Cara lost 96 lbs in 9 months.... 9 MONTHS!!!

Here's what Cara had to say:
.
"The workouts programs and support of an online accountability group saved my life. When I first started my program, I was taking 16 medications for pain, mental health, & high blood pressure. After 8 months, I was able to discontinue those medications, and in just 9 short months I have lost 96 lbs!"
