Hello World. 
I have posted new pictures.  They are pictures of me and people that I have met at the Arnold Expo's 2006 2007 2008!!!

Happy anniversary to me!!!  I am weighing 163 pounds 3 years ago today I was weighing 271 pounds!!!

I am grateful to the Lord about the weight that I have shed.  I am learning how important protein is.  If I do not start my day with the protein I have a tendency to eat wrong until I get that protein in my body.  Which I have done today and I am miserable.   

Hello world,
It has been a wonderful journey my current weight is 163 pounds.  I am 12 pounds above what I normally want to be.  It is a number on the scale.  I am weighing more because I have developed more muscle.  Not a lot a skin sagging.  Just in my lower stomach.  I may eventually get it removed.  The nurse practioner says that it is about 10 pounds. This is not an excuse though.  My trainer told me to stay off the scale and go how your clothes feel.   I am still able to fit my size 6's though. So all is well.  I am going to support group tonihgt.  I guess it has been freaking me out beacuse I can eat a  bit more. The nurse practitioner says you pouch will stretch some. 

Hello OH Family,
I am body building!!!  Fitness model  I am working out with a couple of personal trainers eating clean and looking forward to the  Arnold Sports expo!!!  My trainers have their IBFF procards.  My muscles are so sore but I am becoming even more  fierce!!!!  Pictures are coming soon.  I will be 45 this year I am so excited. 

Saw the nurse practitioner and we reviewed how I was and how I was progress.  We talked about pouch maintenance.  Afterwards got to see Dr. Needleman he was pleased with the results.  They both told me to keep up the good work and not to drink pop the gas from the carbination causes your pouch to stretch allowing you to eat more food and I surely do not want to do that.   weighing 161.

My anniversay will be Feb 28. I initially shed 120 pounds. I am weighing 165 pounds.  I have been as low as 147.  My goal is to get  to 140 lbs  and keep it off for ever.  Once I have this fibriod removed I will be doing really good.  The fibriod has been draining my iron causing me to become anemic but I am back on prenatal vitamins with iron.  I am currently working with a personal trainer so I am becoming very muscular which I love.  Muscle weighs more but takes up less room.  I am averaing in a size 6.    My hair is growing well and I am no longer in a relaxer.  I get it pressed.  I am really excited about my weightlifting.  I get sore but  when I see the progress   I say that it is well worth it.  I love the way that the fitness models look.  You have muscle definition but you do not look manly.  Water protein vegatables vitamins sleep weight training  prayer has made me successful in this journey.  It is a journey and if not careful you can and will put the weight back on,  It is very easy to do.  Never get lax in what you put in your new tool/stomach.
