Here I am oncce again. Almost a year since my last post and i am still holding steady at 180 lbs .. well not steady i weigh in anywhere between 176 and 182 depending on the day .. but I am still Loving every part of my life.. Yes Still happpily married to the best man in the world . He constantly amazes me. His Birthday is monday and I plan to make it a great one for him. parenting although the weight loss has nothing to do with this.. Parenting a 16 year old daughter that is dating, working and driving has been quite the adventure.. she is a really good child but i think just for a moment she may have though she was grown .. and in my world 16 is still a child.. so i have had to put her on punishment and that is something that i haven't had to do in years.. I took her car and her cell phone for two weeks( hard on her). next subject.. ohhh tired i have found out how important taking my vitamins and b-12 is I was so exhausted i mean to the point I couldn't dragg myself out of bed.. the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said .. Take your vitamins( haha)  and true enough my energy level is back up and i feel so much better .. so lesson learned i can only imagine what could have happened.. I love my life .. although i have hard days I would be a liar to say that everyday is peaches and cream. things get rough at work, the Husband and kids work my nerves from time to time , got a few associates that i have had to let go and more that i need to let go , but with all that said Life is still worth Living. I am more than a conquerer and As Long as God is with me It doesn't matter whose not.. read this on facebook tonight.... The Mirror does not show your reflection.. your tongue does. so with that being said,., Watch your words because what you say speaks volumes about who you are... The power of life and death is in the tongue,, Be Bless Fam and stay on the losers bench...

hi fam it has been a while since i last posted but i am determined to keep u guys updated on whats going on in my life. I am now down to 180 lbs and really don't want to lose anymore my body frame really looks good at where i am now. I have never desired to be skinny i like to have curves and the such,, My breast are gone and the skin is bad but the good thing is i can afford good bras and i look hella good in my clothes, the best thing is my huband loves every little inch of me. Its weird sometimes to hear him call me little but he does everyday. Our marriage is strong and it all due to the love of God that we share, I must admit there were times when things got a little rocky but i haad to reassure him that no matter how much weight i lost i would only have eyes for him. He has loved methrough it all and he is worth me loving him the same. It can work f those ppl that sayd we r destined todivorce after wls that is false I declare my marriage will last In the name of Jesus. I have found this part of myself tha i really didn't know existed, I am healthy and happy. I have a peace and as much as I would loveto say it is bc of the surgery it's not its bc of the Love of God, He has shown me that nomatter what i do and where i go He will be with me and a love like that is greater than any i have experienced. WELL fam its been good I have lost almost 200 lbs i am wearing a size 12/14 pants and m/l shirts and agaij i do look good, I will post new pic soon Love you guys and stay on the losers bench .

Well Hello Again My Oh fam 
 There has been alot going on since i last posted. I have had another surgery had to have a hernia fixed somehow my intestines got all twisted up not sure exactly what happen i went to Florida with my girlfriends and was walking thru the mall when suddenly i could barely stand upright. i thought it was a bad bout of gas or something but i did not go away i ended  up in the er for ten hours on the only sunny day of our trip and they did not know what was wrong so they gave me some prilosec and pain pills with the thought of an ulcer. now that scared me casue true enough i had been drinking and i know i shouldn't have been but i won't lie the grey goose and cranberry juice was good but i promise i have sworn off alcohol even though it wasn't an ulcer this time it just as well could have been and i do want to take care of this body of mine. well when i got back home i called my dr. and he got me in and pretty much knew what was going on with me just by my symptoms i love' love' love Dr Jones  he admittted me into the hospital and the next day i went to surgery i am now doing well i go back to see him on wed. sure it will be a good report i feel so much better my eating seems to have went backward but i am under 200 lbs 198 to be exact. well fam i will get back with you later again i love you and i love me too.

I am truly amazed at the difference i 'm sorry i haven't posted in a while but i have added new pics i have been having a blast. well i changed jobs i am truly no longer bored at work we have fun i like most of the people i work wit and company aw well although the pay could be better i'm satisfied . i've noticed little things that changed in my life. like the size of my couch it seems hugh now i was laying on it last night and realize i coould turn and flip and the joy i received amazed me. i also notice i can cross my legs and have energy out of this world. i am forever gratful. i have always like taking pictures but i take so many now that my huby makes a joke of it he was getting up with me every morning before i went to work to take my pic becasue i am sooo hoottttttt. n that is true, but our schedules changed and he leaves before me now so i have no body to take my pic anymore...... sad i know.... but really this has been an extremly amazing ride and i'm not ready to get off . i know it's past my six month and weight loss is suppose to slow down i'm fine with that  i've lost over 100 lbs and feel fab i also am comfortably wearing size 20 some 18 and thats down from 36 in six months thats a big differnce i can shop at so many store now that i get confused i'm used to two store so when i went shopping with mu sister and relaized  could shop at the same store  what a feeling words can't express well enough for now. c u soon

My Story

well i really don't know where to begin i'm 5ft 7 374 lbs and have tried every type of diet and weight loss plan u can think of . I have been the big girl all my life but always the life of the party. I am a happy , joyful person most of the time. I have been considering wls for about a year now the ulitmate deciding factor was after really givng it my all and losing 30 lbs i gained it all back.i knew then that i had to consider other options. I have two children. after having my first child at 16 i gained over 100 lbs talk about going from a size 14 to a 26 in 10 months then only getting bigger it was so horrible i didin't even take my senior pics or go to my senior prom even though i was with and still with my childs father (we married right after high school) He is the most wonderful man i couldn't ask for anything more. talking about marriage i didn't have a wedding either because i couldn't imagine myself walking down the isle in a big tent . I help plann lots of weddings so i kind of live my dreams through someone else. after talking it over with my boo and going to my first wl seminar i decided it was time. about a month after the seminar My Dr. office called me to set up my initail appointment by the way thats when i found out i was 370 lbs was a shocker i tell you the tears just rolled. I knew i had made the right choice. my insurance was approved within two weeks and surgery was scheduled. so my journey begins
