About the Author

Alicia Ash is a Motivational Speaker and Author of the new self-improvement book, “I Dropped 142 lbs in a Year and Lost 220 lbs in a Day.” Born Alicia Lannette in Dothan,Alabama, Ash has been a featured guest on numerous television and radio shows, most notably the “Oprah Winfrey Show”, and has penned expositions in the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper, Columbus Times newspaper and Women World Magazine on the affects of weight gain and loss and, its impact on self, family, faith and finances. Prior to her journey of healthy living, Alicia suffered three strokes in a years’ time frame, as well as bouts of depression . It was after one of her strokes when doctors informed her that she was borderline Diabetic and that a drastic change in her eating habits and lifestyle were imperative to her continuing to live. It was after hearing that dreadful report that Alicia was motivated by the fear of not being able to see her children grow up that she changed her life forever. She would go on to change her diet to a strict regiment as well as add exercising daily to her daily lifestyle. These days one can find Alicia busy on the lecture circuit speaking at conferences for women’s groups and at health and fitness workshops about her life story. The collective maltreatment encourages Ash to be unwavering in her mission to empower, inform and boost the confidence of all those she encounters, while on the road. She has encountered a great amount of support and appreciation from fans around the country, consistently telling her how she has helped them to changed their lives or how she has motivated them to start taking their health and diet seriously. The devoted and proud mother of two, daughter Merceytee (17) and son William (10), claims them as her main motivating factor to changing her life. On top of that, she says that she feels God has blessed her to be in this position for a reason. With that in mind, Alicia is starting a foundation called “Skin Deep Foundation”, which will be devoted to using the skin left over from surgical procedures to being donated to burn victims whom are in need for their surgeries. She said the idea came to her after she lost the 142lbs and was dealing with having all of that skin removed herself. She is currently looking into the research involved with the medical practicality of collecting skin removed from surgery and the ability to be able to reuse that skin. The book chronicles Alicia’s experiences during the time period of being her heaviest to losing the weight, both the good and bad. Like the fact that her husband of 15 years was no longer attracted to her after she lost all of the weight, because he felt strongly about not being physically attracted to her because she was a small frame woman. She says that was probably the hardest thing to deal with emotionally, because she never envisioned losing her husband as a part of the pitfalls of losing the weight. The book will be in stores and available online shortly, and she plans to embark on a book tour to support the book once it hits stores.
