My weight loss journey began in 2004. I had Gastric Bypass surgery weighing in at 500lbs (my heaviest). I was tired, depressed, and unhealthy. I got down to my smallest weight of 170 lbs., it took me 3 and 1/2 years . It was great but I looked terrible. I had no curves, no hips, no boobs. I gained a few pounds and stayed at 187 lbs. I was happy. I could wear what I want and feel great wearing it. I always saw myself being bigger then what I actually was.. (Fast forward to 2007) I was pregnant with my son and only gained 15 lbs. because he was premature, it was a very hard pregnancy. (Fast forward AGAIN to 2014) I was pregnant with my daughter. I carried her to term but was on COMPLETE bed rest. I gained 70 lbs. It took me a year to lose some weight but I was able to get 50 lbs. of the 70 lbs. off. I've been through some really stressful times and I needed some help, And here I am!. I know I can lose the weight, I just need motivation and support from others. I need inspiration and hope!
