About Skinny Emmie: Weight Loss Blogger

Hi there! I’m Emily, aka Skinny Emmie, a thirty-one year old weight loss blogger, fashion lover, social media marketer, and writer. I’m on the journey from 455 pounds to healthy – whatever that number ends up being on the scale. I reside in Kentucky with my husband David and pup Lilly. Becoming “Skinny Emmie” isn’t about being thin, it’s about being happy, healthy, and confident.

Want a short list of posts that will give you an intro to who I am? Here it is!

Skinny Emmie documents the good, bad, and ugly of going from super morbidly obese to healthy. With over 113 pounds shed so far, I cover the gamut of physical and emotional challenges that I’ve encountered from a very personal perspective. I also blog about plus size fashion as it’s a personal passion and is one of the keys to making me feel my best in my own skin. Apologies in advance for excessive mentions of glitter, dresses, running, the gym, and Starbucks.

Want to get the Cliffs Notes version of my journey? Start here.

I am a corporate marketer by trade who now owns a social media consulting company. I am the community manager for Enell Sports Bras, am a contributor at ShePosts and HerKentucky, and serve as a Fitfluential ambassador. Locally, I serve on the Board of Directors for AAF Lexington and Social Media Club Lexington. Junior Leaguer. I’m also the digital marketing editor for Story Magazine. I love to speak at events and write content for various publications. Check out the highlights of various media appearances here.

Want to get in touch with me? As a social media addict, it’s pretty easy to find me anytime! Find me on Twitter at @skinnyemmie. More of a Facebook fan? Find me there also. More formal? Here’s LinkedIn for you. Video person? Here’s my YouTube channel. For good measure, here’s Instagram (or search @skinnyemmie) and Pinterest.

I am living for this blog!! My weight loss journey started today, at 344 pounds. I am also a serious fashionista and I LOVE that you are modeling the clothes. Plus sized models never realistically depict the size and shape of “full-figured” women. Thank you! Thank you!

Love, Love, LOVE your blog. As someone who had my own weight-loss journey of losing 135 pounds, this is super motivational for people who wish to start. I just started blogging my own to help inspire people as well. Keep up the good work! If I can do it, anyone can. advocarehailey.blogspot.com

Emmie, I saw you on linkedin and decided to check out your blog. Love it! I too am losing weight and it really is life changing, isn’t it? I have my before and progress picture on my fb page if you want to friend me, feel free. I post healthy information on there almost daily. I have lost 37 lbs and 57 inches in four months and it feel awesome. Hang in there because you are looking awesome and imagine the good you are doing for your health. If you get to a plateau and want to try something different, let me know because I have never done anything that has worked like this. It is all natural, organic, super healthy and you lose your cravings (the best part). As long as your plan is working for you, keep it up because I have fought my weight for years and I know when something works, you stay the course. Best of luck and I am going to keep following. fb is Kathy Doss Rhoden

Hello Emmie,
This is the first time i’m checking out your blog, and so far i’m hooked I hope reading about your journey will also help inspire me. My mom told me about your site – she loves it! I’ve been trying to get to that healthy place too for a while now….but more seriously since June 2012….I’ve lost about 35lbs and do feel better…but of course it’s not coming off as fast as I’d hoped for…(it never does) so I’m trying now to focus more on the making healthy decisions daily as oppose to what my scale says every morning..it’s definitely a journey! I admire you for sharing your with the world.

Hi, Emmie:
I happened upon your blog by accident. I have a similar journey. I had the lap band surgery on April 3, 2013 and so far, with medication and the surgery, I have lost 60 pounds and 11.25 inches. I also keep a blog: http://www.anneslapbandjourney.com. I have found that writing helps me identify my feelings. I wish you continued success and I will keep reading.
