Tell us about yourself, your story, what you do?
I am Marci Loughmiller, a Fitness and Nutrition Expert, Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Consultant, Motivational Speaker, Business Owner and mother of 2 little boys.
I am passionate about transforming lives because of my life’s story. I have overcome eating disorders through education, become a wife and mother, survived an unfaithful husband and divorce, embraced being a single mom of 2 beautiful boys, created and started my business, educated individuals on how to transform their mental & physical lives and I live every day to it’s fullest.
I have an immense passion for what I do now because of my experiences that taught me how to overcome the obstacles I dealt with. At age 14 I became anorexic and bulimic and by age 18 I realized that my anorexic and bulimic lifestyle had to stop because it just wasn’t worth it. There had to be a better way. I labored intensively to overcome my eating disorder tendencies, but continued to struggle with my weight. The following years I spent feeling tired, sluggish, and overweight, in addition to trying every known fad diet, magic pill, workout program, and quick fix available on the market.
I was fed up with fat! I wanted to change, but I didn’t know how. I felt like I had wasted so much time, money, effort, and emotion on all of the available but unsuccessful products. I then realized the only thing I hadn’t tried was educating myself to understand the human body and how it works. This was my life transformational moment to not only changing my life but others lives as well. Education was my self-empowerment. I studied Nutrition and became a Certified Personal Trainer. Once I applied the knowledge of how to Eat to be a fat burning machine and exercise to maximize my results, the fat began to fall off.
I love teaching people these principles of how to Eat MORE, work out LESS and Achieve MORE results because you know how to turn your body into a fat burning partner. It is empowering to know how to live it and do it with ease and it became my deep passion to teach people how to do this so they weren’t a prisoner to their bodies, food, clothes or closet anymore and how to honor their bodies.
I began working in a gym but quickly learned that my philosophy didn’t align with management’s expectations or a typical trainers’ mentality. I believe in teaching people “how” to get their desired results not merely telling them what exercises to do that day. When I struggled with my weight I didn’t have $1500 a month to spend on a trainer and $400 for a nutritionist. I wanted to teach everyone how to do it for the rest of their lives on their own; so they wouldn’t need my help anymore. I left the gym industry because I was inspired to start my own fitness and nutrition business to help people on a larger scale.
I was inspired to create my business Everlasting Fitness, and product “The Whole Truth About Weight Loss” DVDs and workout program. Through these DVDs I was able to provide all of the nutrition and fitness secrets that would provide lifetime success. .
My life completely changed again when I found out my husband had been unfaithful to me, and I knew I had to make a new life that would support myself and my two boys (4 and 1 years old). I was in a place of devastation. I didn’t know how I could be a business owner and follow my passion, and also make ends meet being a full-time single mom. I picked up a job as a waitress to help cover bills because I felt that was the only option I had to support my children and continue to raise them full-time.
I knew that for things to change, I needed to change. I needed to get back to the Marci that I knew I could be and STAND in my POWER and so the process began. I am now empowered with knowing who I am, my special gifts and talents, and how I can help guide others to health success.
I’ve also had many avenues opened to me that allow me to help people to create change with my hands-on seminars, VIP coaching, motivational speaking, radio shows, and my upcoming products and programs such as a cookbook and CDs for helping empower individuals with knowledge for continued success.
Over the last year I have come to know that I went through my weight struggles, eating disorders, traumatic childhood events and the challenges of becoming a single mother not only to help others but to truly learn how to stand in my own power (not the shadow of another) and to be true to myself and my life purpose. I believe I am empowering and creating lifetime success one person at a time.
What does it take to be an Illuminated Woman?
An Illuminated woman shares her love and light allowing other people to shine which illuminates the planet one person at a time.
Why should every woman you know be at this event?
There is a movement in the universe for women to stand in their power, have a remembrance of their greatness and allow their gifts and talents to come out of hiding. This event is an awakening for women to join together and become more empowered to honor themselves, their light, each other and stand together in creation of a greater world.
What tips do you have to be an Illuminated Woman?
There is a quote I love by Ghandi that I think says it best “Be the change that you want to see in the world.”
What do you do daily to seek Illumination?
Everyday I create illumination in my life by getting up early to take time for me and invest in myself. I do this by waking up with an attitude of gratitude to a divine source for everything in my life. I then write in my creation journal where I write out my affirmations and creations for the day. I follow that up by writing down things I’m grateful for in a gratitude journal. I read or listen to something motivational or educational to teach me a new perspective and try to journal my thoughts or understanding on what I learned. I then get to work out my body in an effective short and sweet workout before my little boys wake up in the morning. This process helps me to be ready for an amazing day where I am in tune with myself, my boys, the universe and able to flow my love and light to all those whom I come in contact with throughout the day.
