Hi! My name is Andria. The sole purpose of this blog is to help inspire as well as encourage me on my weight loss journey. As of today (2/17/12) I am 5'3" and I weigh 216.8, which means I am obese. I don't look it, but I am out of shape. My first and most important reason for this pursuit of weight loss is Jesus. It says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." Just like the scripture says, I am truly ready to start honoring the Lord with my body. I want to be a true representative of Christ both inside and out. My second reason is that I want to be able to go into any clothing store and find something to wear. Lastly, I simply just want to be healthy and not have unnecessary health problems. My goal is to have lost at least 40 pounds by June 16, 2012. This date is very important to me because I graduate with two bachelors. On that day, I want to look and feel great. I'm going to take this journey one day at a time. If you have any health tips, please share them and I will share mine along the way. God bless! //
