I have a family history that includes heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, so when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my last pregnancy, I knew that it was time to take charge of my life. I started my weight loss journey in January of 2007 weighing in at 190 and lost 20+ pounds that year and have kept most of it off. My goal right now is to get to 160. Once I hit 160 I would love to lose even more and eventually get to 135 or so, but I'm trying to take it one step at a time. I'm currently at 166 and only 11 pounds from being at a healthy weight for my body type. I'm thrilled to be wearing size 8 pants for the first time in my life...I love being in the single digits! Size 6....here I come!
I've also become a runner and completed 6 half marathons. I love the amazing feeling of knowing that I've run over 13 miles in a race! Pretty cool for someone who used to only run if chased!
