Hello World. 
I have posted new pictures.  They are pictures of me and people that I have met at the Arnold Expo's 2006 2007 2008!!!

Happy anniversary to me!!!  I am weighing 163 pounds 3 years ago today I was weighing 271 pounds!!!

I am grateful to the Lord about the weight that I have shed.  I am learning how important protein is.  If I do not start my day with the protein I have a tendency to eat wrong until I get that protein in my body.  Which I have done today and I am miserable.   

Hello world,
It has been a wonderful journey my current weight is 163 pounds.  I am 12 pounds above what I normally want to be.  It is a number on the scale.  I am weighing more because I have developed more muscle.  Not a lot a skin sagging.  Just in my lower stomach.  I may eventually get it removed.  The nurse practioner says that it is about 10 pounds. This is not an excuse though.  My trainer told me to stay off the scale and go how your clothes feel.   I am still able to fit my size 6's though. So all is well.  I am going to support group tonihgt.  I guess it has been freaking me out beacuse I can eat a  bit more. The nurse practitioner says you pouch will stretch some. 

Hello OH Family,
I am body building!!!  Fitness model  I am working out with a couple of personal trainers eating clean and looking forward to the  Arnold Sports expo!!!  My trainers have their IBFF procards.  My muscles are so sore but I am becoming even more  fierce!!!!  Pictures are coming soon.  I will be 45 this year I am so excited. 

Saw the nurse practitioner and we reviewed how I was and how I was progress.  We talked about pouch maintenance.  Afterwards got to see Dr. Needleman he was pleased with the results.  They both told me to keep up the good work and not to drink pop the gas from the carbination causes your pouch to stretch allowing you to eat more food and I surely do not want to do that.   weighing 161.

My anniversay will be Feb 28. I initially shed 120 pounds. I am weighing 165 pounds.  I have been as low as 147.  My goal is to get  to 140 lbs  and keep it off for ever.  Once I have this fibriod removed I will be doing really good.  The fibriod has been draining my iron causing me to become anemic but I am back on prenatal vitamins with iron.  I am currently working with a personal trainer so I am becoming very muscular which I love.  Muscle weighs more but takes up less room.  I am averaing in a size 6.    My hair is growing well and I am no longer in a relaxer.  I get it pressed.  I am really excited about my weightlifting.  I get sore but  when I see the progress   I say that it is well worth it.  I love the way that the fitness models look.  You have muscle definition but you do not look manly.  Water protein vegatables vitamins sleep weight training  prayer has made me successful in this journey.  It is a journey and if not careful you can and will put the weight back on,  It is very easy to do.  Never get lax in what you put in your new tool/stomach.

Hello,
I have been blogging for my personal benefit.  Trying to work thorough some struggles and I have been marking them for my own eyes only.  I am currently weighing 163 pounds. I have been down as low as 147 pounds. I have not been using my tool in the correct manner  not getting my protein nor exercising.  But I realize what it is.   I am having problems with this fibroid. I am  no longer working out with my cousin who is the personal trainer.  He is having some medical issues right now but I have a new trainer that I am workiing with and a new nutrtionist so I am back on the road to recovery.  Not a failure just set backs that I will over come because I am a conqueror.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.   Will post some pictures soon. Peace.  "You cannot control how people precive you but you can control how you present youself.

Today is Sunday 
I  am weighing 153 pounds and I am at 28% body fat.  I am really developing a lot of muscles since I have been working out with my personal trainer.  I train with him once a week and  I go to they gym and do what he as taught me.  I will post some pictures.  I love the physical strenght.  The muscle definition.  I started training for the Arnold 2008 5k pump and run.  I will be representing the Fitness Factory.  It is a black owned gym that is here in colubus.  I may not have to have any skin lifts.  I will keep lifting weights.  I love the friendships that I have created in thegym.  The give me my respect.  they realize that I know what I do while lifting weights.  They have even asked for pointers.  It is flattering.

Hello 
I am weight 152 this moring after having a scare a ballooning to 159 pounds.  I know it was water weight for that time of the month but I did do some damage.  My personal trainer and I have made a deal that I would cut out cheese so I can lose more fat and gain more muscle.  So I was eating everything in sight.  Now I am back to clean eating.  Tifiro my trainer and cousin wants me to get down to a 140 pounds.  Which is what I wanted to do.  He will not be working out with me for a while.  He is having a kidney transplant.  So we will be praying for him.  He has really been pushing me hard.  And I can see the results in my body.  I am getting really muscular.  On my way to looking like a fitness model/body builder.  I will have to have some more pictures taken.  Today for breakfast I had a berry smoothie with rasberries blueberries and blackberries and ice.  Then an egg white omelt with peppers and sausage pinto beans tomatoes and onions and jalapeno peppers.  NO Cheese and I didn't miss the cheese.

Hello,
A lot has happened since the last time I blogged.  I went to Las Vegas and had a ball!!!!!!    I walked up and down the strip with no issue in 108 degree weather and did not gain any weight.  I kept my eating under control.  Only went to one buffet at Circus Circus.  It was a waste of calories.  I ate the rest of the time at the Casino Cafe at the Circus Circus.  I can't wait to go back again!!!  We were out there for 4 nights and 5 days.  I turned 44  while I was out there and I am weight 155 lbs.  I have hire a personal trainer so I can get my muscle definition on!!!  My personal trainer is my cousin and I have been enjoying it.  I will be posting pictures soon of Las Vegas.
