Lets see, I was never a thin girl by any stretch of the imagination.

I started smoking since I was 14 - ahh the too cool for health phase.
that was my only vice for a long time.
I was a competitve soccer player for years until I hurt my knee toward the end of high school.

In the last two years of university I started partying a lot with my friends and pretty much ate everythig I wanted as I wanted to. oh so much alcohol. My exercise mantra was then " I do not run unless being chased". I gained my weight all through university, and by the time I graduated I was somewhere around 240 lbs at 5'3 - and 23 years old. So I decided to take on all my vices and get on with it already.

I moved to Ireland for a new job, quit smoking, barely drank at all (their bars close at 11pm!) and started cycling to and from work.

When I moved back to Canada this year, I was now 187 lbs.

In may of this year I joined Herbal Magic and decided to get this weight off once and for all. I dont take their supplements - way too much money and I refuse to be dependent on pills to get over hurdles, I just stick to their good eating rules.

I have lost 56 lbs so far (as I write this bio anyway) and 55 inches off my body. I completed my first 5km in October 2009 - at 27 minutes!

My goal is simply to be in a healthy weight range for my height and age - about 120-125lbs.

Im hoping to start my mid twenties off right. I am done being in sweaters in the middle of summer - next year its bikini village!


I never thought I was a "small" girl - so its a bit of a weird thing - read identity crisis in a change room- to go from a size 16 to a 4... but it just goes to show you never know what you are capable of until you just go for it!
