HI, I'M Peri

I'm a weight loss and body transformation coach with over 10 years of experience.

I started PeriFitFoodie over 7 years ago because I know exactly what it's like to struggle with losing weight, shedding fat, and toning — even when you feel like you're really trying.

Now I help driven women finally get out of that cycle… for good.

Even though I've built my dream body at nearly 40 years old after losing 40 lbs naturally…

my body wasn't always like this

I struggled for years before I found a way to actually lose the weight, tone up, and maintain my results. And not just for a few months, but for good. Here’s my story, and how it can help you too.

MY REAL JOURNEY

I KNOW BALL

STARTING POINT

I went from “skinny fat” with pencil legs and a pancake butt…

THE HARD STRUGGLE

To creeping weight gain (and my heaviest) after a busy period in life, health struggles, and multiple surgeries…

THE BREAKTHROUGH

To losing 40 lbs naturally, dropping 3 pant sizes, building 6-pack abs, and qualifying for Nationals in my first NPC Fit Model Bodybuilding competition

In my 20s…

I spent most of my twenties (and even into my early thirties) trying every fad diet, fitness challenge, and workout program I could find.

I cut carbs, tried calorie deficits, cut out alcohol, eliminated sugar, ate whole foods, and counted my macros. I even tried diets where I ate the same thing every single day for weeks (like WTF).

I did bootcamps and fitness challenges, ran two half marathons, and taught and took fitness classes for 8 years. But no matter what I tried, none of it changed my body the way I wanted it to.

I was a healthy, fit person… but I just didn't look like one.

In 2019, I launched PeriFitFoodie

After discovering the power of counting macros, strength training, and strategic cardio, I lost 12 lbs, shed fat, and toned in ways I'd never achieved before.

So in December of 2019, after earning my Nutrition Coach certification, I launched PeriFitFoodie coaching to help others do the same.

My programs started as 6-week calorie deficit challenges (some lasting a full 3-4 months) — all built around three pillars — Meals, Movement, and Mindset.

I went on to support clients through a global pandemic, earned my Personal Trainer certification, and kept investing in my craft — one client transformation at a time.

In 2023, I launched Body Transformation Blueprint

(amongst creeping weight gain & hitting my heaviest)

After years of data and hundreds of client transformations, I kept fine-tuning my strategy for weight loss, fat loss, muscle growth, and toning — and I leaned even further into the power of metabolism and muscle.

So in 2023, I launched my flagship program — Body Transformation Blueprint — which birthed the four pillars: Metabolism, Meals, Movement, and Mindset.

But here's the surprising part… It happened alongside the busiest, hardest chapter of my life to date, and I was simultaneously the heaviest I'd ever been (153 lbs). I was struggling with injuries, mold toxicity, and recovering from multiple surgeries that took a real toll.

I invested in myself — with time, energy, and resources — to turn things around… but for good this time.

I lost 40 lbs naturally & qualified for Nationals

I implemented a custom 360-degree strategy that optimized my Metabolism, Meals, Movement, and Mindset so I could not only lose weight and shed fat, but repair and boost my metabolism so I could eat like a queen and enjoy freedom in my life without worrying about yo-yoing.

The Results:

  • I lost 40 lbs naturally — 153 lbs down to 113 lbs

  • I dropped 3 pant sizes — from a 6/8 to a 0

  • I built 6-pack abs at 38 years old (while eating dessert every night)

  • Qualified for Nationals in my first NPC Fit Model bodybuilding competition placing 4 times (2nd True Notice, 4th Novice, 2nd Masters 35+, 2nd Open Class B)

  • And now, I'm qualified to compete for my PRO CARD
