5'7' / 142 lbs.

"I have been plump, and later heavy, my entire life.  I began to seriously make changes after I had my first child.  I didn't want my children to go through the same struggles I've gone through.  So I cut out carbs, except for the weekends, and I don't drink, except for special occasions or a night out with the girls. I've really worked hard to find the balance that works for me.  I have the most stubborn and sluggish metabolism, but my determination won out and I finally found the right way...for me and I'm proud of the changes I've made. I also found a love of cycling....I bike everywhere I can.  If you're struggling with your weight, please just keep at it until you find what works for you. You can do it!"
