My name is Katie, and I am 29. I am a mom to two wonderful sons, age 12 and 4 (the older is not my biological child, but I am his full time mom). I am proud to say that now I am a RUNNER and a photographer and love music, books, and theatre. I was overweight most of my life, sometimes more than others, but always at least moderately overweight, until recently. I started a Get Fit Challenge with Stroller Strides in February of 2010, and started making big changes: watching what I eat and working out consistently!

I am a different person now than the one that started out on this journey. I am now excited to say that I am a MARATHONER (yup, I did it! 4:45:40!), and a fitness instructor! I am teaching Body Back, a program for moms who want to take charge of their health and gain the strength they need for motherhood. It is so rewarding to be able to tell them that I have been there, and experienced my own transformation, and am there to support them through theirs. I never would have dreamed that I would be this person, and can honestly say that if *I* can turn my life around like this, ANYBODY can do it!
