amykins 202 Posted July 28, 2012 Glad you're doing so well. I wish I had been brave enough to do this years ago. You're one of my heroes now! Take care of yourself and don't try to do too much too soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KS Fort Worth 86 Posted July 28, 2012 You're going to be quite the inspiration to other young people to take control of their eating lives, and stop letting it control you. I considered weight loss surgery years ago, but convinced myself I could lose it on my own. I failed. So, like so many others here, my only regret so far is not doing this sooner.

Xxx awe thank you :] and yes its Called Wellspring. I looked into it a long time ago, i was like 11. I had to raise 6thousdand dollars for me to go for a month. I was on my local radio twice and worked hard for the money for two years. It was an experince of a lifetime, but it wasnt realistic. THey had us moveing constatnly from 6am ...no real person does that, they have school, work, kids even. I lost 37pounds in a month, came home (Im from Saginaw,Michigan) mantained my weight for 4months and school just took over and i slowly slumped back into my old ways.
