It has been way to long since I last posted.  Well since my last psot I have got pregnant again.  I'm right @ 3 months.  My baby is due may 23.  I can express how excited I am.
So right before my second pregnancy I had gotten down to 183, which is almost 100 lbs gone.  So I will have to focus on that after the baby is here.  I hope it wont be to hard to get the weight back off.  But getting pregnant wasone reason I decided to have the wls.

God Bless, Vanessa

For so many years I thought it wasn't possible.For thoise of you who read this I ask that you please keep me in your prayers and I will likewise do the same for you. God Bless, Nessa

Hello everybody, I didn't realized that it has been so long since my last post. Things have been great for me since I have been loosing the weight. My energy level is much, much better.Lat wek I started working in the yard pulling out so old flowers/weeds and stuff.

Well I have so very exciting news, I'M PREGNANT. I have lost 94lbs since my wls in April of 2007. The docotors said it would make chances better to conceive if I were smaller. But I'm sorry i can't put it all on my weight. Ater years of infertilty treatment I have got pregnant. I than GOD for his blessing. He promised, but he did when he saw fit. I ask that everyone reading this pray for me and my healthy pregnancy.

Hello everybody, I hope that everyones Christmas was wonderful as mine was. I've been having roblems with being hungry alot lately. Now I know what people were talking about when they said being mind hungry. But overall, I do indeed feel Blessed and Highly Favored By God. It has been 8 months now and it indeed is a Blessing to be here.

I have know lost 90lbs. My weight loss has slowed down alot. but I'm now down to 184lbs. I haven't been this size since 1990 in high school. So I am totally thankful for this.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

My Story

I have been big boned as they can say most of my life. In my senior year of high school I weighed about 170-180 and I thought I was fairbuild.  In my earlier school years people would make fun of me and talk about my because of my weight. The LORD sent me a wonderful man that I was willing to grow old with. We dated for about 9 months and got married.  We have now been married for 11 1/2 years.  We have tried most of this time to have a baby but because of my PCOS I am not able to conceive (yet).  I have medical problems that are affected by my weight.  I would like to be a healthier person at a lower weight, so that i can have my children and be able to raise them.
