I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

I did it!!
93 to be exact. I lost 4.4 pounds this week. Next up 100 pounds lost, hopefully by June 13th.
Exciting times. There's no stopping me now.
Thanks for all your support and encouragement.
