When Gabi Rose’s dress size ballooned to a size 26 she knew she had to take drastic action. Battling morbid obesity for over 12 years, she suffered from asthma, back and hip pain, hernias, rosacea and migraines. But her biggest fear was that her four children and husband’s health were also at risk because of her unhealthy lifestyle.
After a near death experience, Gabi was determined to become a role model to her children and husband. That determination, dedication and discipline led her to a dramatic 130 pound weight loss! Through proper nutritional counseling, exercise and lifestyle change, she helped her husband and kids get healthy too.
