36 yrs , I have four children, I love computers and working. I work full time serving adults with mild to moderate range of mental retardation. My health has become a primary concern lately and I figured it was time to do something to ensure my life span here on earth would be furthered. ~Daisy~

3/17/06 Happy Saint Patricks day all , well today is a good day, haven't been here for some time but must say Im truly Blessed, thank you LORD, To this day i have been great i have lost 53lbs and i look great they say but most of i feel great. I have not been walking like i know that i should ( but i am going to start) my job is so supportive and the family loves the new changing me/ i have not been able to eat much, i can't stand the fact that i am unable to eat chicken- everytime i try i vomit, so i guess my favorite food is out the window. ~Daisy~

3/30/06 Well hello there every one, things are moving alone pretty slow to me the weight has started to drop slowly, up and down. pretty sure its something i'm not doing right--so i will go back to the soup- as of today im 265 and even though i am happy to be here i really need the weight to start trickling down. ~Daisy~

4/30/06 Well howdy all things continue to be moving alone slowly
i am down another 10 pounds to me not enough but it is what it is. I am set up to see the surgeon next week, I am nervous that i have not lost the expected weight he may have planned for my lost goal. I know i must up the water intake and committ to walking
I know its the protein intake and i must boost it up. well i have been feeling alot better- did sign up for a gym- have i been (no) found walking to be more effective for me, too many people . I figured i wont be the fat lady in the way of the skinny person waiting on the equipment if i just walk. My clothes are way too big guess i can start some type of shopping, since i do work in a office. Can't keep tying them on me with what ever i find mainly a sock and a long shirt to cover it (smile) but i feel good doing it maybe it's my way of knowing i have shed the weight that use to fit and fill these jeans to the brim. ~Daisy~

wow shame on me, its been so long since i have been here and look at the dramatic changes here, VERY IMPRESSED. Life for me has been wonderful currently i am down 102 lbs since the surgery. I have been losing wt. but not so fast. Life is very different My children are so supportive they loved me either way. They now have a person who can run and play with them and not poop out so fast. ( Still out play me) My husband well , he wont say it but it show's on his face..... He is so stunned when i get dressed i see those wondering eyes, he say's damn you lost another person I dont even know you..... that's cool. Now with my testimony, I love to take pictures cant stop them my cell phone is completely full of pic's for christmas all i wanted was a digital camera... and i have put it to use, not conceited.... JUST HAPPY with the changing looks i have. I finally see myself as a beautiful person, and you know it shocks me sometimes. I look a photo and I actually cry, because underneath all the fat was and IS a beautiful lady...

I am so glad to be back here @ OH there's nothing like support... i just want u all to know i appreciate all the kind words, messages and insipriational comments u have left me in the past as i was a nervous wreck.. THANK YOU SO MUCH
