Thanks for the kind welcome!

And congratulations on your inspiring weight loss!

I hope you can get everything squared away with your house I'll be happy for this month break before diving into school even more so than I have been. Oh yes I just worked with my boss for the first time in a month or so and she's annoyed with me still that I only work 17 hours a week. I don't care that she's annoyed. Bettering myself for my future and my son's future is SO much more important than playing waitress at a retirement home. I know I'll end up quitting my job to focus solely on school once my classes switch from 4 hours a day to 8 hours a day Monday through Friday.

I'm going to take my last pre-algebra test tomorrow and that'll be that until June 20th. I'm going to be taking a 15 month RN program at Concorde Career College to get my Associates degree. I can't live off of $10 a hour here in Colorado whereas I could in NY where I lived. Who knew?! How's your schooling going?? Oh and Happy Mother's Day!

That's great! I was wondering how the move went I'm loving it here in Colorado. The weather is generally much better than NY and certainly the scenery is

Hi!! How's it going??

You lost almost 100lbs in less the 6 months!!!!! That's amazing!! You look great! Your face looks so much thinner! I hope your enjoying your journey! Your gonna love summer :-)

Hey How are you?? Its been awhile since I have been on here..Well my complaint now is my hair loss and saggy skin..but oh well. I am feeling way better, more energy looking and feeling better..

Aww thank you! I threw away my biggest pair of jeans about a month ago and wish I would have saved them so I could see the difference from a size 28 pair of jeans compared to what I'll become. Currently I think I'm a size 22 or 20. I don't mind having my picture taken. I thought I was pretty darn well, pretty even at 355 pounds. But now I feel sad looking at old pictures of myself. But I don't have to be that size ever again, so that always makes me very happy!

Hi! I am doing well..I've been working out more consistent now and seeing my hard work pay off..how are you?

Thank you! I'm actually hoping to get down to 150 seeing as just about everyone who has the surgery will regain a small amount of weight. But I'll be so happy just to be 199 pounds again :P How are you doing??

your welcome, its so sad when we stay in the shame and guilt of our past, washed free is free indeed and when people are clearly stuck in that darkness, it breaks my heart. They need the light of the Lord to shine bright in those lies, and break free from the chains that want to keep them there. But God girl.... But God!

Thanks for info.... I live in Texas and I'm still having a hard time getting my water intake daily. . I will have to set an alarm to go off every 15 minutes lol...

Thank you I'm a work in progress. I'm 2.5 years post op. I can eat more so it's imperative I make good choices and exercise. I'm sure you are doing great as well. You should chart your progress in pics I found it to be very motivating.

Im doing ok so far. My eating is ok..I stop as soon as I get that feeling of fullness. The only thing I struggle with is when I eat I feel like I have gas bubbles trying to come up the sametime my food is going down. I need to get more exercise in as well..
