5/12/2010-Well OH Family it has been 4 months and a true journey I must say. I am so sorry that i have been gone so long. I have been truly working on me and what works best for me which is spiritual guidance and treating my new body like new money, LOL. Although I must say I have my days were im sick and not getting enough nutrients and some days I am filled with so much energy I cant be controlled in the gym. But through everything I still manage to keep myself together and keep pushing for my goal weight. I still alot of things to work on as far as me but so far so good. Im still having a little trouble eating certain things and dont know if im not suppose to be eating them right now like grilled chicken and other meats mostly. I got really sick Monday and Tuesday and was hurting like someone had taken a hammer and went crazy on my intestines so im still learning what to do and what not to do. I do go to the gym everyday 5 times a week i do cardio and weight training. I still take my vitamins and i try to stick to my good eating habits so that i dont go back to who i once was. So family i am doing ok and I miss everyone on here. Hit me soon!

3/3/2010 Oh My God I Cant Believe It!
Mar 03, 2010
Well Oh Family! Im sitting here teary eyed because I cant believe that I am finally realizing that im loosing weight and it is showing. I have gotten so many different compliments from you guys and it is a amazing feeling it really is. What really made me realize it is when i went shopping last night and I was able to go to what I wanted and go to the register and I had not been able to do that for a very long time. Also, the person working in Hollister said" Do you need any help?" and I stated Yes Please! I need this shirt in a 2x and she said ummm" Sir I would say for you get a XL or L because they fit loose. I was so shocked that someone actually told me I was purchasing to clothes to big. I guess I have to get out that old habit and break in the new me actually buying something that fits me and not buying something because it covers up my body from being so big. People when I tell you it was truly an amazing feeling and I thank God everyday that I get to experience it. DR. MACIK in Atlanta you are truly one of a kind!

Mar 01, 2010
3/12010- Well OH Fam it has been almost a month since you've heard from me. I'm still going strong and trying to prepare myself for a better life. I feel as though the worst part is over-SURGERY! Ive been eating and exercising well. I have also dropped 53 pounds in 1 month and a half so I'm very pleased and happy! I'm still ready to shed some more pounds and continue to live a more healthier life. Ive been through some hurdles this past month with my best friend passing at the age of 30 and being sick. Although I could have just gave up on myself I still continue to keep going. God is truly good to me. He has allowed me to have this beautiful gift and i will fight as hard as i can to continue to be the man i know I can be. Thanks for being there for me guys!

1/12/10-Well I had my doctors appt today and it went well. I was allowed to hit the gym and do some cardio and pump some weights..25 pounds no more. Wow~!

I weighed in today and also lost 2 more pounds. How about that! I was also allowed to start of soft foods and that worked out well. Im still following regiments and when I go to the gym im going to start slow and work my way up. Yipppeee!

I love y'all unconditionally please believe me it was an experience I will never forget. Besides the gas pains I really don't remember much everything from there was a breeze. Mea/Cris/Bren you ladies are heaven sent and I love y'all so much for being there for me. Dr. Macik said surgery went well and I am recovering like a champ. I must say alot of people couldn't believe I wanted the surgery because I wasn't that big but I knew what I wanted and I went for it. Here's to a speedy recovery and another life well lived. Thanks guys...now I'm off to get some rest! Talk later

12/28-I am so nervous-I feel so.....
Dec 27, 2009
12/28- Father God which art in heaven Jesus by thy name I thank you for the blessings of eternal life. I thank you for those things that we do not and can not understand. For those times I feel scared I feel safe with you in mind. With my surgery day fast approaching I want to be humble that this opportunity does not come everyday. It is more than just a dream and I am so overwhelmed that it is happening to me. I have surpassed all the obstacles that I myself thought I though I could not overcome. Here I am still standing almost at 28 years old. In your blessings everything that I do I do for you because you believe in me. In 3 days I will have a new life to start off 2010 fresh. I thank you for those blessings in Jesus name I thank you and so it is written it is followed.
