    If I would ever fix my hair and wear clothes that arn't related to a ball team I would have a cute new pic! lol

  10. I went today to have my post op blood work done. My PCP bust into the room and yells you've lost 74 lbs... I was like no 68... he informed me that on the day I came to talk to him about surgery I weighed 304 lbs and that's the starting weight he's going by... so I guess can say I've lost 74lbs in a little over 3 months!!!

    Hello Chonda congrats.... glad to know you are doing well I am considering TJ but of course a little scared it is so much better to actually here testimony of real people wishing you great success
  12. Hey all!! I'm doing wonderful.. feel good and would recommend A Lighter Me to anyone considering this journey!! Hope all of you are doing well and thank you all for the prayers through my surgery!! I think that is what kept me calm the whole time considering I went by myself on this trip

    Hi, I am going to do this surgery soon I hope, I started out trying this other company, never found anything bad about anything but I couldn't find real people to actually talk to about anything. So I am back at square one. I know your surgery is tomorrow but if anyone else on here can tell me about who you went through the coast and experience it would help me out a whole lot. I will be going by my self.

    All the best for your surgery tomorrow!

8 months down and my wedding pictures!!

by Chonda on 10-20-2014 at 10:13 AM
WOW.. how time flies... I was sleeved on 02/17/2014 and here it is 8 months later... I've lost 111 lbs and just got married!!

When I started this journey I weighed 298 lbs and was wearing a size 26! I just had my wedding dress taken up from a 16W (i suggested a 14 but the dress shop strong armed me into a 16W just in case... we can always take up but not add to) to a 12/14 according to my seamstress. I couldn't be happier right now.

I also run a 5K the morning

by Chonda on 06-19-2014 at 04:14 PM
I'm 4 months post op as of 6/17/2014... 78 lbs down and feeling wonderful... I completed a Drenched 5K this weekend in New Orleans and had an awesome time.

I have another 5k to do this weekend and I'm ready for it... I haven't ate the best this week as we've had meetings and lunch has been provided at work 3 days this week, but I have still managed to exercise every afternoon

Guilty about not exercising.. WHAT?!?!?

by Chonda on 05-08-2014 at 02:55 PM
Who would have thought I'd ever feel guilty about not exercising... Well it happened today. As i was taking my lunch break my plans "were to" go to our local nursery and pick out some plants for my yard and go make the post office stop.. Which all meant taking my vehicle... SO i get about a mile into town and just felt guilty for now walking like I have been doing on my lunch break.. Not to mention it's getting hot here in the south.... So I make a U turn and go ahead and
