About Me

I am started this blog for motivation for myself, but also to maybe motivate someone along the way. This will be a very candid and personal page of my weight loss journey. I started my weight loss journey on October 26, 2012. I have lost 52.4 pounds so far, to date. (4-1-13) I have lost my weight by doing Weight Watchers and exercising. My starting weight was 250.8 pounds. My goal is not to be skinny but to be healthy. My end goal that I would like to be is about 150 pounds. However, I will see what my body feels most comfortable at. 

Starting a blog about my personal weight loss journey is a little frightening for me. I will admit that I am still very self conscious. I really wanted to start this blog to help me stay accountable. 

I will post about my daily life along with struggles that I deal with on my journey to becoming healthy. 


On a personal note, I am married to my wonderful husband Matt. I am an instructional assistant at a local elementary school. My husband is going to nursing school and working at the local hospital. We love to ride our quads on the Oregon Dunes, spend time with our family and friends, be active, camp, and be involved with your church.

Here is my motto during my journey:

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
