Hi everyone! I started my journey on Jan. 4th 2012. I had been telling all my friends that I wanted to lose weight an that I was tired of being the chunky one out of the group. They all encouraged me but for me I wasn't so sure! I thought I had got ahead of myself and I wasn't going to be able to back it up. Well my husband had called me (who is overseas) and I told him what I had planned to do and his exact words were, "You can do anything you put your mind to, if that's what's on your heart." I took his words and ran with them. I am not finished with my journey as I still have about 30 more pounds to go so that I can apply for Officer Candidate School for the NAVY. Thank you for taking the time out to look!

    Cardio, strength training, and eat right...that's the main thing is changing your diet.

    You look amazing! I'm jealous! When I grow up I want to be just like you and I'm a Naval Officer. God's blessings to you. If you can do it, I can too.
