Hello

Hello! My name is Sarah. I'm on here hoping to get down to 140lbs. I'm currently at 174lbs. I need to loose the weight to help my body heal from a car wreck from Sept 2007. I had been pretty busted up from the wreck and my leg will never be the same. Something under my dash cut my right ankle in half and shattered my knee. Since then I've been diagnosed with a bone infection that has given me horrible arthristis and joint pains. And to think I'm only 23 years old! I weighed about 145 when I got out of the hospital in 2007 because the food wasn't that great, but I've gained it all back now. Now I'm more determinded then ever to loose the weight and walk better than ever! (Was orginally thought to be in a wheel chair for life.)

Outside of that I enjoy things like cooking, reading, my cats & ferret, arts & crafts, and learning new things.
