I am 1.6 lbs from my goal of 155 lbs...1 year and 9 d post op

Nov 27, 2011

I stepped on the scale this morning and almost cried. I never in a million years imagined that I would be 1.6 lbs from my goal of a 155 lbs. I don't want to get any smaller than this. I think this is a good size for me because I look pretty small already. I thank God for holding my hand through my journey. It was his grace and mercy that kept me strong. God allowed me another chance at life and I thank him for that. I'm just counting my blessing this morning and basting in his glory.

A few more pounds to go...so close.159.8 lbs as of this morning

Nov 01, 2011

 I am almost there ...never in a million years would I thought I would have made it. I promise it has all been worth it. I so love me right now.


  "Learning to Love Me." I went through a lot of changes in the past year. Physical, mental and emotional changes. I lost a couple so called friends along the way, but it is so amazing how God reveals those that are not for the good of you. I thanked him then and I continuously thank him now for his WONDERFUL grace and mercy. But through it all.... it was HIS way (notice I said His) to only make me st...ronger, better, draw me closer to him, and see myself and my life a lot clearer. See when God has something better for you...there is No one or Nothing that can stand in the way of it. Now you tell me God ain't good?! We as people have to learn to weed out the negative, jealous hearted, greedy and just all around no good people in our lives. When you are wondering why you are having so many problems in your life...take a step back and look at whom you associate yourself with. Beleive it or not...... negative people can bring about NEGATIVITY in your life if that is all their about. Trust me I will not be the first to pass judgement on anyone. As my wonderful moma would say," People will throw a rock at you and hide their hand." Now that is a mouth full all by itself. I don't know about you FB, but I want to move forward, not standstill and not move backwards. I love everyone and I am happy for every wonderful situation friends, family and people are blessed with. Love yourself enough to be proactive and do what's right and best for you. Who cares what others think of you...God knows I don't. And if they are talking about me GREAT, but can I listen so I can make sure you are getting it right (lol)? People will always have something to say regardless of what you do. So, the bottom line is "Just Do You!" I think my favorite quote by Marilyn Monroe says it best. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter."See More

Oct 24, 2011

I am 7.6 lbs from my goal of 155 lbs. I am so amazed at how much I have changed. I thank God for giving me strength along my journey. God knows it has not been easy. I will be a year post op November 19, 2011. I see Dr. Gibbs on November 17 for my one year post op check. He was amazed and pleased with me at my 6 mos post op visit the last time he saw me. I can only imagine what he will say when he sees me next month. Thanks all who have offered help and advice to me on here. This site is a wealth of knowledge...I gained so much support and knowledge from this site. Thank God for OH.

Slow but steady

May 09, 2011

 I have been alternating walking and running four times a week. I run and walk atleast 3.5 miles to a little over 4 miles. The weight is coming off slow by my scale but I am positive I am loosing inches. I can wear small/ medium tops and a 12/13 in pants. I have lost weight all over. I can wear a 7.5 to 8 shoe and my foot was an 8.5prior to surgery. Hair loss has been an issue the past month...ugggghhhh but it is seeming to sow down a little. Other than that I feel great; I have NO problems with my surgery.
