When I first started my journey I weighed in at 341 pounds. It took me a long time to finally decide to lose weight. I felt I was a confident “big girl” so there was no need. But when my weight started giving me health problems, I knew it was time to get healthy. So I started small, I changed the food I was eating and watched my portions. Then I started walking a few minutes a day. Shocking, the weight started to slowly fall off. Then I found myfitnesspal.com, joined curves and started to do zumba and my weight melted off! It was like my body was so happy I finally decided to move my body. It hasn’t been a year yet and I’m down 142 pounds. I’m not finished yet but I’ve came a long way and felt I should share my story. I know there are many women out there proud of who they are and feel they don’t need to lose weight. But losing weight isn’t about looks but rather getting healthy. I’m officially in Onederland and I’m excited where my new lifestyle will take me. By far losing weight was the best decision that I’ve made in my life and I’ll never turn back.

    Your post is really inspiring! I am also losing weight to get healthy. I feel beautiful at any size, but I feel healthier when I eat right and exercise, and then the weight coming off happens to go along with those goals.

    Your outfits are really cute too.

    Wow you look fantastic!....

    The best part is is your eyes.....


    You said you thought you were a confident "big girl" when you first started and you did it for health reasons.... and I completely agree with what you're saying...... but look at the sadness in your eyes in the first three pictures.... it changes to pride, and at the end you can see ownership!

    YOU ARE AWESOME!!! LEAD THE WAY GIRL :)

    Eat healthier not less, and move more...... that's all it takes

    WOW! What a great example of what small changes over time can do! You are DOING IT! Looking GREAT and I know Feeling a lot better! I love the pics... especially the ones with your smiling (showing your teeth.. TEETH make you look very happy. Show them more often unless you're trying to do the sexy shot! LOL!

    Keep up the great work... you are a big encouragement to many that think they cannot do it. You proved to them that you can and so can they!
