Introduction Text Hi, my name is Katie, I started my weight loss journey at over 200lbs. in March of 2008. I reached my goal weight in 2010 and have maintained it since that time. I have overcome/battled many obstacles in my journey. Including a battle with ulcerative colitis (which is currently in remission). Chronic neck and back pain which still persist, migraines, and other physical issues. I was able to work past all that to lose & maintain weight lost. I am so proud of where I have come. Currently I have just overcome another large amount of hurdles. I am still working to get my life "back in order" I guess. However, I am happier than I have ever been. I am in school to further my nursing degree at this time. I am debating getting my bachelor's degree in psychology as I am very very close to having all the courses completed. (I was working as a psychiatric nurse) I love psychology & psychiatric medicine. That's a little about my current situation. Read my blogs to find out more.

I am running 5Ks & 1/2 marathons this year. I am doing fundraising events for Special Olympics & the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation at this time. I am focusing more of my runs/events on good causes. Spread happiness & joy Get more into Yoga & meditation (which I am now doing)

HAVE FUN!!!! Did The Ham Run 5K on May 6th 2012 & placed 4th in the women. It was hilly & my time was 29:47 which is not spectacular but 4th place made my day. Right now my program is fun. I did a lot of snowshoeing this winter and hiking. I traveled to Michigan and Wisconsin. I didn't spend a lot of time in the gym. I realized the value of being outdoors. I keep health food around. Fruit, veggies, Greek yogurt, & cereal are just a few things I always have around. LOVE LIFE!!! Try new activities, travel, enjoy life. It's amazing what attitude does for a person.

Well, I am currently maintaining a weight of 125-130lbs. for 2 years. My son is 6 years old. I am currently 32 years old and in college (ha). I travel a lot. I enjoy trying new things. My hobbies include: running, snowshoeing, hiking, swimming, camping, and pretty much anything active and/or outdoors. I also love to write, draw, paint, and do anything artistic. I enjoy horror movies, documentaries, and foreign films. My life has taken a turning point for the better recently and I feel like a whole new person. It is wonderful. I used to be full of anxiety and live my life afraid to try things & do things. I feel free now. I am a nurse but currently I am not working & I love it.

I have a great sense of humor. I love to laugh and joke around a lot. I have great friends who I can laugh with for hours. I consider myself to be very good at motivating others. I have helped other people with a lot of things in their lives & I am glad to have done so. In this life I want to help as many people as I can to help themselves. I want to live freely and experience life fully. I embrace and appreciate everyone I have in my life for who they are.
