So I've had the app for a while, just never used this section of the app. So here's my former intro! :)

A little about me, I am 23 years old and a mommy to 2 amazing kiddos!
A year ago I was weighing 232lbs, for 5'0" that was super harsh on my body and my life overall!
I decided to take action and change my lifestyle, for my kids! I tried dieting for a long time, I did the whole gym thing, I just couldn't loose the weight. My back problems and knee problems wouldn't allow me to work out the way I needed/wanted to.
I researched my options and decided I wanted to get a Gastric Sleeve. I found the doctor I wanted, went to his seminar here in Houston in December 2015 and BOOKED IT then and there!
I got my gastric sleeve done by Dr. Ismael Cabrera @ Mexico Bariatric Center in Tijuana Mexico on February 18th, 2016. It was the best decision OF MY LIFE. Everything went great, the doctor is amazing, the staff is amazing, and I had overall a nice and easy experience while staying in Mexico.

Fast forward almost a year later, today I weighed 134lbs! Today was my first day officially back in the gym in FOUR months. I had plastic surgery (cosmetic/nothing to do with my sleeve) and my plastic surgeon didn't allow me to work out until completely healed.
I feel great, I am in love with my new body and my new life! The gym is fun now, and it's a breeze! I can run! I can work out however I want. I will always have back/knee problems but my back no longer hurts when working out, neither do my knees! I'm not hyperventilating 5minutes into a work out!
I still have 14lbs to get to my goal weight of 120, but I'll get there. :)

I'm looking to make friends/work out buddies! I really wanna focus on toning my body now and just staying healthy.
Hope everyone is having an awesome start of the year, and make everyday count towards your goals!
