Hello! My name is Beth and I hail from WI. Weight is something I struggled with most of life. I was able to lose weight, but then I'd gain it back. Then in 2006 I discovered www.sparkpeople.com and I lost 53 pounds in 8 months. But unfortunately I went back to my bad habits once life got stressful and gained it back and then some. I always went back to Sparkpeople, but I never did as well as I did the first time. However, it did teach me about nutrition and exercise, information that would help me when I had my surgery. So anyway, then I got a full-time office job and I ballooned to my heaviest weight: 332. I got health insurance and went to see a doctor about several things including my weight. He suggested gastric bypass, and at first I said no, but he asked me to think about it. So I did and thought, what have I got to lose, besides my weight? So I had it done on September 21st, 2009 and I have to say it's the best thing I ever could have done for myself! I have gone (currently) from 332 to 183 and I feel sooooo much better about myself now. My eating habits have vastly improved and I did have some setbacks but am now working to get back to working out 3 days a week. My life now is the best it has ever, ever been!!
