Hey everyone... I had my surgery this morning to get my tumor on my right inner thigh removed-done!!! BEHIND ME!!! yay...Can you tell Im happy  It weighed a little more than TWO FREAKIN POUNDS...how crazy is that?! Anyways, for those who dont know the story behind that...I had a tumor on my upper inner thigh---way upper-like by my "girl part" to put it nicely  I had it removed 3 years ago...but apparently it came back and never really went away..I had a HUGE wad of what looked like skin hanging from there and I couldn't wear shorts or any type of shirt that wasnt long enough that went past my tumor to cover it b/c it pooched out and looked nasty....As the dr said it looked as if I had a testicle,lol I DIDNT...but it was that nasty! So I have been very very self conscience about this thing for years...and been waiting for the day to get rid of it...and so that was today !!! Everything went very good!! I was at the hosptial less than 3 hours and I dont have very much pain tonight.... So thank you Jesus  


Also, Need to mention...My BFF (and my angel, whom I met on here) Leslie got approved for her surgery and is suppose to have it on the 19th...next Thursday. So I am stoked for her and cannot wait for her to get that behind her! She is very deserving of it...so all my friends on here that are reading this -please keep her in your prayers...and you can go to her page and leave her some well-wishes if you'd like!  She is really really nervous -although she is going to be ok

-128 POUNDS!!!!

I'VE MADE IT ONE YEAR!!!! An what a year it has been. I am down -125 pounds and a BMI of 35. I am still doing my walking, 5 miles every single morning. I couldnt be happier..well I could, but this will do
I am wearing the 18's still...I havent ventured to go down anymore...Im sure Im not ready for it yet.....but I will be! 
This surgery was the best thing I could have ever bought myself. It has brought me much of my happiness back...I FINALLY shed the dang jacket about 2 months ago....I wasnt ok with it at 1st, but I told myself, I pd 30,000 for this surgery, and have lost well over 100lbs-why am I still in this god awful thing? I should be proud..and I am! So I took it off and havent put it back on....I took some new photos -the ones with the long red shirt. I cried when I sat here and looked at them and my post op morning of surgery pics. I just cant believe the difference in my face I see. I looked so miserable and sad there, and I was. It just makes me so sad to know I had let myself get that out of control...and the sad thing, I never thought I looked my weight! until now......I looked every pound of it! 
anyways....I will continue to push to lose the weight and keep this updated...

I had every intention to get on here yesterday and update..but I didnt.
WELL.............I FINALLY can wear an 18! I went to old navy yesterday and I was like hmmm those are cute..so I looked at all the sizes and the biggest was an 18..(& they arent stretch) .so I told rickey, well let me go and try these on to see how tight they are...to my suprise they buttoned and zipped without me laying down and sucking in,lol....I WAS SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!  I haven't worn an 18 since....well maybe my freshman year in high school.  So I guess I havent been losing pounds this past week but inches.... but I am down probably about -115. From day to day it changes....Im assuming at that time of the month I gain a few pounds, so I am giving the scale room for error ;)..but -115 has been the lowest it has showed me so far...which is good....My goal but summer was to lose 120..I am getting close..I hope I can meet that!!!

Hey everyone. I am doing good. I just through trying to convert to the new layout so I thought I should update....
I am almost 11 months out.WOW this year flew by!  I have lost...well depends on the day anywhere from -105 to -110...give or take....so it just depends..I just checked my BMI since I wont post my preop weight yet,lol I have went from a BMI of 52 to a 37.3..I an no longer "SUPER OBESE" im just "OBESE" lol what a nice feeling ..haha. I have stepped my exercising up quite a bit....as you may have read in the my story section..I am walking no less than 3 miles a day, normally 4 though. I feel great b/c of this! It makes my day go better .... 
I for the 1st time in a long time can wear a size 20. I know that isnt to small,lol by no means, but I wore a 22 my senior year! So I am proud!!! They are just a little snug right now, but give me another week or two!  Thank God I am tall,lol b./c I am able to pull this weight thing off better...Im about 5'10.. so 
But things are going smoothly right now..I am kinda at the stage where I am having to really fight and push to get the weight off. I do get hungry and I can eat a lot more now, so I am having to be careful ! at supper time or any meal, I put my food on a sauser plate, and I know thats all I can have...that really helps me. I still snack...but I am trying to snack a little healthier. I eat a lot of pickles! Dr. Jones had told me I could eat a whole jar a day an they wouldnt hurt me..I dont by no means, but Im just saying...I have been into them 100 pack calorie snacks also...they are pretty good! 
I have just really been trying to puch myself this past month to get to where I wanted to be by my year mark...which I dont think I will do....but Im not qutting or giving up....It took this long for me to actually realize how much I spent on this surgery to just sit here and not exercise! What a fool !!! But I wish you all the best and hope all is well...I will update soon

March 26, 2007~ Hey everyone. Well sorrry it has been awhile since I have written an update..but I was kinda waiting for me to drop some pounds...I was in that slump FOREVER!!! So it has been over 9 months since my surgery, I am down 96lbs! That is really good for me, lol b/c I lost 10lbs in a week!!! OF COURSE, I started taking a fluid pill to, haha....But I don't care as long as the weight is coming off--I could care less how...I am doing good though ..I am going to see a surgeon tomorrow about getting a tumor removed from my thigh...

January 30, 2007~ Hi everyone..well I havent updated in a long time just b/c I havent really lost anything..I am down around 85pounds..its super slow. and I totally know its how I eat.

November 29, 2006~ Hey..well I went to see my surgeon the other day for my check up...he said I was doing really good..Kinda slow but doing good! He said I am losing about 3 1/2 percent of my body fat a month and the average joe loses about 3-5% a month...so I am on the slower end, but most important I am losing! He said I needa step up on the exercising which I knew,lol but It is really hard right now to find the time ..well until i reach the 6month mark I will TTYL
