Need a Life Change? Get Healthy, Get Happy
In today's constantly rushing on-the-go society, it seems nearly impossible to find time to shop and cook healthy meals.

Fast food can make it easier to satisfy your hunger pains, as well as keep you from fully slowing down during your day.

However, now more then ever, becoming knowledgeable about what you're eating is extremely crucial.

In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than one-third (34.9 percent or 78.6 million) U.S. adults are obese.

In Marilyn McKenna's personal experience, she realized she needed to make a change or else her health would be compromised. Since 2007, she has lost 120 pounds and devoted her life to helping others change their health and happiness.

Listen in as McKenna shares her personal weight loss journey which has led her to a happier and healthier life.

Marilyn McKenna In 2007, after being morbidly obese for decades, Marilyn McKenna began her journey into weight loss and fitness. Since then, she has lost 120 pounds and transformed herself into an athlete who runs marathons, competes in triathlons, practices yoga, and participates in a wide variety of athletic pursuits.

Marilyn received her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington. There she met Rob McKenna, to whom she has been married for more than 28 years. During her husband's career as an elected official on the King County (Seattle) Council and as Washington State's attorney general, Marilyn was a very public political spouse who was hiding a very private pain.

Now, she is a passionate advocate for wellness, committed to helping others who want to transform their lives and the lives of their families through healthy eating and physical activity. She and her husband currently reside in Bellevue, Washington. They have raised four children, who of course never eat anything that's bad for them.
