Welcome to my missive about the epic proportions of my weight loss journey. I am currently 5'4" and 263 lbs. . . . and shrinking! I am a new import to the beautiful Crescent City I call home and navagating my way around delicious but oh-so-bad-for-you cajun and creole cooking! I'm a student, a wife, a crafter, a hairdresser, and a fitness amateur.
