Hi everyone! My name is Erica and I am 32 years old. I didn't really start gaining weight until my mid 20s when I made the huge mistake of going on the birth control shot. I gained about 75lbs alone from that and have been struggling since to lose it. I stopped smoking cigarettes almost 2 years ago and that also didn't help the weight gain!

I recently started using Plexus (started on August 1 2017) after seeing a childhood friend use it for a couple years with amazing results. I have had this app for over a year now and found myself not using it enough due to lack of motivation. Since starting Plexus, I have become a LOT more motivated so here we are today! The SERIOUS beginning to my SERIOUS journey.

When I weighed in at the first of the month, I was 229 lbs. My first goal is to hit 200, but my ultimate goal is to hit around 140. I'm 5'4 but have my families Slovak build. Unlike all of them, I'm short. I've come to find as a teen and young adult that being anything under 140 made me look sick. Not trying to go that route :p

I am a small business owner and I operate from home. (I own Fo Shizzle My Fizzle, an independent bath and body store that sells internationally). Most of my exercise currently consists of making bath bombs for a few hours a day, cleaning, and some walking. Definitely need to change that.

So yeah, before I turn this into a whole novel lol...hello all!! I can't wait to connect with some of you and share our stories and trials and successes!! Best of luck to all and thanks for reading :)
