HELLO OH FAMILY, {ITS BEEN A LONG TIME, I SHOULDN'T OF LEFT YOU WITHOUT A DOPE BEAT TO STEP TO.} THAT LINE IS FOR ALLTHE ERIC B & RAKIM FANS. SERIOUSLY THOUGH IM ON TOPOF THE WORLD. I CELEBRATED MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON JULY 11TH. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF, I LOOK IN THE MIRROR SOMETIMES, AND WONDER WHO IS THAT GIRL. IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING THIN, IT'S NOT ABOUT GOING FROM A SIZE 22 TO A SIZE 12, SIZE 10 SHOE TO A SIZE 8 1/2. DON'T GET ME WRONG THESE THINGS ARE ALL "PERKS", BUT THE IMPORTANT THING TO ME IS NO JOINT PAIN, NO SHORTNESS OF BREATH, I CAN RUN UP STAIRS NOW, MATTER OF FACT I CAN JUST RUN, I CAN CLEAN MY WHOLE HOUSE W/O TAKING BREAKS. LAST MONTH I CLEAN MY BASEMENT ALL BY MYSELF, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. I WAS DIAGNOISED WITH LUPUS 4YRS AGO, THE JOINT PAIN THAT COMES WITH THAT CAN BE KILLER, I RARELY HAVE SIDE EFFECTS NOW. I USE TO WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, COULDN'T CATCH MY BREATH, NOW I SLEEP LIKE A BABY. I SAID IT BEFORE, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY, HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING THINGS THAT I HAVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF. THE JOURNEY BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2006, AND ITS A JOURNEY THAT I WOULD DO A MILLION TIMES OVER, IF I HAD TO. IM ALSO GRATEFUL TO GOD, TO MY FAMILY & ALL MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND CONTINUED SUPPORT. AND MY OH FAMILY, WHO IS THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS JOURNEY.  GOT NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR YOU.

TAKE CARE,
JENNIFER

HELLO EVERYBODY. HOPE ALL IS WELL. IM SO EXCITED IM 100LBS LIGHTER. AND IT FEELS GREAT. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT. IM HAPPY WHERE I AM NOW.  THIS HAS TRULY BEEN A GREAT JOURNEY.  MY DOCTORS, MY OH FAMILY & WEB SITE, INSURANCE CO. ECT. AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY, DONE FOR MYSELF. IT WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT.

WELL ALMOST 5 MONTHS OUT, AND I FEEL GREAT. IT'S AMAZING HOW PEOPLE RESPONDS TO YOU WHEN YOU LOOSE WEIGHT. IT'S SAD B/C WHEN YOUR OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE TRULY TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY.

WHEN I LOOK AT PAST PICS, AND VIDEO TAPES IT REALLY UPSET ME TO SEE HOW LG I WAS. I LOOK AT THEM AND SAY MAN..... HOW DID I GET SO OUT OF CONTROL. NOW I FEEL LIKE IM FINALLY GETTING MY LIFE BACK.
211LBS FROM 278LBS. I FEEL SO MUCH LIGHTER. GOD IS SO GOOD, WITHOUT HIM NONE OF THIS WOUDL BE HAPPENING.

I MADE IT THROUGH THANKSGIVING, THE FIRST TIME, IN ALONG TIME I DID NOT  "OD" ON FOOD, ONE HOLIDAY DOWN & ONE TO GO.

TAKE CARE,
JENNIFER
