I've done it now.  I'm putting my journey out there for the whole world to see.  Am I scared? Yes.  Am I intimidated. Yes.  Am I excited? Absolutely.  

 Just over three years ago I gave birth to my third baby.  I weighed 299 pounds.  Nope ... not a type-o.  I struggled for two years to lose weight and get my life and my body back.  I was frustrated.  I was angry.  I was tired of hearing people tell me I was fat.  Then I found the "Magic Pill."  It's called: Sweat, pain, hard work and consistency.  Beach Body made it all possible.  So far I have lost just over 75 pounds.  I'm about half way to my goal of becoming Half the Woman I was.  This Blog is my Journey.  My ups and down.  My heartaches.  My frustrations.  My accountability.  My successes.

 Comments are hoped for.  Suggestions welcome.  And most importantly, I hope someone will find my blog ... someone who was just as frustrated as I was.  Someone who feels angry at the world.  Someone who has completely given up.  Someone like me.

      Hey Leah ... please share away!! I have been to the point of wanting to quit and feeling completely overwhelmed many many times. I'm excited about the next few years and sharing all the ups and downs with those who need a shoulder to lean on!
