My story...where to start? How about the beginning?!

My name is Lisa and I am 33 years old. I will be married 15 years in November and have spent nearly all 15 of those years overweight.  I was a total jock in high school, and then once I graduated, got married and spent my time working instead of working out, the weight started to pack on.

I have tried all of the newest diets and work out routines, and believe it or not, I am capable of losing weight. I can usually drop 20-25 pounds, but it inevitably comes back and with it comes a few extra friends....Sigh.

In 2002 I had my oldest, then middle man came in 2005 and then, surprise....in 2007 came our youngest! Now 5 years later with 3 little boys, I have found myself severely overweight and headed down a destructive path. 

I have thought about surgery for years, I am not sure at what point it went from being the easy way out to the only way out. I was always convinced it was weak of me to pursue this, that if I couldn't get there on my own, I didn't deserve to get there....but something inside me has clicked!  I have done the research and realize that this is a tool, something to help me along the way and to enable me to be a healthy, happy version of myself.

Do not get me wrong, I am happy and love my life...I just want to be around to enjoy it!! 

I know this is the first step and I am so excited to have a place to start that is loaded with the same kind of people with the same kind of journey...to all of us!!!!
