When I started my journey I set a goal to loose 50 lbs by Christmas (goal set in August) Well when I soared past that I thought well maybe I can do 60 or even 70! So i reset my goal and here we are a few days from christmas and I am down 80 POUNDS!!! WOW!!!! Almost half way to my goal weight already! I cannot believe how much my life has changed in 4 months. I am much happier person because I am happier with my self. I get to ride the train at the Indy Zoo with my kids!!!!! I get out and I do things, I sleep and enjoy getting dressed now. And with all the money we have saved not spending $200-$300 a WEEK eating out and such we are going to have a very fortunate christmas this year as well as donating to the local charity that help feed the hungry families and children in our area, we were also able to donate toys to the kids too. Its amazing how much this surgery can change your life in more ways than you ever thought. I hope that everyone else is also having a very Merry Christmas this year!

Congrats to you in so many ways! Glad you found that happiness and are able to spread the joy with so many others this Christmas Season. Many lessons taught to your children along the way as well. Happy for you!!
