It has been over a year since I have written. I have tried pretty much everything that I wanted to do that my weight was holding me back from (and health issues) except going back to college.

I am a full time college student finishing up my 1st year for my BSN in Nursing, and I  LOVE IT!!! I can't wait to graduate. It's a 4 yr program and I have 3 yrs left. I had a 4.0 my 1st semester but am pretty sure due to a B in my a&p II class it's going to drop me down to a 3.8 my second semester but I am still doing amazing!!!

I am up to 155lbs but thats OK. lol.. I am into p 90 x and my muscles are rippling! Only problem is a lack of time lately to stay consistent with it... upon completing my 2nd round of p90x I am going to try insanity to see if I can drop the pound but keep my muscle mass. HOWEVER I look awesome and my energy level is through the roof!

My arms are awesome and my legs are amazing (a little larger than what I was aiming for but muscular,none the less)

My husband works out with me pretty faithfully, and that will improve when I complete my finals at college in 2 weeks.

I can't thank GBS enough for the changes in my life w/o it I would be dead now!!!!!

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.. I AM TRAINING HORSES FULL TIME AND I AM NEAR BOOKED FULL. I AM A SIZE 2 EVEN GOT A 1 ON. I WEAR SMALLER JEANS THAN MY HUSBAND AND MY SKINNY DAUGHTER. SIZE 5'S FALL OFF ME AND 4'S ARE WHAT I WEAR WITH LONG JOHNS. I WEAR AN EXTRA SMALL SHIRT. I AM SOOOO ATHLETIC ITS UNBELIEVABLE. MY GOAL WAS 135 REALISTICALLY AND I AM NOW 125. I HAVE TO STOP AT 115 IF I GO SMALLER THAN THAT I WILL BE CONCERNED. MY DR TOLD ME I WAS DONE LOSING AT 140.

GOD JUST TRULY MADE MY DREAMS COME TRUE. I FEEL AMAZING. BUT I WORK A VERY PHYSICAL JOB TOO.

my life is amazing.. all my dreams are coming true other than being rich.. training is going great and I am now TINY.. a TINY tiny person.. its great.. but not strong anymore.. My husband boosted me upstairs at the barn and ended up throwing me over the railing to the top..  It is crazy when I go to walk out a door that you push.. I push and the door doesn't move.. I guess I weigh less than the door..

LIFE IS GREAT>>> thank you GOD>>>

I just had my 1 yr check up yesterday and my dr has told me to stop losing.. My bodyweight mass index is NORMAL.. HEALTHY... He said if I am able to I can lose another 10lbs but he doesn't think I have that much left to lose.. He said basicly just keep doing what I am doing and if I would happen to gain more than 5 lbs to increase exercise and protein intake cut out all carbs till I lose that 5lbs.. I am really hopin the diet I am on now is what I can do for the rest of my life...

1 year ago I was over 260 lbs and recovering from surgery.. today I am 137 lbs and a world finalist with my horse in barrel racing.. We have room to improve and there is a good chance if we stay strong together we may end up a world champion within  a few years.. I can't believe how much improvement this surgery has done for my life.. And for the 1st time in my life i LOVE myself..
bad point of surgery I have a lot of enemies now.. Certain people loved me when I was fat and now they lothe me.. Not to mention my horse and I came out of no where when my weight dropped.. She and I are now the ones setting the pace. I am not changing.. I am loving this ride in my life and praying it continues on this direction.. I hope people will see this as a positive thing in time and I can b a testomony to them..

God has truly blessed me.. Not financially thats for sure but he has given me more than money could ever buy.. A husband and a marriage that is the best of anyone I have ever known.. Children that love and support me every step of the way. and a horse with hooves so fast we almost fly.. A belief in him all things are possible. and parents to help me all the way.. The friend department lacks but sometimes thats not a bad thing.. My husband is my best friend and my very small family is soo tight..

1 year ago right now I was getting put to sleep for the surgery that would completly change my life..

I have gone from a size 24 to a size 5 some pants a 3.. I have gone from a 4x shirt to a SMALL.. yes a SMALL.. I have NO PAIN.. yes I said no PAIN..

Thank you God for my new life.. Yes dreams can come through..

I have some more weight I would like to lose but I have lost 126 lbs to this point.. I am 140 lbs and my ultimate goal is 125.. I don't think I'll make that but I want to maintain 140 - 145 for life..

I hope everyone else is where I am at with their weight.. God bless you all..

I hope that on my 10 yr surversary I am saying I have maintained 140 lbs and I still have a wonderful life with my dreams coming true. and that I can still shop at clothing stores in the mall wearing tiny clothes...

everyone elses scale is still moving and mine is stuck.. I am maintaining but I still weigh 140 and goal is 135 ultimate goal is 125.. I don't think I have 15 more pounds of fat that I can lose.. and I don't have much excess skin maybe 5 pounds if that..

I would love to maintain this weight for the rest of my life.. is that possible?? Only the Lord knows.. I hear so many people gaining it back.. I don't eat 100 % what I am supposed to but I don't eat much food at all..

Now that I want pictures taken of me nobody is ever around to grab them when I am dressed for it.. lol.. I need a good pic from my camera to show where my weight is instead I keep getting cell pics.. lol  funny when I was fat everyone had cameras in my face now I am thin nobody ever puts me in front of the camera.. lol

I AM IN A SIZE 3 YES THAT IS A SIZE 3... I WEAR A SMALL SHIRT, A SMALL.. I JUST PICK OUT CLOTHES AND THEY FIT.. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.. MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED..

I ALSO WON THE 2ND DIVISION 1ST GO AT MY STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH MY HORSE..

I HAVE TO UPDATE MY PICS AS SOON AS I FIND MY CAMERA..

PRAISE THE LORD ,, ALL THINGS TRULY ARE POSSIBLE WITH HIM...

I PRAY MY BODY CONTINUES ON THE ROAD IT'S ON..

my horse and I did it again.. we won our 2nd big barrel show.. This time we clean sweeped the show.. She got faster each run.. starting at a 16.1 and ending the day with a 15.9 second run.. She had the fastest times of the day even with her slowest..

God has been blessing me soooooooooo much.. I pray he keeps doing that.. lol.. Hope that doesn't make me greety..

I think I am probably done losing weight I average 145 lbs.. I was shooting for 150 so this is awesome.. but between all my oh friends and myself I wouldn't be upset with a 129 lbs..

Hope everyone is doing great in life.. This surgery has given me a new lease on life and I was blessed to have an amazing support system behind me with my wonderful husband (soul mate) and children..

All the Glory has to go to God without him none of this would be possible.. Praise the Lord and put all your Faith in Him.. I know thats hard some times but you have to without faith life is not worth living..
