About Me


Hello! My name is Laura Faulkner.  I have 9 children and two dogs.  We live a wild and crazy life in the beautiful Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C. I earned a bachelor's degree in English and so naturally my favorite hobbies are reading and writing, but I am also a member of local toastmasters club and enjoy public speaking and travel.

I  run a website (Makessense.com) and two other blogs. One on the power of thankfulness in our lives (thankfulforthisday.com) The second explores the wonderful world of motherhood (makessensemom.com).  I would love to hear your feedback on them.

I am an independent coach for team beach body and am passionate about helping others improve their fitness and health. My websites can be found at www.beachbodycoach.com/fitnessmamax9 and www.myshakeology.com/fitnessmamax9. I am also an independent consultant for Mary Kay (www.marykay.com/laurafaulkner)

My personal weight loss journey was a thrilling and empowering, but often painful and discouraging process. There are no quick fixes. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work to obtain the desired results, but it's so worth it in the end if you stick with it. I learned a thing or two along the way that I hope to share with others, but I also hope to learn from you as well. Please feel free to send me your success stories, questions or tips that you have found to be helpful and I will try where possible to include them on the page. Let's help each other to succeed and stay motivated so that we can all access our fullest potential for the rest of our lives!
