HELLO OH FAMILY, {ITS BEEN A LONG TIME, I SHOULDN'T OF LEFT YOU WITHOUT A DOPE BEAT TO STEP TO.} THAT LINE IS FOR ALLTHE ERIC B & RAKIM FANS. SERIOUSLY THOUGH IM ON TOPOF THE WORLD. I CELEBRATED MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON JULY 11TH. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF, I LOOK IN THE MIRROR SOMETIMES, AND WONDER WHO IS THAT GIRL. IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING THIN, IT'S NOT ABOUT GOING FROM A SIZE 22 TO A SIZE 12, SIZE 10 SHOE TO A SIZE 8 1/2. DON'T GET ME WRONG THESE THINGS ARE ALL "PERKS", BUT THE IMPORTANT THING TO ME IS NO JOINT PAIN, NO SHORTNESS OF BREATH, I CAN RUN UP STAIRS NOW, MATTER OF FACT I CAN JUST RUN, I CAN CLEAN MY WHOLE HOUSE W/O TAKING BREAKS. LAST MONTH I CLEAN MY BASEMENT ALL BY MYSELF, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. I WAS DIAGNOISED WITH LUPUS 4YRS AGO, THE JOINT PAIN THAT COMES WITH THAT CAN BE KILLER, I RARELY HAVE SIDE EFFECTS NOW. I USE TO WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, COULDN'T CATCH MY BREATH, NOW I SLEEP LIKE A BABY. I SAID IT BEFORE, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY, HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING THINGS THAT I HAVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF. THE JOURNEY BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2006, AND ITS A JOURNEY THAT I WOULD DO A MILLION TIMES OVER, IF I HAD TO. IM ALSO GRATEFUL TO GOD, TO MY FAMILY & ALL MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND CONTINUED SUPPORT. AND MY OH FAMILY, WHO IS THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS JOURNEY.  GOT NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR YOU.

TAKE CARE,
JENNIFER

HELLO EVERYBODY. HOPE ALL IS WELL. IM SO EXCITED IM 100LBS LIGHTER. AND IT FEELS GREAT. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT. IM HAPPY WHERE I AM NOW.  THIS HAS TRULY BEEN A GREAT JOURNEY.  MY DOCTORS, MY OH FAMILY & WEB SITE, INSURANCE CO. ECT. AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY, DONE FOR MYSELF. IT WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT.

WELL ALMOST 5 MONTHS OUT, AND I FEEL GREAT. IT'S AMAZING HOW PEOPLE RESPONDS TO YOU WHEN YOU LOOSE WEIGHT. IT'S SAD B/C WHEN YOUR OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE TRULY TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY.

WHEN I LOOK AT PAST PICS, AND VIDEO TAPES IT REALLY UPSET ME TO SEE HOW LG I WAS. I LOOK AT THEM AND SAY MAN..... HOW DID I GET SO OUT OF CONTROL. NOW I FEEL LIKE IM FINALLY GETTING MY LIFE BACK.
211LBS FROM 278LBS. I FEEL SO MUCH LIGHTER. GOD IS SO GOOD, WITHOUT HIM NONE OF THIS WOUDL BE HAPPENING.

I MADE IT THROUGH THANKSGIVING, THE FIRST TIME, IN ALONG TIME I DID NOT  "OD" ON FOOD, ONE HOLIDAY DOWN & ONE TO GO.

TAKE CARE,
JENNIFER

IM IN AWE, WHEN IT COMES TO THIS WEIGHT LOSS THING. I'M NOW 216LBS, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE A DREAM. I WENT TO A STORE THE OTHER DAY (CATOS) & I WAS IN THE STORE, JUST LOOKING, AND I DECIDED TO TRY ON SOME CLOTHES, I CAN GET INTO A SIZE 14w-16w. I WAS ESTATIC, I WASN'T GOING TO BUY A THING WHEN I FIRST WENT IN, BUT THEN I THOUGHT, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN YRS,
THAT I CAN ACTUALLY BUY A SIZE 14, I HAVE TO GET IT...... JUST SO, IT CAN HANG, IN MY CLOSET.

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
JENNIFER

HELLO ALL, JUST WANTED TO SHARE...... I WENT TO THE DOCTOR LAST 
WEEK, I'M DOWN 57 LBS. I WAS 278 THE DAY OF SURGERY, NOW IM 221 LBS. I FEEL SO GOOD, WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR, I CAN'T BELEIVE MY EYES.

HELLO EVERYONE, I HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD ABOUT BLOGGING. IT'S BEEN A LIL OVER 2 MOS. SINCE SURGERY, THINGS ARE FINALLY GETTING BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS BEEN A N INTERESTING JOURNEY. I AM 40LBS DOWN. I HAVE BEEN 238 FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. SO IM GOING TO STOP WEIGHING MYSELF, B/C THAT IS VERY DISCOURAGING. IT'S CRAZY, B/C IM NOT A BIG EATTER. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD EVER SAY THAT. SOMETIMES EATTING IS A TASK. IM NOW ADDICTED TO LIPTON (DIET) GREEN TEA. THAT'S MY NEW PEPSI. MOST OF THE TIME I EAT PROTIEN BARS OR DRINK THOSE NASTY SHAKES, COTTAGE CHEESE w/ PINEAPPLES, CHICKEN, TURKEY,
OR FISH. I DON'T TOLERATE BEEF TO WELL....... OKAY YOU HAVE BEEN UPDATED. I HAVE TO GO NOW. THANKS TO MY OH FAMILY FOR YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORT. JENNIFER

THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS I HAVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF. THANKS TO ALL MY OH FRIENDS FOR YOUR ENCOUAGEMENT, AND SUPPORT. HOPEFULLY, THE NEXT TIME THAT I FREE TEXT, I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT ALL THE WEIGHT I HAVE LOST. I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER AT HOME, SO IT WILL BE AWHILE BEFORE YOR HEAR FROM ME. GOD BLESS JENNIFER
