Last year I started my journey to healthy living the week of Thanksgiving. Many people thought that I was crazy to embark on this adventure during the holiday season but by the time January rolled around I'd already lost 20 pounds. By June I'd lost an additional 30 pounds (give or take a few) and I'd run 2 5ks and started training for the Nike Women's Half Marathon. But running is not what got the weight off, using EA SPORTS Active on the Wii jumpstarted my weight loss and this month I'm proud to be featured in Southern Living, a year later highlighting my success!
