For the first time in forever I weigh in the 150's! Stood on the scale and it said 155lb! I had to stand on it 6 times to make sure I was reading it right! I also am fitting in an size 9. What was the best part is my Ex husband saw me and couldn't beleive his eyes.What was great he flirted and all I could think is eat your heart out! It was great!

First of all 15 months out and I still feel GREAT! I know I haven't been around much but so much has gone on and being a single mom of 6 JUST SUCKS! I had to have a hysterectomy about 7 weeks ago and had compilations,BUT I'm fine now. I'm just now getting to were I feel good again! I still can't get over home much I have changed in just a year. It's amazing! I looked at my before picture just a few mins ago and had to laugh. Can't beleive  that was me! One thing for sure,I'll never forget where I started and the road I have been on to get where I am today. I still have some weight to lose but with all that went on with me,I'm ok with I haven't lost it yet. ANYWAYS I  just wanted 2 drop by and say HI! Hope all is well!

HELLO AGAIn

Well I'll be a year out in April. I'm not where I want to be. I need to lose 30lb. When my hubby left for Iraq I fail off the waggon and can't seam to find my way back.  I try... I really do but being a single mom of 6 kids is so hard. I just want things that are quick and easy.Yeah so I have fallen into buying fast food 3 or 4 x's a week. I know I shouldn't but we get so busy doing this and that. I KNOW EXCUESS. I just don't know how to find my way back. I'm so tired all the time. I know I don't eat enough protein like I should. I don't think it's just not getting the protein and can't seam to find a doctor who will give me a B12 shot.WHY I DON'T KNOW.They don't think I need it. WELL I DO! When your tired you just don't feel like doing crap. It's bad enough I have to make myself run after quads all day long. I just don't know what to do anymore.I'm happy with the 123lb I did lose but I want to lose the rest.

Hey ALL! I haven't had much time to keep in touch or keep an update.I sure do miss talking to ya'll and getting support.This time in my life I could really use it.It's been hard being a single parent.I know the good Lord will see me threw he always has.I have really slacked off for the last 3 months and I'm trying to get back on track but it isn't easy once you lose your way.Someone come give me a good kick in the a$$ so maybe that will help!I'm putting the quads in daycare at least 2 X's a week. I really just need sometime for myself.I know that sounds bad but what I am 2 do? I never have any me time and it's wearing on me.To tired to do anything and yet I have to make myself.Most days I feel like I'm on auto polite.It's like I'm here physically but not mentally.I would like to keep typing but I have a son who likes to beat up the his brothers and sisters.So off to play mommy!

My Story

Hey All,

 

This is my journey to a new me!I am 280lb mother of 6 sometimes I say 7.4 girls and 2 boys!but if you count the hubby thats 3 boys!I like to tell people,I'm married but a single mom of 7!LOL.I had quadruplets 16 months ago and I have a 9 year old and a 4 year old!I have ALWAYS had problems with my weight going up and down all my life.I could drop 30lb and gain 80 back if not more.The last 5 years, I just keep gaining and gaining.I'm so missable,embarrassed,disgusted by myself. I have hid myself behind closed doors.Missing out on life and wactching my kids grow up from the side lines.I want so much to be able to participate in there lives with out being so tired,so out of breath,walk with out huffing and puffing,so HUNGRY all the time.Most of you know what I mean.People staring at you,every move you make.Can't go out to eat without others staring and snickering.Have to sit at a table cause your to big for a booth.I know,you get the point.I have been looking into this weight loss surgery for months now.The other day I went to my pcp and he thinks I'm a great candidate for the surgery.I know this isn't a quick fix,it's a tool to help me.I go to my first WLS meeting on Feb.8th.I can't wait.I'm so ready to start a new me.Be active in life again.My husband and my parents are 100% behind me in my dissection.But,there are thoes who are so negative about it.I love how it's always thoes SKINNY people who say "DON'T DO IT"They don't know what it's like.Diet and excise isn't as easy for us as it is for them.Being obesity isn't a fad or a want to be,it's a real disease.You know,I'll stop there.LOL I have issues with stupid people.LOL.ok.Well my goal here is to get the surgery,lose over 130lb and meet some new people! If you would like to see me threw my journey,Just drop me a line or 2!I don't bite but I might nibble a bit!jk
