I'm am now 35!

This also marks the day that changed my life forever!
It was on my 27th birthday that I weighed 330lbs, and it was on that day I decided that I was going to lose weight or bust. There was no more options or and no more excuses.

8 yeas ago to day I began my journey, and it has been one amazing journey.
I couldn't have done it without the help from people on message boards like you, the support of my friends and family,.and guidance from God.
