The freezing Dakota winters made it easy to overlook my weight, but the warmer summers pushed me to make a change. 

After seeing several doctors, I found out that I had high blood pressure and cholesterol.

But, these were the consequences of being overweight, not the cause of the extra pounds piling up.

All the tests felt like a waste of money when one doctor told me "that's what happens when you get older". But as it turns out, I was wrong.

No matter how many more excuses I heard, I never stopped feeling miserable and depressed.

In North Dakota I looked after our home while my husband was always busy working.

We didn’t have much of a social life because he had a lot of work meetings and events to attend.

Everything changed when we moved to Florida and he discovered his newfound free time and love for life!

He knew a lot of old work colleagues that had retired in the area too.

He really enjoyed the beaches, but for me it was too embarrassing to even think about wearing a bikini.

I couldn't even relax around our private pool, what would my husband think when he got home?

What he'd think about his wife in comparison to all the other half-my-size women in Florida.

I was feeling hopeless,..

That’s when a journey started in an unlikely place: a trip to the hair salon.

I was getting my hair colored, and I heard a woman talking about her transformation.

She told me about a method she does every morning, and I wanted to ask her more about it.

She said it's called her new ‘Simple Tropical Loophole’.

She never pushed it on me, no judgement, no hype… just more like...

“hey.. you should check it out, if you like I will send you the video that shows you exactly how"

I was like, hell yes! Send me the video, what have I got to lose!

Within the first minute of watching the video I can honestly say I was hooked. I couldn't wait for it to end so I could implement what it taught.

Now it seems like, I was at the right place at the right time.

I went to get a haircut and that helped me and my husband change our

lifestyle.

I did not really know what it was, and honestly I could care less at that point.

All I wanted to know was how it could help me.

Could it fixed all my problems?

After all, this isn't the retirement I dreamt of...

Being surrounded by golden beaches that I can't enjoy.

I Sat at home alone every day, struck with jealousy because I refused to join him and his friends.

Up to that point all I knew was failed diets, useless doctors and health experts advice, feeling depressed and hopeless.

But then it was like a switch had been flicked.

My gut began to shrink once I started implementing this daily evening routine.

I even went to see a doctor again and found out it had reduced my blood pressure and cholesterol down!
