2020

15 years!

I bet I win the prize for maintaining a profile!  
Actually, I have a near & dear that brought me back to my page.  
15 years, I am still hovering at 190-ish, give or take a donut.  I have not allowed myself to haphazardly gain weight.  When I see the scale move more than 5# - I'm on it and focus on exercise and eating.  I know how difficult it is to lose once you go over the 10# mark.

Again I preach, it is a tool used to get you to a point.  Then you own your journey.

My lowest weight was 173 - I hovered in the 180s for about 5-6 years and it appears as I age I am going to settle in on 190 at 6'1".

If you are reading this, I wish you luck & happiness in making a smart decision and reaching your goal.  Doing it right and following your plan, staying on the rails - you will look back on life and think, "what took me so long".  I am forever grateful that I was able to have my surgery approved and in capable hands.

2015

This will be my 10 year anniversary in a few weeks.  Most people who know me have never known me when I was heavy, or can't remember me as heavy. 

Each person I talk to about weight loss & WLS is the understanding that WLS is a strong tool to get you on the right road - it is NOT an end all answer.  I have gained.  I have lost.  I struggle at times to maintain my current weight.  Dr. Anthone told me at my 3yr check up -you are no different than the average person now, you have to watch what you eat & exercise.

Keep yourself & your success as #1 and keep walking!!
