Not much to my story other than I was pretty chubby all my life... The older I got the bigger I became. After having children I let myself go all together. Blew up to 377 pounds! I had every excuse in the book. About 3 years ago I decided that I was taking my life back. I was putting Momma first. I had gastric sleeve on June 2, 2011 one month before my 41st birthday. I will admit the surgery pretty much GAVE me the first 100 pounds, the second 100 I work my butt off for. I have worked out 3 to 5 times a week for the past two years and half years. I slip up like anyone, I will run 3 miles for a cupcake or glass of wine lol. But I keep track of pretty much everything I put in my mouth. I have a running/life coach that I report to several times a week and she truly keeps me on track. Thanks for listening to my story!

    Thanks everyone!!! Like I said.... I screw up all the time! This weekend will be an example of that. Its life I live my life in a healthier way than I did before. I work out to counter act my bad habits and I make more good choices than bad. BUT I allow myself to make bad choices now and again and not kill myself with guilt.
