Kaitlyn O. hasn’t always been the way we see her today.

When she was a young child, she struggled with obesity. She weighed in at 116 lbs when she was just 6 years old. Despite her parents trying to limit her intake and trying to teach her to make healthy choices, she was sneaking food, even going to the neighbors for sweet treats.

Her blood work at 6 years old was terrible!!! She was bordering on Type 2 Diabetes and High Cholesterol.

She took it upon herself to start walking the dog for exercise, which turned into a jog. At 9 years old, she ran her first 5k marathon. She has continued to excel in sports and is now a distance runner and plays softball.

She began slipping in school though shortly after moving to Tennessee from her home in Florida. She was 13 and had never lived anywhere else. She was easily distracted and her grades showed this.

By late October 2011, her mom came home with X2O and FocusUP, totally excited about it! Kaitlyn was reluctant to try it at first, but finally gave in.

That day she noticed a difference in her focus at school. Since then her grades have risen from a B-C average to straight A’s! At home she is more pleasant and has noticed she is more disciplined in training for the Knoxville Half Marathon coming up in April.

FocusUP has made a huge impact in this young woman’s life! She just signed up with Xooma Worldwide, and is now a 16-year old business woman! Way to go Kaitlyn!!!
