Welcome to my blog!

 Hello! My name is Melissa Adams & I am an independent health coach for Take Shape For Life.  I love helping others reach their goals through coaching, education, & support.  Take Shape for Life allowed me to lose all my excess weight the safest & fastest way possible, while still allowing me to have quality time with my family.  It is a program that has taught me how to get & stay healthy.  I lost about 75lbs in 7 months and went from a size 16 to a size 4.  I am almost 20 lbs smaller than when I got married J.

What is Take Shape for Life?

Take Shape for Life begins with a nutrition plan using Medifast products & lean & green meals to help you reach a healthy weight.  After reaching your healthy BMI the Take Shape for Life program helps you transition from Medifast meals to regular foods that will help you maintain your healthy weight throughout your life.

My Story 

     Uncomfortable & embarrassed are the best words to describe how I felt before I lost weight using Take Shape for Life.   I was embarrassed to be in any pictures & would shyly hide from cameras.  I was embarrassed to go shopping & have to choose clothing that after hours of looking just looked “ok” on me.  I was embarrassed every time I met someone that knew me before I gained.  I was uncomfortable in my body, it wasn’t who I am & I felt trapped in my own “fat suit.”  Before gaining weight I was social & enjoyed being outgoing.  When I was overweight I became more shy and introverted.  I was not enjoying life, & life should definitely be enjoyed!   I am no longer embarrassed when seeing old friends, I LOVE clothes shopping again, I’m more outgoing & energetic, & I am happy with every picture I am in. 

     I love being able to help others become healthy & reach their goals.  Bad health, including excess weight, can weigh you down & keep you from activities that you should be able to enjoy…Life should be enjoyed, let’s work together to help you enjoy yours more fully!  Become your own success story.
