Hi there!  I'm Christa:

Well, my story!  Where to start?  It's probably very similar to each and every person on this website.  I guess, in a nutshell, I'm so completely tired of the continuous UPS and DOWNS of my weight.  I'm 38 years old and I weighed 102 lbs in grade 3!  For the next 30 years that followed, I was up one year and then down the next.  In high school I was an athlete...but long gone are those days of glory...and even being able to do the simple things in life!

I've lost and gained so much weight over the years, I'm almost positive that if my calculations are correct...I will have lost over 1,000 lbs!  Yet so much of it keeps finding me again.  Mentally and physically, I'm beat.  So after many years of monumental efforts (including being a workout partner for my best friend on a reality weight loss TV show...which I thought was the LAST time I'd ever go through this), I finally spoke with my doctor.  He agreed 100% to support me in my decision to have RNY gastric bypass, and he, along with my friends and family are my biggest support system!  I finally feel like my life is actually going to begin.  I just KNOW that there is a thin person inside of me just dying to get out...and I can't wait to meet her! 

I'm at my heaviest weight ever...and it's very exciting to think of where I'll be in the very near future.  My surgery is scheduled for July 16, 2009 and I'm counting down the minutes like a kid at Christmas.....I feel like I've won the lottery of life!
