I remember when I did my first giveaway. I had reached 50 followers and wanted to celebrate.
I used my own money and bought a $35 gift card for the winner.
That was 3 years ago.
I never in a million years expected this blog to become what it has today.
I never thought I could help so many women just by sharing my own personal struggles and successes.
But I will tell you this... I am proud of it.
I am proud of all it's become. I am proud of who I'VE become.
I'm honored and blessed every day to be able to help other women.
It's something I am truly passionate about and love doing.
You've shown me love and support through all of this.
This little 'ole blog hit 10,000 followers a few weeks ago and this is my Thank You.
This is the BIGGEST giveaway I've ever done on the blog. And you're about to see why.
I've gotten some AMAZING companies on board with this who want to share the love!
Without further adieu, I give you

Mama L, I entered this giveaway because I'd be crazy not to, but I wanted to know how much you've already given me through your blog. I stumbled upon it in August, and I have been inspired by your journey every day since! Something about your story resonated with me, and I'm down 39 pounds (and counting) and am in the best shape of my life. So no matter the outcome of the contest, I'm still a winner. Thank you! :)

I remember the video you posted right before one of your big runs, where you had been sick and you hurt your knee and you were scared of disappointing people all the people that were coming to cheer you on. I remember my heart going out to you and wanting to let you know that you are in inspiration b/c you are transparent w/ all ur vulnerabilities. It makes you very relate-able! Keep it up!

Anyhow, just wanted to know how much I enjoy and appreciate your writing...totes amazing!!

I'm so glad you and Megan pimp out ThinkThin bars...I finally tried them and really like them! I was needing a bar to fill in the gaps and was going all wrong with my choices.
