Feb 2016 Ok, My story = Well, some of you have been with me for a long time but some of you are new friends. Many of you may not realize my past "glories" (lol) a couple of years ago I lost 98 pounds in one year by exercising and low carb. I was so happy and boy my doctor was happy with me too! Then my Daddy died and my world fell apart. I regained all I had lost and then some. I have restarted my journey as of February 2016. At this point...well I am nearly bed bound, I can barely walk and I must lose weight. my weight at restart is 435 pounds give or take a pound. I really want to do this so that my hubby does not have to be my caretaker anymore.

I just want to be comfortable in my own skin. To be able to walk around in the stores. To be able to take care of myself without help. I want to LIVE

my plan in the past has been old-fashioned count calories and exercise. It took off over 100 pounds, I have been slipping and am now on track to have Gastric sleeve weight loss surgery BMI 2020 January 21st 2020 = 53.9 2019 July 30th 2019 = 54.8 May 25th 2019 = 52 January 5th 2019 = 48.9 2018 August 25th 2018 = 48.9 August 11th 2018 = 49.6 April 24th 2018 = 52.5 2017 whole year = 56.4 2016 October 18th 2016 = 54.2 June 3rd 2016 = 57.6 May 12th 2016 = 60.8 May 2nd 2016 = 63.9 Feb 1st 2016 = 68.1
