Karen began writing her healthy lifestyle blog, Beyond the Bathroom Scale, in March of 2012 while she was studying for her undergraduate degree.  By October of that same year her blog was shortlisted in the Cosmopolitan Magazine Blog Awards for ‘Best Lifestyle Blog’.  The inspiration for her blog was her own personal journey.  Karen had gone from being obese to being healthy and in the process rescued herself from diabetes and hypertension.  She chose the name of her blog because she believes that health and well-being go beyond the actual weight on the scale and in fact, she has developed an entire workbook dedicated to teaching people alternative ways to measure health.
