Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Carla, and I’m excited to share that I recently became a Certified Coach with FASTer Way to Fat Loss.
My health journey has evolved significantly over the years. My husband and I completed six half marathons together. While I never truly loved the intense training, I cherished the sense of accomplishment on race day, which kept us committed for several years. Eventually, we entered a new season of life where that level of time commitment was no longer sustainable.
For a long time, my habits were inconsistent. I often ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, leading to weight fluctuations. Some days included a long run followed by fast food; other times, I found myself overeating and then trying to “cancel it out” with excessive exercise. I later believed that strict calorie tracking and staying in a constant deficit would solve everything. However, once I stopped, the weight returned, and the cycle became exhausting.
Looking back, my relationship with food and exercise wasn’t always healthy—it was sometimes all-consuming. Today, I remain mindful of maintaining balance and a positive mindset around both.
In 2023, I discovered barre, and that’s when things truly began to shift. Barre taught me the value of consistency, challenge, and community. It strengthened me in more ways than one, but over time, I felt ready for a new challenge. I didn’t experience significant results until I also addressed my nutrition. I began the Whole30 program, and its whole-food approach helped me understand how my body responds to different foods. After a year of eating this way, I had more energy than I did in my twenties, and my allergies and asthma improved significantly. Although I lost a substantial amount of weight, much of it was muscle, and I realized this approach wasn’t ideal for long-term health and longevity.
In January 2025, I joined FASTer Way to Fat Loss and committed to a full year as a client. The program provided the structure I needed and helped me approach nutrition and fitness in a balanced and sustainable way. It’s a flexible program that works for both busy stay-at-home moms and working moms alike.
Now that I’m 40, my focus has shifted. Thanks to FASTer Way, I’m no longer chasing quick fixes. Instead, I prioritize longevity—fueling my body well, building strength, supporting my hormones, and creating sustainable habits.
Through this journey, I’ve become increasingly aware that many women are struggling with their health. I truly believe the Lord has placed a desire in my heart to serve and support women as they pursue wellness.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for following my page. I’m grateful to have you here!
