My blog is here for you and me. I’m here to share my weight loss journey and lifestyle changes with you. I’ll share my struggles, my inspirations, the daily tips I learn from people and other sources. I’ll also share my yummy recipes that I learn from shows and cook books. I’m on a new journey of being a vegan. I’m doing this for health reasons and environmental reasons. I can’t wait to share this new adventure with you. Everyone struggles with their weight and our focus seems to be always on what media suggests what we should look like. How about we focus on how we should feel inside. We’re not perfect but we can learn from each other and our mistakes to make a change for the better and pay it forward.

First pic was October 2010 two months before husband and I got married. Second pic was taken this year, two months before our 2 year anniversary. Lots of changes.</p> <p>I would have never worn this costume, my confidence before was non existent when it came to clothing and dressing up in costumes. I rocked my costume this year and felt great!</p> <p>125 lbs gone, 10 lbs to go for my goal. But if I don’t get there I’m pretty content with my image and confidence now :)</p> </blockquote>http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190779817http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190779817Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:57:50 -0500weightweight lossinspirefitness<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md3v779XaQ1qfb8i4o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190666147http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190666147Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:54:43 -0500FruitsVegetablesplant-basedveganvegetarianMedicine<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md3v51ultr1qfb8i4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Just a FYI</p>http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190618341http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190618341Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:53:25 -0500AvocadoVegetableFitnessWeightlossveganFYI<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md3v2jHBy01qfb8i4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Must Try</p>http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190560993http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190560993Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:51:55 -0500DIYAlmondMilkMilkWeightlossFitnessHowtoVegan<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md3uzwzk6n1qfb8i4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190497042http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/35190497042Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:50:20 -0500ironhealthFoodPlantbasedFitnessweightloss<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_manmwmgBuN1qfb8i4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Beautiful in any size.</p>http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/31924115718http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/31924115718Thu, 20 Sep 2012 11:26:46 -0400sizeWomanWeight lossweightBodies<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7rylZRm51qfb8i4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I want Mr. Tea</p>http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/31375012978http://inspirefreshproduce.tumblr.com/post/31375012978Tue, 11 Sep 2012 21:54:21 -0400TeaTea CupsProducts<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7rusxMaS1qfb8i4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Beans!
