Dang!
on May 2, 2013 9:20 am

It has been a long time since I have been on here. I figured I should come on and do an update. I am 17 pounds from my goal to be a healthy weight for my height. I will then once I reach that create another goal. slow and steady wins the race. I was very frustrated but have stepped back and realized what I was doing. I am trying to eat clean and its so good. I have been cooking alot and that makes me happy and keeps me away from eating out.  Not much else to report as life has been pretty good.

Love the Tracker
on June 25, 2012 7:55 am
So, I am trying to really use the trackers on here and it really seems to help...I know some are probably thinking DUH! But I am trying to really use it and and hope that it keeps me on track. Today is a start of a brand new day. I just want to have a positive outlook on my life and instead of going for all the wrong reasons I am changing my thought process. Sure, I want to be skinny but that's not why I should be trying to just lose weight for. I need to really try for health reasons. I sort of have all along but not like this. My ultimate goal is 135 however if I make it to 150 I will be ecstatic about it. Let me rephrase when I make it to 150. Its going to happen. I am trying to get ready for my trip in Aug to California. I don't' expect to be beyond skinny but I want to feel good and comfortable in my own skin. I bought this Swim suit cover dress super cute and I can't wait to wear it when I am there. I don't know I have a great feeling things are going to finally kick in high gear and go my way...Happy Monday!

Getting Real!
on June 5, 2012 4:57 pm
I haven't been doing so bad on my diet plan but figured I better get on here and chat it up more for support and just be there for others. I always seem to get tired alot but I know once I get really going its full blast....Life is good I can't really complain much...This is short and sweet but I hope all is well!!

Thanks
Kanda

My Story

Hello! My name is Kanda and I was given information from my surgeon to join this site. I am excited to meet others that are going thru what I am and for support. I am from Texas where I lived all my life until 2006 when I moved here to Colorado. I am married with one son. I have always struggled with my weight all my life. I never really thought about my weight effecting my health. As I got older the weight just kept creeping up and no matter how hard I try I would lose a little then it would stop. So as always I would get discouraged and stop and before I knew it I was back where I started and plus some. Like many I have tried everything.  I started to be super super tired all the time, my blood sugar was dropping at least once a day, I the biggest I have ever been got some blood work done which in a long story short PCOS. I at first thought this was my answer because I figured this is why I can't seem to lose weight.  I tried everything from low carb diet...to pills and I would only lose just a bit then stop. Long story short after many years of that I saw a commercial for the realize band and called a surgeon near me and asked for some more info and 8 months later (due to insurance requirements) This process has been good because I've been seeing a therapist and was diagnosed with severe obstructive apena. So I got lots of info that I didn't realize about my health that if I didn't do something I believe I would have gotten worse.  I am looking for friends that want to know more about me and support and understand what it is like!
