About Tamara Adams
"In the next year I want to bring sexy back. I want to lose 100 pounds and tone, breathe, sleep, and live better."

I’m in the process of divorcing corporate America and kicking my marketing and events planning business into full gear. My schedule is crazy lately, but now that I work for myself, it will be easier to start a workout regimen.

My Story

Inch by inch I’ve rewarded myself with too many sweet treats and no exercise and am now I’m 100 pounds over my desired weight. I'm tired of all the yo-yo diets—the cabbage, the lemon teas, drastically cutting calories—when I start eating again I gain two or three times the weight back. I just want to be me again. The love, warmth, and smile is still there, I'd just rather be half the woman on the outside.

This year health is No. 1 on my list. I know so many of my health issues can be attributed to my stressful schedule and weight gain: I suffer from pain in my back and knees, respiratory illnesses, and sleep apnea [when you temporarily stop breathing multiple times during sleep].
