When I couldn't fit on a roller coaster at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, my life changed forever. I was 27, a newly wed, and I had my whole life in front of me. Something had to go and that something was 150 pounds.

I have finally found that mythical and wonderful balance between geekery, nerdom, and a healthy, active lifestyle. For a lot of people, that balance feels like hunting a unicorn. And hey, you don’t have to kill anything and drink it’s blood for a longer life this way, either!
