I decided last june 2016 to finally do something about my weight, seemed like i puffed and panted when trying to do thing i used to love. My kids could see at the beach it was a struggle to take long walks, i would have to rest, i have a 3 year old granddaughter and i just couldn't play with her like I wanted to, my knees, my back would be in constant pain. I went to the seminar in june. I weighed 290 lbs and started the process, following the nutrition guildline where hard writhing everything down but slowely things started to fall in place . In August 2016 my house burnt down and we lost everything that's when i really got serious no food, i started living on Peanut Butter and jelly sandwiches​ , we moved Oct into a new house and I actually was scared that now i could cook, i would backslide but nope,

I got approved Feb 2017 for surgery and my surgery is scheduled April 4th gastric sleeve and gall bladder removed. Im excited!!!

My start weight was 290 currenty im 260.
