First Time Around the Block

Hi All!  My name is Hols and I'm about ready to throw my hat into the proverbial blog ring.  For the past year I have been on a journey of epic proportions.  Well for me at least.  I started this journey at a miserable 289 lbs and today I have lost over 100 lbs and counting.  In the beginning, I just wanted to lose weight and feel healthier but as I progressed I learned so much more.  As I was able to get off sugar and processed foods and get beyond the bonds of my cravings, a new world opened up to me.  I started researching for hours on end.  I read others blogs, read books, read research studies, started nutritional meetings with likeminded people.  All of this was done to find out why the body does what it does.  Its funny to say but enzymes, liver processes, and glycemic indexes became interesting to me.  This is why we are here today.  I decided to create a blog to share some of the articles, stories, findings, and personal experiences from my journey and hopefully you will share yours as well.
