Since I started this journey over 5 years ago, my life has changed for the better. I have accomplished goals I never thought possible!! Well as you can see by my new pictures, my life has changed for the better. I am down, you ready 150#!!! Lost a whole person!! Have a new look and people that i know don't recognize me. they can't believe its me. My daughter loves putting her arms around me and hugging me, my son whom is 5'10 loves picking me up. What a hoot!! My next adventure is going to be Plastic surgery to get rid of the unwanted skin. This is going to take a bit more time than I had originally planned but everything happens for a reason. I am off now but I will update again and not wait so long next time...
God Bless

It has been a long and wonderful journey. I am now down 125# and my doctor says 50 more and I will be at his goal and mind. I accomplished a few goals i had set for me. One was to get to the top of the LIghthouse by labor day and i did it!! the other was to ride a motorcycle which I did. One thing that was the best is I went on rides with my daughter and i actually cried. She hugged me soooo hard i thought she was going to break me.. This emotional rollercoaster I am on has to come to a stop soon. I am hurting people that I love and I don't want to do that anymore. Other than that life is GOOD!!

Wow its been 2 months since my journey began and i haven't been posting like usual. I won't know my officail weightloss until thursday when I weigh myself but I am hoping its 50#. I am very proud of myself for what I have been through and what I am going to accomplish. Its funny how the guys that didn't notice you before are suddenly talking to you and giving notice.. I can't be bothered with them because they didn't see me before so they don't have to see me now..
It's Official!!
