Friday, December 31st!!
I am so glad to be posting. I have lost 100 pounds!!!!!! I did it right before Christmas. I am so happy. I started at 241 and now weigh 141. I want to loose down 125. I have always wondered what it would be like to be skinny and now I am starting to feel it. This has been a wonderful year. An amazing journey. I know next year will be even better. I love my family!! My Husband is so great. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me, aside from my kids. I am so blessed to have a husband that supports me in whatever I want to do and that loves me no matter what. There is no conditions on his love. I want to thank all of you who has been there for me. Without you I would be nothing. I really have no new year's resolution. I guess it would be that we call family and friends more. I want to thank my OH family!! They are the best. I also want to thank my best friend Robin Glover!! I love you!! We will get together soon!! I miss ya!! I meet my first goal of loosing 100 pounds. Now let's see how long it takes to get 125. Love to all!!!
Until next time....Linda

It has been 3 months since I last updated my profile. I have lost a total of 88 pounds. I wearing size 8/10 shirts (or meduim) and size 12 pants. I can wear some size 10 dresses. I am so glad I had this surgery. I would do it over and over again. I have a new job. I get to see my family now. I love spending time with my family. My husband and I have gotten so much closer. We are a family again. I am hoping to have lost 100 pounds by Christmas. I think I can do it. Only 12 more pounds to go. I know I can do it. To those that are thinking of having surgery done, I recommend it. This has changed my life so much. I am so much more happier now. I am starting to love myself more and more each day. I am wearing things from Victoria's Secret that I thought I would never wear. I can play with my kids without getting winded after 5 minutes. I can walk with my husband without falling behind. My life is so wonderful now. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Love to all!! Until next time....

It has been so long since I updated last. I have been really busy and there are not enough hours in a day. I am down 62 pounds and I feel great!! I have went from a size 22 pants to a size 18. I can fit into some size 16's as long as they are loose fitting. I am having so much fun. I started going to a gym. I love it. I am tanning. I feel like I am 20 again and I haven't even made it to goal yet. My husband and I so much closer now. We even cuddle. Cuddling is so nice. We are planning a trip for our 10 year anniversary. It will be the first time we have ever went on a trip alone. I am so looking forward to it!! I just want to shout to everyone how life is soooo grand!! I am falling in love with my husband all over again. I love playing with my kids. I am not afraid of what people may say about my weight. My mother even tells me that I look good and that means a lot. I couldn't have done any of this without the support of my wonderful husband, Frank. You are the light of my life. I love you so much!! Thanks to all my friends and family for your support!! I can't wait to go shopping again!!! Until next time....Love to all!!

I am a happily married 31 year old who has 2 sons, ages 5 and 7. I also have 2 step-daughters ages 22 and 19. My family is the most important thing to me and I am so truly blessed having there support in deciding to go down this path. As you have probably read, I have a lot of pets. I live in North Alabama. Right now I am planning a wedding with my step-daughter (the 22 year old). She is getting married in May. I hope to have the sugery done soon so that I can look better at her wedding. But from what I have been hearing it may take a while to get in. We will just wait and see. This same step-daughter is graduating college a week before she gets married. My other step-daughter lives in Tennesse with her mom and is attending college there. Well that is a little bit about myself. I am counting the days until my consult visit. I am looking forward to it.

I am going for my consultation visit with the Dr. the first part of Feburary. I am hopeing to get the surgery done as soon as possible. My general practioner says the surgeon she sent me to is a really good surgeon. I am looking forward to getting this surgery done. Has anyone out there had the Roux-en-Y surgery and have you had any complications with it?

Me at 247 pounds. And the handsome man standing beside me is my wonderful husband!!

This is at the Atlanta convention in Janurary. My DH said you can tell there is a difference.
