beyond expectations

Dec 30, 2008

I HAD NO IDEA THAT I'D BE THIS FAR ALONG AT THE END OF THE YEAR...BUT I CURRENTLY WEIGH 265 LBS!!! I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SAY THAT IN OVER A DECADE!!! THAT IS A TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS OF 130LBS FROM MY HIGHEST WEIGHT OVER IN LIFE! AND LEAVING ME WIT 115 MORE LBS TO LOSE UNTIL MY GOAL WEIGHT OF 150 LBS....

TO JESUS BE THE GLORY, FOR WITHOUT HIM AND HIS MERCIES AND GRACE THAT HE HAS BESTOWED UPON ME IN SO MANY AREAS OF LIFE...I WOULDN'T HAVE THIS TESTIMONY OR ANY OTHERS OF GOODNESS.

Dec 03, 2008

I'M DOWN 120 LBS!!!!!  I'VE HIT MY "HALF-WAY" THERE MARK ON MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY!!!!!!!!! THANK OU JESUS!  ONLY 125 LBS MORE TILL I REACH MY GOAL OF 150LBS!

I made it!!!!

Nov 05, 2008

My goal before surgery was to lose at least 100lbs LIGHTER by my birthday (which was Nov 3rd) which would be 7 months post op....WELL I MADE IT!!!! ACTUALLY I'M DOWN 107LBS!!!!!!

I'm doing wonderfully..I had my 6 mos post op appointment a couple weeks ago...all my blood work is great!  Iron is a lil low but that has always been the case for me...so I'll work on that. I'm still loving my Natural Hair..wouldn't turn back for the world!  My long-time friend (kindergarden) and her mother just recently had a gastric bypass on Oct 23rd, 08 that is so excited for me..both are well and we are now all three of us on this journey together!


It's been sooooooooooo long since my last post...

Oct 03, 2008

But at this point in my WLS journey.....drum roll please... I'm down 96 lbs from my highest weight of 395 lbs in March of this yr....To Jesus be the Glory!

I also decided to cut my mane...and go natural no more perms!!!! no more lyes!!!!  To my suprise my natural hair is Coily & Curly (what I always evnyed of other naturals..and never knew i had growing out of my own scalp!!) because I've had perms ALL MY LIFE since the age of about 6 or 7 yrs old....

So I'm losing weight, cut alll my hair off I have a little TWA (about 4 inches-stretched out)  and I'm loving it..... easy to take care of... I can wash my hair everyday!!! which is something totally new as well.... I feel so fresh and so clean every morning being able to do that..LOL  I also cut my nails down and removed the Gel coating that I used to keep them from breaking.... It's all about Natural for me now...and like I said it's so easy I feel, Free and Beautiful in MY OWN SKIN and I'm thankful for that...because I haven't always had days like these....!
