Hi, I'm Barb, first time user's, I'm 44yrs old 2 grown kids, divorced in 6-06 after being with the ex since I was ten he was 13, yes 33 yrs, married almost 26, but that is in the past, I have two great kids out on their own two sweet grandkids, they are the best.
I'm here to lose weigh and keep it off, I have struggled with being obese since I had my son 26yrs ago, nothing seems to work unless I stayed under 1000 calories a day, and ten grams of fat, most friends and family will tell you they can't believe I'm overweight, and joke about starving at my house.
However, I don't over eat, even the Dr agrees, I just eat the wrong stuff, you won't find sweets or junk food in my house, cereal/oatmeal, diet drinks, vogurt, diet jello, is about it, I won't cook for one, so my problem is I need to eat healthy, I hate meat/water.
I want to have the lap band, I have did a lot of reading on keeping weight off and have waited for almost a year, however, last month I found out, my ins won't cover the surgeon in St Joe, so needless to say I wasted a year, I do believe things happen for a reason, we just always don't get the answer we want.
I'm the happy go lucky type, I try not to judge people, everyone says I look and act younger then 44, I do try and dress younger, I have 4 bassethounds I wouldn't trade for no amount of money but gosh they are alot of work , one fish, and believe your family/friends are your greatest assets in life.
I thank you for listening to me ramble, I do that when I'm nervous lol best of luck to all.

I have met a really great guardian angel on here named Sue, who has/is helping me thru my WLJ, I gained a couple of pounds back right after I got better, however, in the last 2 weeks I have lost and kept the ten pounds off, I'm trying to get my protein/ fluids in and eat healthier, I'm smimming 3-4x's a week, and getting on the treadmill the days I don't swim.
I have to join weight watcher's monday,/ see the doctor for 6 months, for ins to pay for WLS, I don't even have to lose weight, just be consistant doing both, I have decided I love me and I will do this for me to have a healthy/longer life, I'm worth it  . I do pray everyone else is doing ok, I know losing weight is so hard and to maintain etc, I wish us all good luck.

My Story Got married at 17, gained 98lbs with my son, 5yrs later gained 66lbs with daughter, haven't seen 160lbs since then, my weight was never a big issue, my ex seemed to want me a plus size, never onced got on me about my weight unless I started to lose, but once I got divorced and a few medical problems I knew it was time to lose weight and keep it off.
Like other's for the last 27yrs I have gained/lost weight, in the last year I know several people that has had the lap band and it works for them, but I also know I have to work and change how I eat, if I want to lose the weight and keep it off, and I do want to lose this weight, I know I will have to try hard and believe it can happen if I want it to, my fibro is so bad and painful it controls my life, but I'm taking my life back.
I'm 44 and I want to beable to get up and do things I use to do, doctors want me to excercise in water I have several bone disease's that don't help the fibro, I use to think the impossible was possible no matter what and if you tried hard enough to make it happen, in 2002 I got hurt at work and had to have neck surgery etc, life will never be the same, I felt 20 one day and 60 the next, god only gives uswhat we can handle, and makes us become a stronger person.
I think a divorce changes a person, we change from our dislikes/likes, what once made us happy doesn't anymore, our needs and wants change, trust even becomes a bigger issues, I know I will never take life for granted again, one day you think you have it all, and you find out a week later, life is not as you thought it was.
So I'm starting a new life which will be alot healthier, I have been impressed by all the positive people on this site and the success stories on here,and hopefully I will be one too. I have alot of faith in the man upstairs,
