Well let's see here. I'm 19, born and raised in Southern Ohio. I graduated top of my class and immediately began the journey of life. I married my high school sweet heart who is also a soldier in the US Army. But shortly after graduation I wrecked a four wheeler, and rolled 35 feet down an embankment. Life flighted to the nearest trauma center I couldn't walk or use my hand for months. I went against the doctors words of "you'll never walk again" and pushed through to a full recovery. Of course after months of no activity other than eating I gained about 60 pounds. Before the accident I was already about 20 pounds over what I wanted to weigh, so I had a collective 80 pounds to lose. I started using the MFP app, counted calories, worked out & switched to diet pop and lost a little over 30 pounds. I then "got so busy with life" I just quit. But I've made a lot of changes in my life lately and another one is toget back on track and start this journey again. I'm doing this the slow & steady way. I'm here for lots of support, not criticism so positive people add me as a friend :)) LET'S DO THIS!!!!!
