M.J. Dougherty (Winter of 2015) – In July of 2014, M.J. was ecstatic when she was offered an opportunity at USLI. She took this new beginning to jumpstart her healthy lifestyle by making small changes to her eating habits and by joining the fitness center. Each morning at 5:55 a.m. you are guaranteed to find her outside of Slainte eagerly waiting to take on her workout. With hard work, dedication and what she refers to as “finishing grace” she has lost over 35 lbs., is a 2015 Bulldog Challenger finisher and is fitter and stronger than she’s ever been. With her love for activity she also just completed a hike of the Grand Canyon. M.J. is continuously proving there is no mountain she can’t climb!
