My Story

Hello my name is Miranda I am 32 years old and have been a plus size girl most of my life.  I was always the heaviest girl in my group in high school about 150-175 at 5'4" thats chunky.  When I got together with my DH he was a big guy that liked to eat and I started packing on the pounds. after my first daughter I was teetering at 200 lbs.  three years later I got pregnant with my second daughter I gained 100 pounds and never lost it.  So at 300+ pounds for the last 8 years I tried everything
diet pills,trainers,starving,atkins,southbeach you name it I tried it.  I have always been proud of me no matter what I was just scared to not wake up one day or have a heart attack in front of my kids. So after my DH took the plunge in 2007 I decided it was time and in August 2008 I did it!!!! At 305lbs August 5th, 2008 I took control of my life.. Now  8.5 months later Im over half way there to my goal 125 pounds 60 more to go and I will be the thinner healthier ME!!
