Shenelle

Hey, I’m Shenelle. I topped the scales at 298 pounds before I took the plunge and got the sleeve in April 2022. Little did I know that decision would light a fire under me—not just to get my physical health on track, but to face the mental side of things too, especially as a food addict. Oh, and did I mention I’m a recovered alcoholic and drug addict? It took me decades to figure out that I was eating the same way I used to drink—recklessly, with no caution to the wind.

I’ve also realized that the Western diet? Yeah, it’s not made for people like me. It’s a toxic minefield of bad habits waiting to happen. That’s why I’m here—to help you navigate this messy world without falling into the same traps. And let’s be clear: I don’t sugarcoat things. Ever. I’m always going to be honest and straightforward with you, because that’s what you deserve.

It’s a blessing to help as many people as we do, and I’ll show up for you in ways you might not be able to show up for yourself just yet. Together, we’ll kick the old habits to the curb and build something real.

Danaye

Hey, I’m Danaye, and let's just say I spent most of my life as the “before” picture. But in 2023, I decided I was done with that storyline. On April 27th, I made my way to EOC and got myself a brand-new VSG (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, if you're fancy with it). Highest weight? 317 pounds. Surgery weight? 240 pounds. Current weight? A cool 149. Yeah, I’m feeling pretty unstoppable.

As if that wasn’t enough, I figured, “Why not start running too?” So in March 2023, I laced up my shoes and hit the pavement. Now, I’ve got a few half marathons under my belt and am training for my second full marathon. Apparently, I really like to run—who knew?

By day, I’m an EMT-IV Tech, saving lives, but I’ve found a whole new level of joy in helping others crush their bariatric and fitness goals. Whether it's losing weight or making running a thing (trust me, if I can do it, so can you), I’m here to help you kick those goals in the teeth and get moving.

Nicole

Hey, I’m Nicole. My journey started at 317 pounds, and it wasn’t until I faced a few harsh realities that I realized something had to change. As someone who works in hospice, I saw people leaving this world every day, and after a hard loss in my family, I tried to get life insurance. When I was denied due to my "build," it hit me hard just how unhealthy I was and how at risk I had become with all the co-morbidities I was facing. The thought of leaving my kids because of the choices I was making scared me to my core.

That’s when I realized—I had a food addiction. Joining this community helped me finally see that, and it was comforting to know that others understood me. Now, I’m on the other side, helping people like you realize your worth, break free from unhealthy patterns, and start living the life you deserve.
