Hi OH Family, It's been a while since I've posted to my blog...i've been busy, busy...from work to the gym, spend time with family to repeat the same routine....but I'm proud to say that I'm only 13lbs from the goal weight that i desire of 165lbs...doctor wanted me down to 180 so i have surpassed and achieved his goal for me...I'm truly estactic about the weight loss journey and how it has changed me and my family lives...my hubby just join the loser bench on June 24th so we're really in this thing together now...he had his two week checkup on Wednesday and he was down 32lbs so he was very excited and I was too...the doctor released him to exercise with no restrictions so today we will our first day back at the gym together...it was different without him...because he's my strength training coachso I know that i will be a little exhausted tonight but it will pay off...Just return from Orlando...and looking forward to going back in April when the hubby will be able to enjoy himself more since he was recovering from surgery this visit....So until next time OH Family that's my update

I'm not sure where to start at now...I chose this topic...because that's the name of the 6 month program that I was required to attend for my insurance company.....before my packet from the surgeon office can be submitted to them...so guess what it's almost the end of June so my  6 months is up...but guess what...something had to go wrong...when I started the program in January...the instructors for the Gym where this program is at held at, just tell you, that you are required to at least 12 times a month...which i did every month....but what they didn't tell me that the five classes that i attended to find out about this program doesn't count...because we didn't physically exercise at least 45 mins...we just recieved information on the program...oh yeah so now for the 17 times I went the month of January doesn't count..because of what...AH HA...you only physically came in and exercised 11 times this month....OH NOW YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME...WTF....no we're not, you must go for the month of July  (are you serious for one missed exercise day)...I am thankful for your insurance...and I appreciate all that comes with my insurance...but really people the month of July...so guess what birthday in August you WILL NOT have the big gift that you wanted...because I'll be busting my @$$ at the GYM...so i'll be getting FIT like I have been within the last six months...OH WELL (I MUST CONTINUE TO SAY POSITIVE ENERGY BRING POSITIVE THINGS and my day on the loser's bench will come...and I'm ready...I have trained myself to eat the way I will have to after my procedure) so the weight is coming off and I like that....

WELL, WELL, WELL...THIS JOURNEY IS GETTING CLOSER QUICKLY....I ONLY HAVE TO ATTEND TWO APPOINTMENTS BEFORE I GET MY SURGERY DATE...I ONLY HAVE TO SEE THE DIETITICIAN ON MAY 30TH, 2012 AND I HAVE MY PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION ON JUNE 11TH, 2012 THEN I GET MY DATE.....I'M SO READY...BEEN ON THIS JOURNEY FOR A WHILE NOW...FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES I HAD TO COMPLETE THE SIX MONTH HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM AND IT IS COMING TO AN END NOW...SO I'M READY TO GET TO THE LOSERS BENCH....I'M BUYING ITEMS FOR MY FIRST WEEK AND GETTING ALL OF MY COPAYS READY....200.00 FOR DIETITICIAN....35.00 FOR PYSCH EVAL...AND 532.50 FOR SURGEON...GOSH I'M SO READY FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE...I'LL BE ESTATIC FOR THIS SURGERY TO HAPPEN IN JUNE AND FOR ME TO BE IN A SIZE 16 BY CHRISTMAS....IF SO HOLY SMOKES...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME....I'M SO READY...PRAY THAT MY JOURNEY BE A SUCCESS OH FAMILY...IT'LL BE MY FIRST SURGICAL PROCEDURE....BUT I KNOW MY GOD HAS HIS HANDS WRAPPED AROUND ME THROUGH THIS WHOLE JOURNEY....BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER LEAVE ME OR FORSAKE ME...OR BUT MORE ON ME THAN I CAN BEAR....TO HIM I GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE HIM NAME CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY

APRIL 26, 2012.... Hi OH family, just wanted to give an update on my WLS process thus far...Well, I go in for my consult on the 26th and I'm so excited, can't wait until it all said and done...I guess it should go by rather quickly the lady that called me from the surgical office, already informed me that she talked to my insurance company and what the portion will be that I have to pay...and needless to say...i'm satisfied and overjoyed with the amount...I couldn't ask God for a better life changing blessing...

Hello OH family, just wanted to give you an update on my journey.....Well last week I attended orientation requirements to begin the healthy living program  as required by my insurance company for wls. Went back Friday to give weight and required initial body measurements. I'm so excited that I will begin excersing this week and then continue on for the next three months, then I can call the surgeon office to get my consultation with surgeon in April to see when my surgery will take place...really hoping it be in April or the early part of May, because my sister will be getting married June 23rd and I would love to have some weight off by then, if not I'll still be happy because I know my journey has officially started...........

Today is the day I received a phone call with great news from the surgeon office on how much my copay would be for my procedure and what steps I have to take before coming in for my consultation and receiving my surgery date......with my insurance I have to enroll in a Lifestyle Management A(exercise) program , then after I have been in it for three months, I get to call and get my appt to begin my journey to dropping useless weight.....I'm EXCITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEDDDD.... the only bummer is the next class for the program doesn't start until January.......So prayerfully, I will be having this procedure a couple months before my birthday, so I can turn away from the plus size section before then.

I just thought i would blog about the reason why I'm taking the step to lose the weight, my weight tends to fluctuate up and down throughout the past year....my weight goes up and down all the time, my heaviest being now....272...I really didn't think it was that much but it really is unless my scale continues to lie, it could be more or it could be less..but I'm going with that number...just ready to begin a new journey to a healthier energetic me......because I'm already beautiful...and I listed that title, because I others around me who thinks that you can't be big and beautiful which you truly can...if my son would not have broken my digital camera, i would have uploaded some pictures for y'all to see...but eventually i will get around to posting a before picture, so when my transition begins to take place in twentytwelve, you'll be able to see the difference...trust me don't get tired of the pics, because I'm a photographic fien.......until later take care OH family
