Hi my name is Katie. I'm a single mom of a 9 year old daughter. I have been on the weight loss journey since 1996. I weighed a whopping 250 pounds. I had my share of ups and downs but have stayed strong just keep trying. I undereat in calories have battled that for a very long time. I am now 5"4 inches tall and 208 pounds. my goal is to be between 125-135 pounds. I am also a bible college freshman where I want to be a youth minister but in small group form for teen girls and young adult ladies that struggle with abuse, low self esteem and eating disorders like I have.
