Well it's been 14 months already. I just can't believe it's been that long in some ways, in others seems like a long time. I'm loving life tho. I've now lost 155.5 lbs, more than I weigh. I just can't believe it, it's wonderful, I feel great. My life has changed so much and continues to do so.  As with so many others  that I read about it's such a mind game at times. I have to really work at it, some times more than others. The want for certain types of food is still there and I really find I have to work at it everyday.  There are times when I feel like I could eat just about anything and get so scared that I might actually could, don't know, but that fear of over doing it sure never goes away. You know they tell you this is a tool and not a fix all and it's so true, and I find it to be more and more so each day but I'm so thankful for this tool. I never want to find myself back at where I came from. I have to pray everyday that God give me the strength to do this, I need his help as well as this tool I have been given. I want to eat to live now and never go back to live to eat. It feels good to be able to exercise tho and not feel as if I'm going to have a heart attack, or that my legs won't hold me up. Now I can walk two miles a day in 30 sometimes 45 minutes and still feel great when I'm finished. Life is just so much better like this. I'm so thankful. I feel as tho I still have not reached my goal, I weight 140 lbs. and would like to weigh 135 lbs. but my hubby and my family seem to think that I've lost enough so if I don't loose much more I can sure live with where I am now. Take care,  good luck to everone on this weight loss journey and everyone about to begin. God Bless!!! 

It's hard to believe it has been a year already. It's been great.  I have loved every minute of each pound that I have lost. Today I weight 149 lbs. down from 295.5 lbs. one year ago tomorrow. Thank God for helping me and being with me through it all. Thanks to my husband and to my daughter for all they have done for me and with me. Thanks to the rest of my family for all the support and being there for me. Thanks to all my family and friends for all their prayers and words of encouragment.  I couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you Dr. Jones for taking me on and doing such a good job. You took such good care of me and continue to do so. You have been such a blessing to me, I thank God for a surgeon such as you.

I am just so thankful for my new life.  

Good luck to everyone out that there that is on the same journey as me and that has been there before me and that will come after me. It's worth the journey. 

Hello everyone, thought I might update since it's been awhile. I went to see Dr. Jones for my nine month check-up on the 14 of Dec. so it actually made 10 months but we couldn't get our schedules together in Nov. so we had to put it off for a month. Judi forgive me but it was a rush visit and I had to go and come right back so I didn't get a chance to call so we could get together but I really hope to be able to do that one day. Anyway I have lost 139 lbs.. I feel so much better most of the time, however I really wore myself out over the Christmas Holidays and I have paid for it today. I was so tired I crashed yesterday around 4:30 and was down most of the day today but I'm beginning to get back up now. Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Christmas and hope the New Year will be good to everyone. 

God bless you all,
Gloria  

Today I am actually wearing a size 14, it's been years since I've seen a size 14. I'm so happy. I weighed this morning and I could actually move the scales from the 180 mark to 160, I weighed in at 179.5 lbs, which is 116 lbs. total. I just can't wait to reach my goal weight, 29.5 more lbs. to go. I think that is actually reachable. YEAH!!! I finally am actually enjoying life and loving every precious moment of it.

It's been 6.5 months now and I'm down 110 lbs. It feels fantastic, I'm wearing a 14 now, down from a 28 and that's just incrediable to me. I never thought I would loose that much weight, but right now I must admit, I worry about eventually gaining it back and that scares me. I just can't let that happen to me again. The other day my daughter asked me, Mama how did you let yourself get so big, didn't you realize you were getting that big, and honestly I didn't have an answer for her. How did I do that to myself??? Good question, something I've really been thinking about, but I do know, I can't let that happen to me again, under no circumstances. Please God help me!!!

Everyday I get in our pool with my little granddaughter and spend such good quality time with her, I am so thankful for my second chance, this time I'm determined to get it right. Most people don't get second chances and I feel like I've been given one, I want to be worthy, I want to treat my body with respect, and not abuse it.

I want to say thanks to my husband for giving me this opportunity and standing by me through all this. I am a self-pay and he hasn't even given it a second thought. Once he met Dr. Jones and his mind was put at ease he just said I was worth every penny and I thank him so much and love him more than he can possibly know. Thanks to my family and friends also for all the support and a special thanks to my daughter for taking such good care of me.

I went to the doctor Wednesday for 5.5 months and I have lost 102 lbs. and everything is great. Feeling better everyday, now I actually enjoy getting dressed and getting out instead of hibernating. Loving life.

I'm now down 93 lbs. and 5 months out. We bought a pool and now I look forward to going straight home and getting in that pool and just excerising, it's just so amazing how much I actually have the energy to do now and I find it's improving everyday. I feel like I've been re-born. Thank you Jesus!!!

I am now 4 months out and I've lost 81 lbs. Never could have imagined losing this much weight and feeling so much better, I just can't believe the things I actually feel like doing now. I used to just live to go home and change clothes and get in my recliner and just sit there till time to go to bed, well except to eat of course. But all that's changed now and I'm just loving it and so so thankful for my new life.
