Kevin Cottingham M.D. At first sight Dr. Cottingham looks very young, but don't let the youthfulness fool you. He is a very experienced surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. He is very concerned and willing to answer any questions @ anytime. His nurses were very helpful in the approval process answering questions and guiding me through this journey.

T.G.I.F. I know its been a minute since I've posted, so let me update...The scale has finally moved and for the past 2-3 days I've weighed in @ 199lbs. I am so excited because I haven't been this small is so long. Some of my 14's are loose and I even have some 12's that I've bought a couple weeks ago that fitted snug when I got them but fit well now. I've also started writing down everything that I eat and counting calories. Now that I look back I am amazed at how much I was eating, not that I was eating bad stuff but I was eating alot. I would kind of keep mental notes of what I was eating and keeping the calorie count in my head not accouting for the "little" stuff that I pop in my mouth. I have a new motto now that I think about everytime I eat something and I write it on my food journal at the begining of the day before I log my breakfast..."If you can't count it (the calories) don't eat it." I love that! I've also found this new website that helps me keep up with the calorie content of some foods that I am not sure of (my-calorie-counter.com). I have went to another level with my exercises...I do cardio for 10-30minitues and then I do sets of interval/circuit training and it is wonderful. I can truly say that the weight that I am losing now is fat and not muscle. I just pray that I can continue on this path that I am on and not stray like I've done so many times in the past. Well that's it for now! Until next time...Oh, My divorce will be final on the 11th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
