I started this for my kids, but I'm finishing it for me
My name is Holly and I'm 37 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.
I'm a social worker for a hospital, I've been married for 12 years, and have 2 awesome kids who are 10 and 8. I decided that I wasn't going to be the fat mom anymore so I joined Spark in June 2010, and ...

I'm a social worker for a hospital, I've been married for 12 years, and have 2 awesome kids who are 10 and 8. I decided that I wasn't going to be the fat mom anymore so I joined Spark in June 2010, and started a journey to a healthier lifestyle not only for me, but for my family as well.
I've lost 100 pounds as of September 5, 2011. I've really been struggling ever since I hit that milestone. I'm hoping to get to my goal weight by June 2013, my 3 year anniversary on Spark.
I finally made it to ONEderland October 17, 2011 after 16 months and 2 days on this crazy journey!
After speaking with my doctor on December 29, 2011 we talked about my health and my age and that a great goal weight would be about 140-145. If I stay under 150, she'll be happy, and I'll be ELATED!!! We also reviewed blood work that I had done (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL/LDL, etc) and she said the numbers are fantastic. Not just for an overweight person, but for ANYONE, WooHoo!
March 3, 2012, I've completed 3/4 of my journey by getting to 181 pounds.
April 22, 2012, I jogged an entire 5K on the treadmill. There was no stopping, pausing or walking! It was slow, I did it in 46 minutes, but it's a start!
October 28, 2012 5k on the treadmill 41:30
November 22, 2012 Turkey Trot 5k 37:01
