Welcome to my blog 28 to 8

So what is up with the title?  It refers to my clothing size. That I used to be a woman’s size 28-30 and lost a massive amount of weight to fit into a size 12.  I know I am not a size 8 but there is no doubt in my mind that I will be, hence 28 to 8.  I created this blog to let people know what worked for me and how it can work for you. I wanted to create a blog to educate others to what I have learned. 

I currently have lost 170 pounds and have simply done it with changing my diet and exercising.  Ok the word ‘simple’ is an understatement, I worked my butt off.  I use ‘simple’ in terms that I did not count calories, have surgery or follow a strict diet. I will warn you that I am more of an in-your-face kind of person.  I am not here to gently push you into the cushy, feathery land of losing weight. I am here to give it to you straight.  Weight loss is not complicated but there are things you need to know.  I want to give you what I learned over my three years of weight loss.  So stick with me and you will learn how my way can work for you.
