At Age 46, I was 5’7 and 237 Pounds.
If you’d told me I’d be hiking the Sugarloaf Mountain Trail in Boulder in 6 months, I wouldn’t have believed you.
But I did that yesterday!
When my husband and I were younger, we planned to move to Boulder.
We love the great outdoors and had always dreamed of living so close to hiking trails that we could go every weekend!
But I ruined our plans.

After giving birth to three beautiful children, each one added around 20 pounds to my frame. And with every year that passed, I felt more exhausted… and less like me.
The mirror became my enemy. I avoided photos. I avoided people. I felt shame. And I hated the reflection staring back.
I loved food — maybe too much. And at 46, eating “healthy” wasn’t exactly at the top of my list. Even my grandchildren stopped asking me to play — because I couldn’t keep up.
My friends? They stopped inviting me on outings — I could barely walk 20 steps without running out of breath.
And my husband? He still went hiking… alone. Because I needed help just getting back to the car.
But what hurt the most? Was the look in his eyes. He never said anything, but I knew… I wasn’t the woman he married anymore.
Then everything changed…

One day, while sitting on a park bench, a friend called to say she’d dropped three dress sizes using something she called the “Purple Peel Exploit.” I was skeptical.
But then I saw a woman my age on social media who lost over 100 pounds with the same exact method. I thought, “Why not me?”
Still, I wanted to be safe — so I booked a video call with my doctor. He reviewed it and said it looked like a great option to try. And thank goodness I did.

- My waist shrunk
- The scary number on the scale dropped
- My energy came back
- I fit into jeans from before my first baby
- And I was actually hungrier — but still losing fat!

The wildest part? I didn’t have to give up my favorite foods.
All thanks to this simple “Purple Peel Exploit.”
I’m no longer on the sidelines while life passes me by. I’m hiking again. I laugh more. I move. I live more.
When I stay home now, it’s by choice — because I want to enjoy quiet time with my husband… not because I’m too tired or embarrassed to go out.
Today, I’m not just lighter — I’m happier, healthier, and finally in love with life again.
