Age: 30
Where you live: Port Neches, Texas
Relationship status: Married

Occupation: Server for Applebee's
Fave film: Dirty dancing (the original) Or Pretty woman
Fave food now dieting: I do not diet, this is a life style change for me and all I do is count my calories, my favorite food will always be and always has been chocolate, that is considered a food group of it's own right? If not then Sushi
How much have you lost/hope to lose: 120.5lbs lost and I have 9.5lb more to go.
Motivation: At first my motivation was a friend of mine, he is still motivational to me and his wife as well. He said something and this saying is what changed my life forever "There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results."

Now my motivation is my mom and friends who seem to depend on me to keep pushing. When I feel like giving up and yes after so much I sometimes still feel like giving up, I am reminded I have a lot of people who are rooting me on and a lot of people who are also waiting on me to give up and go back to fat so they can say "I knew it wouldn't last." I have actually been told I won't be able to keep it off by people who have never been for anything I've done. I just look at those people and use them to keep me motivated to prove them wrong.
