She fought me tooth and nail when I told her 12 years ago that I wanted to have it done.  She eventually came around and was supportive of my decision and Now... I'm happy to say that she is FINALLY tired of being heavy herself and is taking control of her life!  She will be getting the sleeve procedure in a couple of weeks and I am very excited for her.  

 

I have told her to create an account on here so I'm hoping all of you will be as supportive of her as you were for me.  

 

BTW... Update on me... I've gone up and down over the years... After Surgery, my lowest was 154... My highest was 195!  I had a mommy makeover in 2013 that included a breast reduction and tummy tuck.  In the same year, after 7 years of being a student, I became a Licensed Zumba Instructor.  I teach 2-3 classes a week and attend as a student 2-3 classes.  I'm currently maintaining my weight between 175 - 180 with that level of exercise.  I'd like to drop another 15 pounds but I need to get back in control of my eating habits.  

 

I guess I'll be more active on this profile now that my mom will be going through this journey.  I'll try to give a more detailed update later.  Thanks

I don't know when/why I stopped taking my vitamins but I re-started this week and plan on sticking to it.  I always drink water I'm just planning on drinking MORE!  It's good for you, keeps you full and doesn't allow for silly things like soda and juices.

Have a wonderful day everyone...  I just wanted to let you know where my brain is at this morning

and on a mission to re-connect with those who supported me throughout my Weight Loss Journey.  As I noted in the last post... I've re-gained 30-40 pounds... and am NOT happy about it.  I need to re-focus and get back on track.  This message board was so helpful for me 5 years ago so I'm hoping it will do the same this time around.  I look forward to reconnecting with my Angel's, Angeletttes and all my friends from this site.  I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends as well so... Feel free to stop by any time and say hi.  Thanks.

Well... here I am again!  Going back to my 'Weight Loss Journey" roots because...  I'm slippin.

I had a very successful surgery... lost 104 pounds was happy, doing great, journaling, keeping my weight loss support system in place and then...

I stopped.

Now I've gained 40 pounds back and am not happy about it.  I'm hoping that re-visiting my life as it was a few years ago will get me back in check to do what I gotta do to get myself back to a healthy place.

I hope to update my profile here at least once a week and hope to get re-involved in getting and giving support from/to those who struggle with their weight like me.

That's it for now...  Just wanted to let you know that I was back.
