Andrea Marsh

My name is Andrea Marsh and I am a single mother of a 4 year old boy named Owen. Before becoming a mother I was in great shape. I worked out several hours a day and was even doing some fitness modelling.

In January of 2009 I found out that I was pregnant with my son. It was a complete shock to both me and Owen's father. Neither of us were in a place where we wanted children, but I had already fallen in love with the little peanut growing inside of me and decided that I would continue with the pregnancy. Owen's father did not want to be a father and we stopped all communication when I was 5 months pregnant.

The pregnancy was very hard on me. I gained 65 pounds and struggled with emotions and the realization that parenting was going to be a challenge - especially as a single mom.

When Owen was born, I was determined to get back into shape. Over the past 4 years I worked out, got a personal trainer and tried to make healthy food choices. Although its been hard to juggle work (I work as an ER Trauma nurse) being a single mom and personal time, I have lost the 65 pounds I gained. I became inspired to help others and got certified as a personal Trainer and did my Insanity and PiYo Instructor Certifications. I am proud of what I have accomplished and look forward to helping others achieve their weight loss goals.
