I got my goal and some
Jul 24, 2008
Yes,,,i reached my goal on July 4th, 2008 at 155 lbs but now i have a new goal of 145 lbs. Today, july 25th i weigh 147.8 lbs and that will be no problem. I feel great and look damn good in my clothes. I took a pic of me fitting in one side of my big pants and that was a total high. Nothing like it. I love me and my next step is plastic surgery on my stomach and thighs. I will be a the "it" girl fa sho.
The horizon is so clear

Almost at my goal
May 22, 2008
I am so happy...I am 15 lbs from by personal goal of 155 lbs. My road has been a little rocky but i am on track to reach my goal in six months. It really won't matter about the time just that i get there. I can fit into a size 10...oh what a feeling. Now here comes the comments of me getting too small. I want to be in a size 8 and i think i will look good in it. I will continue to lift weights so i can be toned and looking good. Now i have to tackle this swimming suit issue. Do i get a tankini or one piece or what. I only have a few weeks before the cruise and must make a decision. I have never had to decide anything like this.
New goal
May 05, 2008
Today i did 100 yes i said 100 crunches and my stomach hurts. but it is a good hurt. I can fit into junior 11/12 now aint that something. My next goal is to be in a size 10 by my cruise. I met that 12 now i want it all. i feel so good about myself. I feel confident when i walk and that hasn't happened in years. thank u God for this miracle.
Too good to be true

The other day my dress came from Fashion Bug. This is the one i ordered for the cruise. I was thinking the dress would be my incentive to keep losing weight. When i tried it on i could not believe my eyes...a SIZE 12!!!Yes,,,that is what it was. all i really need is a body countour suit and i am good to go. I will continue to lose so it won't be snug but just getting in it was such a boost that i had to show lamont. He was shocked too...i did enjoy seeing that look on his face. He told me he was proud of me and that i have come a long way.
Food doesn't haunt me anymore. Nor does it consume my every thought. Now my focus is clothes for daily wear and cute clothes for the cruise in July. Now life is so much clearer to me. I am not so afraid of things and what people have to say. I am ready for more of what life has to offer. As of today,,,April 4th,,, i have gotten rid of 75lbs...wow!
Over the hump
Mar 23, 2008
I finally made it over the 200 mark. On March 21st,,,the scale said 199.8 and i jumped and shouted. I was so discouraged a few days before but i pumped up the water and protein and exercised 4 days that week and bam!!! it dropped. Today,,,March 24th i now weigh 196.0. I thought my weight loss was over. Looking back i think i was eating too many mini snacks in between meals. I became aware of that that adjusted myself. Boy does this feel good.
it's eluding me
Mar 14, 2008
The last time i got excited about my weight was March 9,2008...early morning. the scale said 201.0 I just knew i was on my way. Then bam!!!I am stalling. 201.8.... Now the clothes fit fine...size 16,,,almost 14 but it is something about what the scale is saying that has me upset. I do exercise but i have found no comfort. I am writing,,hoping to let off some of the pressure. The scale now says 202.4. I was hoping to be under 200lbs by my 3rd month post op, I still have 5 days,,,,can i do it. I want that size 12 by the time i go on my cruise in July...Lets do it girl
The long road home
Dec 21, 2007
I really haven't taken the time to even tell my story i guess because i was so embarrassed...even in front of you all. I wasnt always so fat. But i can recall the time when it started coming on. I was about 11 or 12yrs old. Kids started making jokes about me and i would laugh it off then i would come back on them. the older i got my comebacks fell off and i allowed those jokes to hurt me. As i went into adulthood, the comments kept coming. I even got married to a jerk because i didn't want to be obese and unmarried. Boy if i knew then what i know now. I had to let that go because he sucked the life out of me. A lot of what was going on i overlooked until i couldn't stand myself for allowing it. I got the courage to let go. Then along came my love,,,Lamont. He knew i had weight issues but he told me i would do something about it once i got tired. Well,,,i got sick and tired....tired of wearing 22s,,,24..and almost 26s. But one day my life changed when i had a heart-to-heart with myself and made the call that saved my life.
The struggle was hard. I had to face all the demons that were causing me to eat uncontrollably. The first month was hell. I couldn't understand how i went from eating what i wanted to only liquids. One night i just broke down and cried...right there in front of my husband. I could not explain the hurt all i know is it cleansed me and from that day on i knew i would make it. Now food is not my enemy but my friend thanks to this tiny pouch. All praise to God because wls saved my life. Now i don't care what people say. The theys no longer have control in my life and i am loving everyday i wake up with breath in my body!!!
