About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a 41 year old married mother of 3. I have an 20 y.o. son who is in college for computer science/forensics. In addition, I have 2 beautiful daughters aged 14 and 12. As for me, I am a disabled RN (I was diagnosed with MS in 2002). I have struggled with obesity since childhood. In 1995 I had gastric bypass surgery with which I lost 120 pounds. However, as I got pregnant too soon, the doctor told me I would have to eat more to stretch out my stomach as the baby was not doing well. (He did tell me I could get an abortion instead, but that was not an option for me. To his credit, milkshakes and other options were offered me, but I did not tolerate milk products until recently, and so stretching out my stomach was the only available option to me). Consequently, I am back close to my starting weight and desperately trying to get it all back off as I don't want to undergo another round of bariatric surgery. What really got me started again was needing to lose weight for a medical procedure that hopefully will curtail the searing pain I have on a daily basis. In order to have this done, my doctor told me I'd need to get under 300 pounds. This may not seem like an effort, but for me the task is nearly daunting. I've been on so many diets and with a failed gastric bypass under my belt, I am not sure this will work. Well, I fully intend to give it my all, hope and pray for the best. Wish me luck!

04/07/10-- I did it! I got under 300# this week! Woo Hoo!
12/13/10-- OMG...100.8 pounds lost total... this is amazing!
