Hello everyone! I 'm now 5 months pregnant and can't wait until I can see our baby.  I go next week for my u/s and get to find out the sex.  Since I've been preg.  I've only gained 8 lbs. as of my last dr. appt.  But at this time I'mnot focusing on my weight loss, I just want the baby to be healthy.

It has been way to long since I last posted.  Well since my last psot I have got pregnant again.  I'm right @ 3 months.  My baby is due may 23.  I can express how excited I am.
So right before my second pregnancy I had gotten down to 183, which is almost 100 lbs gone.  So I will have to focus on that after the baby is here.  I hope it wont be to hard to get the weight back off.  But getting pregnant wasone reason I decided to have the wls.

God Bless, Vanessa

I thank him for showing me that I could actually get pregnant. For so many years I thought it wasn't possible.For thoise of you who read this I ask that you please keep me in your prayers and I will likewise do the same for you. God Bless, Nessa

Hello everybody, I didn't realized that it has been so long since my last post. Things have been great for me since I have been loosing the weight. My energy level is much, much better.Lat wek I started working in the yard pulling out so old flowers/weeds and stuff.

Well I have so very exciting news, I'M PREGNANT. I have lost 94lbs since my wls in April of 2007. The docotors said it would make chances better to conceive if I were smaller. But I'm sorry i can't put it all on my weight. Ater years of infertilty treatment I have got pregnant. I than GOD for his blessing. He promised, but he did when he saw fit. I ask that everyone reading this pray for me and my healthy pregnancy.

Hello everybody, I hope that everyones Christmas was wonderful as mine was. I've been having roblems with being hungry alot lately. Now I know what people were talking about when they said being mind hungry. But overall, I do indeed feel Blessed and Highly Favored By God. It has been 8 months now and it indeed is a Blessing to be here.

I have know lost 90lbs. My weight loss has slowed down alot. but I'm now down to 184lbs. I haven't been this size since 1990 in high school. So I am totally thankful for this.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i really had a great time for our family gatherings. We went to both my parents and my husband's aswell. Things are so totally different since my surgery. I feel like I can do anything, now that I have lost a lot of weight.

I went to see The Tyler Perry's play called Whats done in the dark. In the past I would have never thought about going out into the public like that.

Before when I use to choose an outfit i would try to find something that would hide my body. Now I'm having trouble finding a look that I like.

Thanks for listening, God Bless

Well I am currently down to 187 lbs. That is -85 lbs. God has been very favorable toward me. He has allowed me to go through these 6 months with no major problems. I have found that my pouch doesn't like the white of eggs at all. I just can keep it down. That's ok I will trade egg white for 85 lbs. any day.
Well I got my hair cut. I always use to wear it really short, so that is what I went back to. I have gotten a lot positive feedback. My husband is spend more time with me. I think this is due to the fact, that I havr more energy to WANT to go places. We've been to the movies, football games and to disney on Ice. And I am loving it.
I am still working on my water intake. When I went through that dry spell of no weight loss, I think it palyed a big part in that.
I have set a personal goal for myself i want to get down to about 165 lbs. So, I have 22 more lbs to go. Then once I reach that I will see where I am. You see, I don't want to be too skinny, just healthy.

Thank you all for reading, and my GOD bless you ALL.

Well it's been a little over a month since my last post. I am currently at 191 and feeling GREAT. Life has currently change for the better. I find myself enjoying going places with my husband. I don't feel as if he is ashamed to have me beside him. We went on a date tonight, went to see the Tyler Perry movie. I actually have room letf in my sit. I'm on cloud 9.

I can let my niece sit in my lap, now that I have one.

I was little down earlier last month because I'm tinking that I was not loosing fast enough. but it helps to know that there is no two people that are the same.

I am now in a size 14/16, so I have made a short term goal. I want to loose another 30 lbs. and then see where I am.

Until next time, pray for me and likewise , I will do the same.
