These pictures are proof of my journey. I worked hard, changed my lifestyle and am now ready to complete my weightloss journey on March 5th 2012. The last picture is me October 8th 2011 at 192 pounds. I have learned so much about myself in this process and now it's time for me to ask for help. I am having the extra skin from my upper body removed and having a hernia repair in march and since it is cosmetic I am not getting help from the insurance company. I am working 2 jobs, doing hair and waxing on the side and babysitting on the weekends. I also am teaching a nutrition workshop and have a few friends who are having success following personalized weightloss plans from me. I am doing everything in my power to make this dream come true.

    What a weight loss!! How did you do this and how long did it take you to lose the weight?
    I WAS 430 POUNDS AT 17, HAD THE GASTRIC BYPASS AND GOT DOWN TO 290. I WENT THROUGH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE AND DIDN'T DEAL WITH IT. I BEGAN BINGE EATING AND BY THE TIME I WAS 21 I WAS BACK UP TO 350-380. ONLY WORRIED WHEN MY SIZE 28 PANTS GOT TIGHT. IT WAS AT MY BROTHERS WEDDING WHERE I HAD MY "MOMENT" MAY 9TH 2009 I STARTED FROM 370-ISH. I DIDN'T HAVE A SCALE THAT WENT OVER 350. I WAS A 26/28
    OCTOBER OF 2011 I HIT 192. MY SURGEON TOLD ME TO STOP LOSING WEIGHT AS I HAVE 30 POUNDS OF EXCESS SKIN AND WILL LOSE EVEN MORE WEIGHT WHILE RECOVERING. I STOPPED EATING FAST FOOD, THEN AS TIME WENT ON GAVE UP SODA. SWITCHED TO WHOLE GRAIN, AVOIDED PROCESSED FOODS AND REALLY GOT INTO WORKIN GOUT. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST TOOL. MOVING AND FINDING WAYS TO KEEP SNEAKING IN WORKOUTS. WATER, PATIENCE AND A GREAT SUPPORT TEAM. IT'S POSSIBLE. ANYTHING IS. SOUNDS CHEESY BUT I AM HERE SAYING IT.
