Welcome!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by by! My name is Ali, and I'm Megan's sister and also her partner on this weight loss journey we've decided to take on together. If you haven't yet, you can read Megan's first entry here

Now it's my turn to share my story, so here it goes....

Growing up I was pretty active and enjoyed playing sports, even playing on my high school tennis I'm a married twenty something, a new mom, and a "sometimes" runner. I enjoy working out, but I also enjoy eating and cooking, and dessert, and chocolate, and just about everything else.

Before giving birth I hadn't really looked hard at the reasons why I was unable to shed the 25 lbs I had put on since I started college in 2003. The weight slowly piled on over the years, and I never took the time to address the issue. After having my daughter I knew it was time to do something, because I wanted to be healthy for her, and I wanted to feel great in my own skin again.

Megan and I decided to take on this weight loss task together, and this blog will be our way of documenting our journey, and keeping ourselves accountable. I won't claim to broadcast everything I eat or every minute I exercise, but it's my hope that this online journal will help us to achieve our goals.

We each have our personal weight loss goals, but for now, our goal is "shorts by summer", as in Summer 2013. Accompany us on our journey as we try to accomplish this goal.

Happy reading!

Ali
