Hello From Missouri

Hello I'm Erica, full time mother of five and full time student..Yikes! I started my journey to lose some pounds and get healthy this past April when I quit drinking sodas. Since then I have joined a gym and started strength training and calorie counting. I started out at 310lbs and now 272 and counting :) I feel better and I look forward to seeing what I can do.

    Erica--I have been inspired reading your journey and seeing how you are making such strides, literally, towards achieving your goals. Life keeps throwing you curve balls, but you don't let it get you down. Impressive weight loss to date! You know....we talk about trimming down or shedding a few pounds. It is a slow and steady process...and if we just keep going, pound by pound, inch by inch....we see results that will more than likely stay with us. 5 kiddos is a lot to chase after and keep up with. I salute you for being a great Mom to your 5 precious babies. Keep up the great work. I for one am very proud of you. :wink:
