Can't believe it's been 12 years since I have been on here and 16 years since my surgery. Looking back at how successful I was to where I am now makes me so disappointed with myself, in 16 years I have gained 145 lbs back and it is totally my fault.  I let people telling me that I looked like a crackhead throw me off.  And 16 years later I am back.... However... I have had a lot of things happen in this 16 years... lost my job... COVID... and my oldest son was murdered... on HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE... so many reasons to stay on the failing side of my journey... but I have gotten my head straight and taken control of ME and MY Destiny.. Had Revision surgery on June 17, 2023... so I am just a few days out and back on my path... now I have to get back to my making my goals... first goal was to get back under 300 lbs and I have accomplished that... Now my second goal is to lose 25 lbs... today I am going back through my on journey to see what I did before so I can rinse and repeat because when I turn 55 next year I WILL NOT have a high BMI... Happy Friday everyone hope you all have a wonderful weekend

Hi everyone....Starting with a personal trainer to see if I can get my thighs to go back without surgery....signed up for six months once a week at Gold's Gym...Jenny knows what my problem areas are so hopefully she can help me help myself get them toned up....still wearing 10-12 clothes...still in Medium so its not like I am getting any bigger just want to get toned up...don't want to be walking around with lines everywhere from surgery....LOVED my TT but they just extended my Csection scar so that doesn't bother me....but having lines down my legs ....NOT...will keep you all posted on what is going on with me...so what is going on with you all?

Hey everyone...haven't been on here for a minute...been on Facebook...playing games...Capella going to school...Fiserv/CheckFree working...just busy. I put up some pictures I took when I went on my cruise in Jan...check them out. How are you guys doing?

Hey Guys,

Its been 25 days after my tummy tuck. I feel good...still can't exercise.. but okay. I can see why and how people get hooked on plastic surgery. I am still swollen but I am so happy that the overflow is gone I really could care less if I never go down. The Doctor says that I am doing great! My incision is healing well. When I go back I am going to find out about getting my legs done. If I do that then my two major problems will be taken care of. I had planned on waiting six months after surgery to decide if I was going to allow him to look at getting rid of the leg problem but, I think I am just going to let him hook me up asap. I posted pictures of the before and afters of the tummy tuck I will post more as I go down more. What is going on with all of you?

Well I got home yesterday around 4pm. They took off 25 pounds of skin. I can not wait to get  these bandages off to see what is going on with my stomach now. I can tell that I will not have a problem with pulling up any skin to bath any more.

In less than 3 hours I will no longer have a hanging skin where my stomach is. I am so looking forward to not having to lift up skin when I bath,shower, etc. I can save some money from not having to get Johnson and Johnson Baby powder. I am so looking forward to tucking my shirt in and not have a huge stomach to look at. Thank you Jesus for Dr. Jimerson. I will be at home later on. If I feel up to it I will update you all then. Have a wonderful day!

So the 90 day same as cash plan is a LIFE SAVER. My total cost is 6280. I have to put down 500 in order to set a date. 3500 has to be paid two weeks before the surgery and then 760 every month afterwards for three months. So now we are just on a count down to the 30th. I can't wait to get this monstrousity of a stomach off of me.

So I went for a consultion today, and now I have to figure out how to come up with six grand. Fortunately my doctor has a ninety day same as cash plan. I have been working overtime so hopefully I will be able to pull this off. Talk to you all soon!

Hi there I haven't been here in a minute. Need to beat myself for not keeping my profile up better. I have a lot of stuff to tell you guys about.

Cruise:

Went on my first cruise in June had a BALLLLLLL! I can't wait for the next one. We went to Grand Caymans and Cozemul, Mexico. I wish that we could have stayed longer. I love the fact that everything is paid for and I don't have to keep going into my pocket for things. I went with a coworker and his family and I am so glad that I went with them. They are experienced in cruising so they were able to tell me what to do and not do and saved me a LOT of money.
