My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!

After a long plateau, yesterday I finally hit my 100 pounds lost mark!
To some folks around me, they were like "Oh, thats great." No fanfare, no whoopla, nothing.. I wanted to scream "I DID IT! I LOST A HUNDRED POUNDS!" But to those who have not been morbidly obese, the diffrence between last week at 97 pounds down and 100 this week is not that grand. (My husband has been telling others that I have lost "about a hundred" for a month or so.) So to them, no big deal.
Not so, with me. It is such a big deal! I have never lost a hundred pounds before. It proves that the surgery works. That I am working it! I am two thirds of the way to goal. 50 more pounds and I will be at my goal weight. DAMN!
Yes, it's just a number but it is a BIG number I want to celebrate!!

YEAH BARB! You have every reason in the world to celebrate, leap for joy, strut around, take our a billboard and scream it out your car window. I wanted to wear a shirt that said, "I have officially lost 100 pounds!" :)
Keep up the great work!
