Went to Dr. yesterday for checkup........YES, I WEIGH 218 POUNDS......DOWN 141 POUNDS SINCE AUGUST THE 7TH 2002. All I can say everyday is.....THANK YOU GOD!!!!! I know that I wouldn't be around this time next year if it hadn't been for this lifesaving tool that God, Vocational Rehab. and Dr. Black gave to me! I have been sick with the flu, but I still feel better than I did before surgery!!!! People seem to look at me different now.....why, I am the same Traci that I always was, just not as BIG! Everyday feels so good to me now....My knees don't hurt all the time and all my shoes and rings are too big for me. I have went from a tight 28 to an 18 in jeans. From a 5x to a 2x in work shirts....sometimes I still wear the 4x ones cause my insecurity shines through at times...lol! I would also like to Thank my biggest fans for cheering me on through it all...My sister Frankie, My Mother etc...etc... They have really been there for me! My 35th Birthday was the 21st and my Mother bought me a comforter for my bed, a tablecloth, and curtains. Made me proud.....I just moved and things have been crazy here! Dr. said unless I had problems that he didn't have to see me for 5 or 6 months. I had blood tests run the 22nd and I feel as if all is going okay. If they show that my body is needing something, Dr. Black will let me know. Thanks for listening. God Bless Us All and Peace~~~

Happy New Year to all!!!!! I went by Dr. Black's today and weighed on my way home from work. They always pull my file so we can document it. I took my shoes and work apron off and the scale read 228.2 lbs. I pinched myself hard in the bathroom just to check and see if I was dreaming. It has been quite awhile since I have been in the 220's......LOL!!! I finally started wearing my 2x work shirts. I will soon need to seriously consider picking up a few clothes. Seems like since the weight is FINALLY coming off and I am feeling better and better that everything else in my life is suddenly turning completely chaotic!!!!!!! Everything from crazy husbands to rebellious teenagers to moving to bills, bills, bills. But I know the Lord will not give me no more than I can handle. So here I am handling.......LOL. I hope to put up qa new picture soon. I know I have been saying that and saying that. But soon ya'll, soon. LOL. I will update again after the 22nd (that's my next official appointment). God Bless Us All and Peace~~~
