It FEELS GOOD TO CONQUER SELF.  I am now just as small as I was before falling off the horse, Now I will FINISH this.  52.8 lbs left to get to 159 which is the top of chart before Overweight category.  60.8 lbs to my dream weight of 149

 

BUT most importantly.....

ONLY 11.9 lbs to Onderland!!!!!!!  I should be there by Christmas if Not definitely by New Years Day!  :))

 

Cheers!

My Story

I am a 35 year old Single mother of 2 Dogs.  My beautiful Shelby (Red Heeler Mix) and my Good Boy Bernie (Lab Mix).  I have recently been consumed with why my diets never work and why everything I eat translates into MORE pounds!  My GOD, I must not burn ANYTHING!  Anyways, I have decided to go to Mexico for my Lapband since I am self employed and have no insurance.  I have paid for my tickets and put in my deposit, NO TURNING BACK.  I hope this turns out to be the answer I am looking for, because frankly, I am sick and tired of the FAT thing.
