Hi, my name is Erika. I am 42 and from Kansas. I've always been overweight, but I'm ready to stop that being an excuse for everything. My highest weight that I know of was 368.8 in 2006 or 2007 and my lowest that I can recall as an adult was 284 in 2010. Technically, the lowest of 254 in 1995, my freshman year of college, after I lost 35 pounds on Weight Watchers. I'm looking forward to getting down to my pre-teen weight! ;-)

I love to cook and create new recipes. For some reason, I keep thinking running might actually suit me once I'm down a bit more in weight. Seems weird, as I've never been a runner, but I'm willing to try it!

I am single, no kids, but I am an awesome daughter, sister and aunt! I am a real estate agent and I also am a rep for an awesome travel company. I am a huge music fan. I especially love LOCASH and have been friends with them since 2005, having been to about 150 shows with my friends. It's been great seeing them rise to fame from humble beginnings!

I'm ready to travel more and enjoy life to the fullest, so let's get moving!
