Melissa Austin
I'm Melissa, a 30-something fulltime freelance writer, editor and writing coach. My interests are wide when it comes to writing and I enjoy writing just about anything.
Towards the end of 2010, I was faced with the reality that my weight had gotten out of control and I had an eating disorder. After coming to terms with the direction that I needed my life to go, I successfully lost 70 pounds, got a handle on my eating disorder, and am currently training for a 1/2 marathon in May. You can read about my journey here. I continue to lose weight and am in school working towards my Personal Trainer Certification. I am passionate about health and fitness and enjoy helping others reach their fitness goals.
I have four wonderful children who keep me on my toes. I enjoy reading, photography and just spending time with my family.
