Hello OH Fam!

Jul 03, 2009

Hi All,

I hope all is well. I wanted to check in and update everyone on my progress. I was officially 4 months out on 6/26/09. I am down 62 pounds I can't believe it. However, I know all things are possible esp. when GOD is in it and when it is meant to happen. This journey has truly been amazing for my hubby and I he has lost a total of 45 pounds. The gym has been great I think we are considered "regulars" because if we miss 2 days in a row wow we have to answer to a couple of people (LOL) we are also called Bally's favorite couple :). I love it you stay motivated. My husband told me the other day that he is very proud of me for sticking in this and seeing it all the way through.

One thing that I can say now. I'm not afraid to do anything when it comes to work before I would hide esp. when it comes to presenting in front of my peers/co-workers because I was so uncomfortable with myself. To anyone reading that is considering the surgery for reasons pertaining to health please consider. It has helped me alot if you have any questions or concerns with insurance or about the surgery at all please feel free to ask if you like.

In closing I'm very happy with my decision. I am been uplifted and have had a second chance at leading a happy and healthy life. One more thing I am off the diabetes medicine. There is a GOD and he is wonderful.


Have a safe and happy holiday!!!


GOD Bless!!
