Surgeon Testimonial

Michael Williams
He was very informed and concerned that i was confident with the procedure i wanted. He was great and spoke with me individually about my concerns or questions. The office staff is fantasic. Everyone was nice and helpfull beyond my expectation. They have went above and beyond to make this process easier for me. They let you know exactly what your in for. There are no sugar coats and you have to sign an agreement stating that you will do your part for recovery and long term healthiness. Overall, i couldn't imagine going to anyone else.

Wow..Moment:)
on August 12, 2010 3:22 pm
Up till now i haven't had any major WOW moments ofcourse things i would say OMG or be elated that i can do or see. Well yesterday as i was shopping for the perfect B-DAY jeans. You know those ones that hug your curves and fits excellent. Well i went in this store and was asking about the jeans and for once it isnt a plus size only store, well she began to tell me about the different types then i tell her my size. She says well, i have a L and XL so i say, give me the XL and she says, honestly i think there going to be a little big on you so try the L. I know the XL was considered a 15 in this store. My mind still isnt comprehending that i'm smaller so i look at clothes still and say, those want fit or my thighs are to big for those. This is such a blessing and my mind keeps saying i want more to come off. I'm getting people that are say, how much more you want to lose and i tell them, i'm still a 14, not good enough and not a healthy place for me. I'm on a mission.

Size 14 from a 24-26. To date 143 lbs GONE!!!!!

LIFE'S GOOD :)

Month 11- I'm an ADDICT
on June 24, 2010 7:44 pm
It fuels my addiction. Anticipation of it's sweat while finding solitude in it's glow. It's all i think about, consuming my dreams and plans for the days to come. It's lingering pain bring satisfaction of great curves. I'm an addict. Addicted to it's racing heart beat and the shine against my purified skin. It is i and... i am it. It presses me forward against the wind with dripping water beads beneath my chin. I AM AN ADDICT........ A CARDIO ADDICT and it makes me smile from deep within.





-133 lost in 11 months; 151 gone from highest wieght

11 mo & my soul wants to shout
on May 29, 2010 3:02 pm

When your healthy and physically active you don't want to be still for to long. You just want to get going doing something; anything from being stagnant. My body has been sitting and sleeping for way to long. I want to run, jump, dance; anything but staying still. The pilot light is no longer on idol; full speed ahead....so keep up. He is truly an AWESOME God.

Hello my OH family. I'm doing amazing. I haven't weighed in over a month and won't until my year anniversary is here. Though i thought i would be alittle smaller i'm overall happy at my accomplishments. I went from barely being able to walk too being able to walk/jog 5-6 miles. Lunges and Squats are lifting in fabulous ways, i do 30 flights of stairs "just because i can", I push myself farther and harder with every stride. I've learned that nothing in this journey is always perfect and as i try to tone my arms (which are my trouble areas); i embrace my flaws and keep moving. I nolonger talk myself out of working out and actually look forward to the sweat it brings to purify the skin.

Though i say i have a long ways to go, i've came wayyyyy tooo far BABY and for that i'm proud. This once 383 lb woman is on a mission to achieve the happiness within me and guess what..........................

IT'S SHINNING THROUGH


It's all me, a work in progress but it's so all good. Size 24-26 to 14-16

My Story
























BE A HEALTHIER ME!!!!!!


***********************************************************

My Life's Vision:



Being a product of incest i'm really passionate on keeping our children safe and informed about predators. I share my story so that others realize that this sickness still exist. The effects of being abused can lead to Adulthood destruction. Not loving yourself, misusing your body, entering abusive relationships; are categories that stem from sexual abuse. Don't let the past hold on to you. Don't let it hold you back from self gratification and the empowerment to have a happy life.
***********************************************************
What I Desire in Life:



I'm presently working on a Book that has become my life's baby. It's filled with twist, plots, promiscuity and back stabbing. If it goes to print i'm not for surr but atleast its an accomplishment that will be well fulfilled. I made one promise in life and it's to pursue all the things my mother couldn't do. She was so kind and giving, strong and demanding yet crazy and jazzy. She is my inspiration. My goal to be better.
