Megan Shtab lost 165lbs and now works as a transformation coach helping women lose 50-100lbs!
Her lightbulb moment happened at Disney World in 2018.
Even at one of the most size-inclusive places on earth, she struggled.
She had trouble getting in and out of rides, the lap bars didn't fit well, she needed constant walking breaks, and at one point, she took my shoes off in the middle of Epcot because her feet were so swollen.
She felt embarrassed and defeated. But she also knew something had to change.
