Hello my name is Dorcas Muhia, i like to go by Dee. Am 34 years old , born and raised in kenya until 2013 when i relocated to the USA. Am a nurse by profession here in Northern California and a blessed mommy to 2 beautiful children, a 16 months old son and a 12 year old step daughter.  I love the outdoors activities like hike, go to the beach, travel, wine tasting and recently running after the weight loss. Throughout my life I have always been on the heavy side. This didn't bother me at all in my childhood because coming from Africa, been chubby was a sign of good health and strength among the other children. Later on after pursuing a career in the health industry I saw the need to loose weight. I worked in a cardiac clinic back in 2010 and   found it ironic to tell a patient to loose weight in order to control their diabetes or hypertension yet I was obese and saw decided to live by example. My heaviest at that time was around 200 lbs (90 kg)  at only 22 years of age. I cut down on fried foods and carbohydrates and walked alot which helped me reduce to 180 -170 lbs (81-77 kg). It was such a huge achieving for me to see the scale go down as opposed to what i was used to my entire life.
