decatur, GA area. I’m currently a Realtor (I love helping families find homes!) and dibble and dabble in event planning. My goals include continuing to develop a healthier lifestyle (that I enjoy) and tone.

Hi everyone! I’m Kris. My goal is to get below 25% body fat by my 30th HS reunion on October 8th!! I’m not far. I started at 42% and am at 28% now. Amazing though – I’ve only lost 15lbs…I had no idea that fat to muscle ratio makes a difference – but it DOES.

I’ve been working with Alex and Ashley for over 2 years now to take control of my diabetes. The Dr says I have type 1 and a half?! I’m insulin dependent since having a child 18 years ago. I’ve gotten off one type 2 drug and have decreased my insulin just a little.

I’m 47, mother of an 18yr old girl, married for 25yrs. My family respects my challenge, but doesn’t follow my nutritional guidelines. I find it extremely challenging to find other health minded individuals but they’re out there…

I’m also a freelance web developer and I sit in front of a computer most of the time. I work from home so I can get out and walk with our dog daily.
