Introduction Text Thank you so much for visiting my page! I gave birth to my beautiful daughter, Kaylee, on July 11, 2009. I am 5' 7"; I hit my peak weight with her of 306 pounds, and was already at my highest weight of 240 pounds before we conceived her. I am striving to be the healthy and in-shape mother and wife I know I am inside!! I have achieved one of my biggest goals since I stared this journey, and ran my first marathon, the Twin Cities Marathon, on October 7, 2012. Now, a new chapter has begun. The slate has been cleaned. I am not starting over, I am moving on to the next part of my life, to get back to the healthy weight I worked so hard to get down to, to get back to basics, to treat my body the way it needs to be treated, and to continue being a great role model for the love of my life, my daughter Kaylee. My New Starting Weight is 198 pounds, taken on Friday, October 6. I will weigh in every Saturday morning. 10/13 - 194 (-4) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Weight Loss Achievements/Goals: 7/12/09 (start weight) - 286 (after having baby) 9/15/09 (when I started WW and started documenting my losses) - 261 (down 25 pounds) 9/22/09 - 258.2 (-2.8) 9/29/09 - 257.4 (-0.8) 10/6/09 - 252.2 (-5.2) 10/13/09 - 253.2 (+1) 10/20/09 - 250.4 (-3.1) 10/27/09 - 248.6 (-1.8) 11/3/09 - 248.6 (0) 11/10/09 - 247.6 (-1) 11/17/09 - 245.8 (-1.8) 11/24/09 - 244.6 (-1.2) 12/1/09 - 244.4 (-.2) 12/8/09 - 241.4 (-3) 12/15/09 - 240.6 (-.8) 12/22/09 - 239.6 (-1) 12/29/09 - 240.4 (+.8) 1/05/10 - 239.6 (-.8) 1/12/10 - 239.2 (-.4) 1/19/10 - 233.4 (-5.8) 1/26/10 - 232 (-1.4) 2/2/10 - 229 (-3) 2/9/10 - 229.8 (+.8) 2/16/10 - 224.6 (-5.2) 2/23/10 - 223.6 (-1) 3/2/10 - 223.2 (-.4) 3/9/10 - 220.4 (-2.8) 3/16/10 - 214 (-6.4) 3/23/10 - 210.8 (-3.2) 3/30/10 - 211 (+.2) 4/6/10 - 207.6 (-3.4) 4/13/10 - 205.8 (-1.8) 4/20/10 - 202 (-3.8) 4/27/10 - 202 (0) 5/4/10 - 198.8 (-3.2) 5/11/10 - 196 (-2.8) 5/18/10 - 192.6 (-3.4) 5/25/10 - 193.8 (+1.2) 6/1/10 - 188.4 (-5.4) 6/8/10 - 186.6 (-1.8) 6/15/10 - 184 (-2.6) 6/22/10 - 185.2 (+1.2) 6/29/10 - 181.4 (-3.8) 7/6/10 - 179.4 (-2) 7/13/10 - 176.6 (-2.8) 7/20/10 - 176.6 (0) 7/27/10 - 173.6 (-3) 8/3/10 - 173.0 (-0.6) 8/10/10 - 174.2 (+1.2) 8/17/10 - 170.6 (-3.6) 8/24/10 - 171.6 (+1) 8/31/10 - 171.2 (-0.4) 9/7/10 - 172.2 (+1) 9/14/10 - 171 (-1.2) 9/21/10 - 168.2 (-2.8) 9/28/10 - 172.6 (+4.4...hello sodium day) 10/5/10 - 168.8 (-3.8) 10/12/10 - 166.8 (-2) 10/19/10 - 161.0 (-5.8) 10/26/10 - 160 (-1) 11/2/10 - 163.4 (+3.4) 11/9/10 - 162.2 (-1.2) 11/16/10 - 163.4 (+1.2) 11/23/10 - 164.2 (+0.8) 11/30/10 - 160.6 (-3.6) 12/7/10 - 161.4 (+0.8) 12/14/10 - 161.4 (0) 12/21/10 - 164.4 (+3) 12/28/10 - 168.4 (+4!)

1. First of all, to be healthy. That is the most important. 2. To be a role model for my baby as she gets older. 3. To be the best wife, mother, friend, and supporter I can be. 4. To always get back up if I fall. 5. To remember that not one single item of food could ever taste as good as thin feels.

1. I am a member of Weight Watchers and I follow their program as diligently as I can without being perfect :o} 2. I am a member of 2 gyms, the bigger one closer to home, the smaller closer to work, so I have no reason to miss a workout, even if I need to do it on my lunch hour. 3. I am conscious about what I put in my mouth. 4. I avoid temptations. 5. I make fitness goals for myself along with weight goals. They are in the main body of this page, and I know I can accomplish all of them!

I am Erin, and I am from Grand Forks, ND. I have a husband, Corey, and a rambunctious girl, Kaylee, who just turned 3 in July.
