I started this for my kids, but I'm finishing it for me
My name is Holly and I'm 43 years old. I was a chubby child, a fat teenager, and an obese adult. I began my journey at the age of 34 weighing 307 pounds. Only being 5 feet tall, I was about 160 pounds overweight, and going to be in serious trouble if I didn't change my life.

UPDATE*** I got a divorce 3 years ago and during that time I regained half the weight I lost. I've been back at it since January 2019 and I've lost 67lbs. I'm about 12lbs from my lowest adult weight and 20 lbs from my ultimate goal weight! I am proof that anyone can do it!
