SUCCESS STORY

MEET CARLA LOWERY! STOR I ES F ROM THE S I STERHOOD W hen Carla joined our tribe in 2017, she was in a rut with her health and mindset. She’d lost some weight but was struggling with holding herself accountable to keep it off — something we can all relate to! While mired in that funk, Carla came across Danette May on Facebook and decided to take a leap. She joined the sisterhood and stepped onto a new path. Carla signed up for her first 30-day challenge right away, and even though she was afraid to share her photos and measurements at first, she was stunned by her results.

“I completed it feeling so much energy, and I looked at myself and actually saw my own beauty staring me right in the face via my mirror!” she says.

Now, Carla has tackled four Fit Rise challenges. As pleased as she is with her physical results, what impacted her most was Danette’s meditation and mindset training. “I learned that it really is MINDSET that keeps us on course completely,” Carla says. “And baby, all the tools are here! It’s up to you, me, and all of us to use them and create a life, the life you’ve always desired for yourself.” Coming to this realization was a process, and it wasn’t always easy. After that first successful challenge, Carla dove into Danette’s philosophy and the Fit Rise lifestyle. She reached milestone after milestone but eventually lost momentum. “I hit a bit of a roadblock and noticed little by little I was falling back into my old ways and mindsets that no longer served me,” she says. “And you know, I knew it, too. But I felt somewhat helpless and not willing to reach out as much. There were old emotions surfacing, and frankly, I was a bit scared because, after all I had accomplished, I didn’t know how I would be able to deliver my accountability.” Carla applied to become an Ambassador for Fit Rise. She was accepted, and thanks to the other sisters relying on her guidance, she got her accountability back! If you take away one thing from her story, Carla says she’d like it to be the importance of being honest with yourself and holding yourself accountable, even if no one else is watching.

“If ever I find myself being hard on myself or feeling down, I can get a pick- me-up simply by seeing and hearing my tribe sisters’ posts in Fit Rise 365,” she says. “This group of beautiful women is always great support in times of uncertainty.”

Carla, from all of us here on the Danette May team, thank you for sharing your journey. We’re so proud of how far you’ve come!
