Tawnya Andrews Before

My name is Tawnya Andrews. I am 41 and live in Lakewood, WA. I have been up and down with my struggle with weight all my life. I have spent thousands of dollars on different weight loss programs. Oh sure, I got the results I wanted- for a “minute” and the attention that goes with it. But I always gained it back and more.

What was always missing for me was lack of proper weight loss coaching to tell me that I needed to heal the deeper issues beyond the weight. I needed to address my self image in order to RELEASE the weight and keep it off. With The Healthy Edge weight loss coaches, I had HUGE revelations when I learned and accepted that it wasn’t my fault. I learned about insulin resistance and how it can make it difficult to lose the weight.

I was relieved when I realized that this is NOT a diet, or a FAD. It’s a healthy lifestyle… and releasing weight is the by-product! There’s NOTHING out there like The Healthy Edge!

Tawnya Andrews After

I started this program in January 2010 at a weight of 239.0 and a size 20. I had NO IDEA what I was in for! I was at a point where I was just tired of trying. I did not want to lose the weight, only for it to come back AGAIN. As of June 2010 I have released 23 pounds and just recently slipped into a size 16! Slow and steady progress helped me keep it off.

My energy and outlook in life is FABULOUS! Every step of my journey through The Healthy Edge has been valuable. Emotionally, this has been quite a ride! I have discovered that I have the DESIRE to move FORWARD into the rest of my life with a healthy MINDSET. That no matter how I am feeling I can easily step back into healthy choices for my life.

THE CYCLE HAS BEEN BROKEN! IT’S TIME TO LIVE!

I LOVE THE HEALTHY EDGE!

Congratulations to you Tawnya. I have been struggling with being 120+ lbs overweight for the past too many years now, and I know how hard it is. I haven't even brought myself up to make the move to lose. I know all the "stuff" and buy all the right groceries to stock my frig week after week, but mentally~~~it is a huge struggle for me to accomplish any good and I don't understand why. I think it is great that you have and are doing so well. Huge kudos to you for working so hard at it!!

Good for you, Tawnya! Slow and steady wins the race! Since this is a lifestyle rather than a diet you'll be able to reach your goals and still keep moving forward in your health journey! Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us!
