This has been a long road. I started in 7/06 at 225. I was doing well and thought I could do it on my own. I stepped away from support, follow ups and chat blogs.

It took me 3 years to come back and find my say. I’ve been working on this for the past 6months. I’ve been able to drop 25 pounds and 36.5 inches. ZUMBA IS SO MUCH FUN!!

I have learned that if I exercise, complete a daily journal, drink at least 64 oz of liquid a day, weigh daily (really try not to do that one,...

I cancelled my fill for this month because I was doing so well....
