Hi! My name is Cynthia and I’m a former fat kid. In March of 2013 I embarked on a journey to a destination of wellness, weight loss and longevity (looking good in a bikini is an awesome by-product…). I’ve been (well) over 200lbs since at least 9th grade. For as long as I could remember, weight was the (pun totally intended) elephant in the room. Thanks to a feisty Orthopedist who told me I have the knees of a senior citizen, I decided that my body deserves to be treated better. So I made a choice to live a more healthy lifestyle.

Not only do I want to get healthy, I have a desire to accomplish goals I never even thought to imagine… I want to be an athlete. I want to participate in fitness competitions. I want to run races. I want to climb mountains and hike across the countryside. Most of all, I want to help motivate and show others how thye can do it too. How awesome would it be to go from the fat girl on the playground to that kick-ass fitness enthusiast who helps others get healthy?

So far I’ve lost over 50lbs and have gotten to this place where I am confident and I dream bigger dreams and have higher aspirations. Please feel free to tag along for the ride. I’m no fitness guru (yet), just a former fat kid getting healthy and achieving her goals.
