My weight loss journey began in November 2014. This has been a wonderful journey. I have watched my body change from being morbid obese to seeing the true contour of my body. Here are some pictures of my amazing results. I have loss 108 pounds so far and have about 34 more to go. Life is truly wonderful on the losers bench and I am enjoying everyday even more.

Thanks all

Thank you

One year ago today I had gastric sleeve and the removal of my gallbladder surgery. One year later, I have lost a total of 96 pounds. I feel great, look great, and will continue on with my weight lost journey. I can't say that this journey has been easy because it has not. Losing weight and keeping it off is a choice that I make daily. I choose to eat foods that will aid in my weight lost. Now I can't say I don't occasionally have cake, pies, Cookies and ice cream because I do. I don't believe in depriving myself of foods I enjoy eating however I know how to control my portions and not over indulge in it. My diet consist of almost 95% unprocessed food. I love eating fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat. My blood levels started off really good although I continue to have low Vitamin D. My last test results revealed low thiamine and too much vitamin B12, imagine that. I don't eat bread and that is what may cause my low thiamine therefore I have since begun to take a supplement for it. Taking your supplements is key in not becoming malnutrition. Also following the instructions of your nutritionist and surgeon. They truly have your best interest at heart. Life this past year has been really good on this side of the losers bench. I hope everyone on this journey is having a great experience. If not, just keep at it. Never give up! Don't be afraid to try new things......Live outside that box that confined you for so long. Here's to the Losers......on the Losers Bench!
