Dec 23, 2007
Well lately things have been pretty hectic. I have still be working out and I actually see a difference in my body when I take a look at pics for about six months ago......The scale hasnt changed much but I guess I have been toning up my body....lol seeing that is really keeping me motivated. I think I can get down to two hundred lbs! I am trying to hard to make it to my goal weight on my own........pray for me!

This week starts a whole new journey for me! I started working out again but this time I have help. My co-worker (a fine one) has offered to personally train me...................wasn't that kind of him. He has made a workout schedule that I can go buy so that I can work my whole entire body. All along I feel that is what I need because I went to the gym from 4-07 until 8-07 and really didnt lose much weight. On top of it all he will be working out with me since he works out at our work gym anyway. I am very excited about at least giving it another shot. Weight loss surgery is and has always been a last resort for me. I just have to see if I can accomplish this on my own before I more forward with the band. For those of you who are interested I will keep you posted!
Hello
Nov 16, 2007
Hello all! I am hoping to be banded sometime soon. I reseached the surgery and thought that it would be right for me. I have struggled with my weight since having my first child eight years ago. I like others have tried so many diets its not even funny. I am hoping to meet friends and gain knowledge. Any helpful or useful information is more than welcomed. I look forward to getting to know you!
My Battle
Nov 07, 2007
I think one of my biggest battle with weight loss is a few things. One being that there are times I dont realize how big I am until I take pictures which I hate taking might I add. Another thing is that I question myself about will power. Do I really have the will power to lose the weight on my own? Personally I think I do but the question is am I willing to go through with it. I have so many excuses about things that I want in general. This applies not just with weight loss but anything in life that I feel I want. I am at times what you call a slow roller.....lol dont get me wrong I love myself and I think I am such a pretty girl and a beautiful person as well. I just think about the movie why did I get married lately. Jill Scott's character to be exact. The guy that ended up being her husband said" stop downing yourself about you weight and do something about it" that statement stuck in my head because thats me......always talking about my weight but never motivated enough to exersize and do anything about it. Thats why I am looking into the band but at the same time I am a planner and I always think about the future. There are even times I feel like the reason why I am single is because of my weight. Don't get me wrong I have had some decent guys in my life its just that with my weight it takes away from my personality! I am just praying and asking god to let his will be done because if its one thing I know is that if its suppose to be it will be!
what's on my mind
Sep 14, 2007
Well as bad as I want to lose weight I am making sure I do as much research as possible and also pray as I go along! I have always had a relationship with god and I know that he is the master of all masters and he def has the final say. I have been really trying to lose weight for the past six months on my own and I have been working out and practicing eating right and the whole nine yards. I just feel like this is my only choice left. I am somewhat kind of happy that the pre-approval process will most likely include a supervised diet plan which will answer some of my questions once and for all. I have to see if that will benefit me as far as weight loss is concern. I am hoping and praying that whatever choice I make in the long run leaves me with my health and strength. Surgury should never be taken lightly which is why I am being very careful and wise doing my research. Just pray and keep your fingers crossed because its one thing that I believe is that if its meant to be its meant to be and I want my blessing to come from god!
