Hello OH Family,

Are we actually still family?  its been so long I can barely remember you guys.  Well I am almost at the three year mark and I am happy with life.  Unfortuantely I am not happy with my waiste line.  I am currently weighing in at 172 which isn't a lot but more than I was due to terrible eating choices.  TOO MUCH Sugar, fats and laziness going on.  So I came here to feel acountable to someone again. All of my friends say I look the same and that I am tooo hard on myself but- you all know better than anyone that once you have got to a comfortable size, you remember how that feels, and once you move from that you feel it immediately.So I have got to lay off the SUGAR.....it is soo yummy and at three years I can eat so much more because I have streched out....


As for my emotional and family life,  BELIEVE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY SURGERY CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!!  I am seperated from my husband, I just need to find me again and be happy and content with ME.... I could go into long boring details but long story short...the larger me ..hid in a body and hid in a lifestyle that doesn't fit anymore.....

Please send me encouragement, because I really need it as I get ready for a new life and a new way of thinking about everything, the old me is safe but she doesn't fit anymore.

Hello OH Family,
I haven't really been around in a while and I can really tell.  I am currently weighing in at 169.  That number sounds OK  but that is up 15 pounds since January.  Starting today I am taking back accountability to get back in control of my tool.
So here is my confession:
I have been eating any and everything I can get my hands on!  Chocolate, ice cream and the everything in between.  Candy became my firend and I was out of control.  I was losing my confidence.
SO TODAY I AM MAKING A BETTER CHOICE!!

Healthier meals and healthier choices because I am not going backwards! 

Keep me accountable family!

So I have finally made a year.  Honestly it has gone by very fast. I haven't lost a amy wieght in bout 3 or 4 months and I am holding steady between 155-160.  Lately I have noticed alot of my old eating habits are back so,  I am mentally checking myself and my food choices. 

I recently considered joining the police department  and began to train for the physical test.  For the first time in my life I ran my own race and completed the mile and half run!  I didn't pass their requirements but I was over the moon with my accomplishment!  A year ago I would have never considered running anywhere, but now I can, and I will!

I don't take as many pictures anymore and everything personally has settled and Takeisha and Roxy are at peace and so am I !

THanks OH FAM for all the support and encouragment over this past year.

Hello Oh Family

Well I am weighing in at 154 which is 75 down from my highest of 229.  I am still comfortable in a 8 and 10 and life is really good.  It is amazing what you find out about yourself once  you see yourself differently.  I am happy and slowly discovering the new me!  Oh the best part is now when I am really developing muscle tone!  Oh yeah I have noticed that I am now double jointed in my hips.  Apparently I was carrying the extra weight and it was keep my hip joint in place- well now there is no extra weight so my hip can dip  !!!!  I hope I don't need surgery!

Well, I have finally hit  month eight.  I am weighing 160, and I have only lost 1 lb for the past month.  SOO SAD.  I know I have lost inches because I can wear some 8's but mostly 10's. My new  friends Takeisha,  and Roxy have been chilling and we are now all one.  I still can't seem to split a plate at dinner, but that is mostly because I like leftovers from restaurants!  I am still drinking my protien shakes, just not as much as I used to.  160 is nice and I really can feel the difference in myself.  I am happy and shrinking slowly.
