My Intro and story

Hi my name is Katie. I am a single mom of a 10 year old daughter Rylee. In 1996 I began my weight loss journey . I weighed 300 pounds and wore a size 30W. I saw myself in the mirror that day and that was the day i was done with that girl. I began to take steps to lose weight. I began when I went to Youth With A Mission when on lunch break (I had 2 hours) before my next class walking a total of 4 miles to the gas station and sometimes to the town of springdale to eat me a healthy meal and walked back to the base just before my classes. I did not notice at first but then my size 30W's were to big for me . I then took a trip to Belarus and dropped more weight I had to go vegan because of being allergic to their meat. I said goodbye to 300 pounds and dropped down to a size 18/20W.

I then went up just a size and said I can't allow that girl I said goodbye to emerge again so I began doing the couch potato to a 5 k run program. it was 12 weeks. I then dropped down to a size 18 regular. I did my second couch potato to a 5 k and dropped down to a size 16 regular.

I had a friend from church invite me to join him in a weight loss journey which consisted of correcting my eating exersize to name a few. I then said goodbye to the 200 pound girl when I weighed in at 199 pounds. I am on the finish line to reaching my goal of 135 pounds. so Here I am on MFP. with the support of new friends I know I can be a success and cross the finish line.
