Finally ! Here I am ! July is always a crazy time of the year for us all I am sure with Summer vacations and our kids out of School. In fact, I am writing this blog post while I am standing in line at a ” hip and trendy ” clothing store and there is literally 12 people in front of me in line and 7 behind me , and YES you thought correctly, only 2 checkers. It’s always like this at this store, something that you just have to adjust your time accordingly for if you shop here ! Of course there have been a few irate people and I have had to duck from a few flying clothing items being thrown back at a rack as they stomp out ! What is with That ? This is my first bit of ME time since the kids have been out of school and just a few days before we go on vacation ! And there is NO way I am giving up the Gucci and DKNY purse I found while browsing like a deer in the headlights !

Anyhow I wanted to introduce myself and tell you a bit about me, my weight loss journey and why I am so excited to be the new owner of Happy Beautiful Me !

I am a married mom of 2, living in Sunny California and currently run my own online business. The main reason for me wanting this website Happy Beautiful Me, is too not only share my weight loss experience journey with you all but to give you tips and ideas on things that have worked for me, those that have not worked and most of all the support that everyone needs while trying to shed the unwanted pounds that either have been around for awhile or that have tended to creep up on us when it seems no one was watching I’ll be adding my story a bit at a time as if I typed the whole story from the start, it would take me so long that I could not actually start writing about all the tips and ideas that have worked, not worked etc. I went from at least 276 lbs ( the last time I weighed on my scale before I threw it out a 2 story window, honestly, I did LOL ) to 136 lbs and now have settled at just about 147 lbs. I am not done by any means. The journey took me just under 13 months to complete, but my life changed in so many ways and I am looking forward to sharing the story with you. I can tell you there was NO surgery involved and it was pure hard work and determination. I made several friends along the way and my main goal now is to share my story and help other’s succeed, because trust me, I have walked in your shoes and I know how hard it is.

So over the next several days, weeks and months, I will share my story, my photos and my life. I am also an avid ” tester ” of products and I love to share when products actually do what they say and you don’t end up with a zillion bottles of face cream, body lotion, eyeliner’s and fad diet books on your bookshelves ! Trust me, If it’s out there, I have probably tried it ! So as far as things I use or try or may try in the future, I’ll share with you the Good Or the Bad !

So Welcome to Happy Beautiful Me, I hope you enjoy your stay and more so I hope that I help you on your journey to a Happier, Healthier And Beautiful YOU !
