Introduction Text Finding true strength within...and learning to wear it on the outside. I'm a fighter and not quitting this time. I am 29 years old, stand 5' 2 1/2" short, and started losing weight when I was over 250lbs. I don't know my actual highest weight. I had/have a fear of the scale. Comparing my heaviest pictures against how I looked at 250lbs, I would venture a guess that my actual highest was around 300ish. I am Starting over; FRESH & CLEAN. A new slate. New goals, new all. With every success, there is a story behind it. Here is my quick synopsis since I've been gone from SP. 2012- Changed careers from accounting to trucking. Within 4 months of my career change, my now ex-husband cheated on me, left me, and kicked me out with nowhere to go and no way to get there. I was devastated but knew my life wasn't over. I bought a car and moved in with family. 2013- Started trucking for an out of state company and began getting my health and finances in order. This entire year was spent rebuilding myself. I shattered my arm, wrist and hand at work and was out of work and then on light duty for 6 months. 2014- I moved to Massachusetts to be closer to work and realized I needed to start working toward my goal of fighting MMA. I joined a martial arts academy and started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and working with a personal trainer. I lost a ton of weight and was doing awesome until extreme financial hardship happened and everything halted. So here we are in 2015... January- Rejoined my regular gym & started working with a personal trainer & nutritionist. Attended some BJJ classes as well. Lost 10lbs this month! February- Broke my arm again at work... not medically cleared to train OR go to work. Still managed to lose 10lbs this month though! March- I returned to work and training...First month in almost a year that I was at my BJJ academy enough to test for another stripe on my belt. I didn't really lose any weight this month but lost a zillion inches. April- I increased my BJJ training to 4x a week, working with my personal trainer 3x a week and a nutritionist weekly. I've signed up for my first BJJ competition for May and am trying out new boxing gyms in the area. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is standing in my way of achieving my goals this time. This time, I am on my own and won't stop until I reach all of my goals. My YoYo Weight: 07/07/2007: 243.7 lbs ...Up 10/07/2007: 203.4 lbs ...Down 06/01/2008: 220.8 lbs ...Up 09/21/2009: 206.6 lbs ...
