5 months ago!!!!!!!

Jul 12, 2009

Well I am happy to report that I have lost 76lbs...Wooo hooo I can't believe it. I thought for sure I was one of the ones who it would fail on. I love the thought of living this new life. If anyone out there is reading and second guessing any of it. Please it works really people just give it a try and boom 76lbs down. I was scared to go to mexico,I knew of no one who had done it before me. I was the only one,a pioneer one might say in my town. "No, i'm joking"....Anyhow I am doing it, I will be posting a before and after for all to see.

First day working at the prison

Jun 08, 2009

OK today was day one working at a prison. I work in the medical part so it seems less dangerous if you can imagine that. I actually can't wait to go back. I think it has something to do with this need I have for excitement.Lord knows when I was 255 plus it took some energy to hunt down the grub I was munching on. Now that I don't have that maybe I am seeking it through other outlets. Well who knows all I can say is today was a losing day in the best possible way. p.s my instructor at the prison is a 5 yr out rny patient. She lost 150 lbs and has only gained back 15 lbs of it. We got so into talking about weight loss before I knew it the day had flown right bye.

OK so today I walk into this big pretty gym in my town with the mind set of checking it out....The old me wanted to RUN for the doors. Lord knows I was scared to death of any kind of activity. Well I looked around and liked what I was seeing. I am now a member with my first real day being tomorrow. Wish me luck because I get bored easy and this time I can't afford to flake out....

My story

Jan 28, 2009

Hello my name is Jennifer I live in California where the sun does not always shine,or so I'm told! I am an easy going, loving, up beat person. I have been over weight almost all of my life.I did six months of research before I chose the vsg,I did another 3 months of research before I chose my doctor. I believe in the power of prayer, so pray is what I continue to do.

  I have a loving husband who thought this was some sort of plastic surgery.Honey sorry but your wrong that will come later on though. I have two beautiful princess's that thank the world of mommy. That is where things got difficult for me . I had to weigh my options, I asked my doctor and myself how long  I would make it without this surgery. If I made it 10 more yrs without any major issues I would be lucky. So now the cons of surgery came into play: down time,risk, even financial. I have to tell you I am willing to risk it all for a chance to let my babies see me healthy. That is it in a nut shell,it's not physics it is common since. I don't want to be on the unhealthy side of life any longer. I now have an amazing support team on my side. It is all coming together beautifully.....
