I have been married for 14 years and have two kids ages 9 & 6. At my heaviest, I weighed 250+ lbs. I finally got to the point that I hated looking at myself in the mirror. I made a decision to not only change myself on the outside, but to change myself on the inside too. I began my weight loss journey January 4, 2010, and I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ on February 21, 2010. I started my weight loss program with the Wii Biggest Loser Game for 12 weeks, then tried running for a while, but had to stop because of knee pain. I began cycling to keep up an aerobic activity and absolutely loved it. Once I lost enough weight, I was able to add the running back into my workout. I never thought I would enjoy all the exercise involved with weight loss. It wasn't easy at first and it takes time and persistance. It takes making a decision and committing to doing it, but what's helped me most is relying on God to guide me.
