Down 196 lbs in 20 months

Here's my story....

I was born small for my height. I weight 5lbs 5oz and was 20 inches long. In 1976 that was still long and skinny. Well I stayed that way till puberty. 5th grade hit me and suddenly I was wearing size 2 jeans and a dd bra. I've never been tiny up top. Middle school came and went and I slowly gained weight but mostly muscle. I was active and never sat still but was the life of the party with my huge top half. Well I got pregnant at 17. Lost the weight right after was back in my 13 s and looked great. Married the baby's dad then proceeded to spit out 3 more kids for him in 5 years. Gained almost 100 lbs and no amount of trying could get it off me. 2000 came around and I divorced then met one of my soulmates. We married and in 3 years I had 2 more babies. I was starting to lose the weight and was down to 250 when he died. I gave up. I figured that no other man would want me why should I try. I dove head first into food. I could drown my sorrows in food without anyone saying shit cuz I could still take care of my kids. Fast forward 7 years. I met my now husband and we hit it off. It was like love at first sight but neither of us would admit it. We moved fast but cautious. Met in March married in September. But by December he was deployed to Afghanistan. That's when he decided to drop a bomb on me. "I want you to lose weight and be healthy so I have you around longer!" Yeah that's what he said to me. So I started going to the gym 5x a week. I put my sexual aggravation into the gym till march of 2013 when all of the sudden my abdomen hurt. I went to the docs and found out I had a lower pelvic hernia and they couldn't fix it unless I lost an extreme amount of weight. Sooo next door he sends me and I have RNY in July after starting the diet in May. Now 20 months later I am 196 lbs lighter and feel 10 years younger!

Congratulations on your progress! I am glad to hear you are feeling better and I am guessing your hubby is pretty excited about your health as well.
