A year ago tomorrow, I was given new life! It is hard to believe a year has gone by and what a difference a year makes! I was one who lost weight slowly. One year ago I was at my all time high of 226lbs. I had diabetes type II and a blood pressure that landed me in ICU a few times. My cholesterol level was out of this world! My sleeve was a true life saver to me! I have always been an active person and didn't ever see myself as big.. except when I saw myself in pictures. Having illnesses

Hi Friends! It has been a long time since I've posted much of anything. I thought I would give a little update! I am now 6/12 months out and have lost a total of 60lbs. I know this isn't as much as some have lost at this point, but everyone loses at different rates. The point is that I am continuing to lose the weight. I have been stalled at 165 lbs now for 2 months, which I find frustrating, but the surgeon stated he is still happy with my progress. The dietitian also met with me and we

Happy New Year!! Hope you all are doing well. I am down to 168lbs. I weighed in at the surgical center this past Thursday and found my BMI has dropped from 38.8 in August to 29.4! I still have areas I need to improve on.. such as getting enough exercise and water in! I want to make this journey a lifetime success!I hope this journey for all of you is successful! I do tend to stall for 3 to 4 weeks at a time but it is still going in a positive direction. I hope all of you are acheiving the results

I haven't posted anything for awhile, so I thought I would just update you all on my progress so far! I am 55lbs down in 3 1/2 months and nothing fits me anymore! It still amazes me that just a few short months ago I looked so much different than I do now! I have had a few stalls that seem to last for a few weeks at a time, but then I look back and I am still doing ok with the weight loss over all! The inches have come off during these stalls and guess what!! I am one of those who have always

After a looonnnng 3 1/2 week stall, I am losing again and nearing a 50lb loss! (1 more pound and I will mark off 50)!! I am so glad to be out of that stall, even though I lost inches during that time, it's good to see the scale moving in the right direction again! I am gonna have to break down and go shopping, just to buy a pair of pants that fit me!
Yesterday my husband commented on my weight loss and how proud of me he is, then when he left for work, he walked out of the door singing
