I am grateful to see another year and look better now than I did in my 30s. This is only the beginning! My body will look better tomorrow, and I will keep progressing. I want to be a fitness model, and I’m looking at things to do that I never imagined. The impact I have made on others motivates me. Even though I did the work - I still feel my body and say to myself, “Is this me?” What motivates me is being able to help someone else get to where they want to be on their weight-loss journey. TM: I am currently working toward my certification as a group fitness instructor. OXYGEN: How do you stay motivated and on track? The words from my children and the words from all the people who responded to my weight loss with excitement (sending me messages that they are now going to the gym because of me) encourage me. Being a mother of two, I wanted my kids to know there is nothing impossible. TM: Stick to your goals and never give up! I did the work because I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. OXYGEN: What would you impart on someone reading about your journey? She kept saying, “Keep working - looking good but you can look better.” She made sure to FaceTime me and call to check on me often - no matter what, she always responded when I needed her! It was a pleasure to have her as a coach and fitness mentor. She never sugarcoated where I needed to be, but she never made me feel like I couldn’t do it. She never made me feel like I was fat, and she was so encouraging and motivational. She has not only encouraged me physically but mentally, as well. TM: Renée Jones is my coach and now longtime friend. OXYGEN: What impact has Renée Jones had on your training and results? This workout and exercise program has helped me lose 54 pounds. I do not eat beef or pork, so my meals are strict - chicken breast, tilapia or ground turkey, veggies, sweet potatoes, rice, avocado and unsalted almonds. I eat five to six times a day and drink 2 gallons of water. I go to the gym in the morning for an hour of cardio, then I go back in the evening for another hour of cardio and two or three hours of strength training afterward.
TM: I currently work out seven days a week, unless my body tells me different. OXYGEN: What is your current training/nutrition regimen? How has this helped you? I reached out to her and she said, “You look good, but I want you to look amazing.” From there, I asked her to coach me and help me because I wanted to do a bodybuilding show. TM: I was on social media and always saw Renée Jones ( - she looked really good and was always promoting fitness and working out. Not only was it a wake-up call, but when I saw the pictures, I knew it was time for a change. TM: I was in a wedding, and I went to try on the dress and the lady told me I needed a size 14. While traveling, I was eating exotic foods and not working out. I use to work out when I was in the military, but when I got out, I just let life pass me by. I would pray that if I ever had a heart attack, I wouldn’t be alone. OXYGEN: Have you had any significant life experiences that set you down that path? I always was a shapely woman and had curves, so it wasn’t a priority to lose the weight at first. I never paid attention to my weight and just bought new clothes that fit nice. I was always on the go, not realizing how much weight I was gaining because people always told me I looked good. I was always eating out, not working out and depressed from being away from my children while deployed overseas. Tia Myers: I was a contractor and traveled overseas with multiple companies. OXYGEN: What was your life like before your transformation? Occupation: Owner and CEO of Milvetsource
