1 year ago, I stood in front of this mirror at 605 pounds and decided I was taking my life back.
Today, I stand here at 484.6 lbs. Down over 120.
I have a long way to go to claiming victory. But I look back on this year with pride. And I’m unashamed and unafraid to keep going.

- My first 100 pounds are already gone. How hard could another 100 be? Making progress every week. Full steam ahead.
- I just realized that Gigi Bryant was supposed to be coming to UConn next year and that meant Kobe would start showing up to a bunch of games too and now I’m depressed.
- Breanna Stewart went 122-1 in her last 123 games at UConn. None of those wins were decided by single digits.April 5, 2016: Led by Breanna Stewart (@breannastewart) Moriah Jefferson (@_BonnBonn), and Morgan Tuck (@M_Tuck3), @UConnWBB wins an 11th National Championship and the 4th in 4 years
00:00 - Pleased to announce I’ve lost ~100 pounds in 8 1/2 months. Photo on the left is when Coach Hurley told me he believes in me. I couldn’t have gotten this far without the support from all of you. This is only the beginning of an amazing journey. 🥛
- The way Coach K and Jay Wright handled their respective retirements says a lot about each of them.
- I’ve never been proud of how I look. And I haven’t been honest with myself. But there’s no time like the present to make changes. I will defeat my obesity. Believe that.
- Replying to @mtosc98It took me a long time to have the courage to share my actual weight publicly. I constantly deal with feelings of shame and embarrassment. But I’ve realized I can’t help the choices I made in the past. And deciding to be the best version of myself is the best choice I can make.
- The UConn women’s team I saw today can win a national championship.
- First day of March. Down 6 more pounds this month to bring the total to 126 pounds. Not my strongest month but progress is progress. Heading out to Providence for the UConn game. Good vibes only.
- I go on Twitter at 2 am and we’re canceling Richard Dawson for stuff he did 40 years ago? Guys, it was the 70s. A game show host kissing contestants doesn’t even crack the top 50 weirdest things about that decade.
- I’ll tell ya something else, the UConn women are set up really nicely for a run at a repeat next year despite losing Paige.
- Weight loss update, 7/11: 50 pounds. Big 5-0. The half century mark. The first 50 have been really tough. The next 50 will be even tougher. The next 50 after that, who knows? This is the hole I put myself in. But I’m determined to dig myself out, and I’m confident in my path.
