Allison found that trendy diet and exercise programs didn’t work for her, but she didn’t let that stop her from finding the weight loss solution that did work for her. Neither should you.

In October of 2000 Allison had weight loss surgery (WLS) and has successfully maintained a 120-pound weight loss. Allison’s success changed her life and prepared her to become the best-selling author/editor behind the God Allows U-Turns anthology and the acclaimed Setting Boundaries series. Today, she has written and/or compiled over 26 books—all published by major Christian inspirational publishers.

However, Allison is quick to say that WLS wasn’t the key to losing weight or maintaining her 120 pound weight loss.
