My name is Amber. I am a thirtysomething who has been in a perpetual cycle of weight issues for almost my entire life. I tell everyone I was born big! It’s no lie. I’ve never been skinny. I was never a very active child or teen and that translated to me not being a very active adult.

When I was 30 I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This really put things into perspective. I need to get fit and lose weight or i won’t live long enough to do all of the things I want to accomplish in my life.

THis is my journey. I plan to lose 100 pounds and keep it off through diet and exercise. I’ll be blogging my up and down moments, my losses and gains. I’ll have to be brutally honest with myself here because I’m the only one who will do so.
