my story

On July 31, 2010, I weighed 345 pounds. I could barely move, let alone exercise, and I had a serious problem with binge eating.

and so it begins.
That day, I decided to do something about it.

This blog is all about my journey to lose 210 pounds and live the full, healthy life that I deserve. I write not only about food and exercise, but about the emotional side of this huge-and-sometimes-overwhelming-but-necessary task I am undertaking.

Some good entries, if you're looking to get caught up:I love these not just for the content, but for the terrific feedback I received from other bloggers.

I also did guest posts for Colleen (on my first hundred pound loss) and Carissa (on balancing being a foodie and losing weight), and I was featured in special posts by Katie W., Tim, and Katie.

The support of the healthy living blog community has been a huge part of my success - it's tremendously comforting to know that I am not alone in this! So, thanks for reading! I'm glad you're here.
