So since I finally gotten the pictures to work I thought I would post you my success. I started this journey about the day I was born. I struggled my entire life trying to lose weight , doing all the fad diets and all the programs... everything worked... for a bit anyway, then I would loose interest and gain it all back.

Along the way I delt with thyroid cancer wich made me gain 50 pounds of weight until the meds got under control. and then it was my liver... stage one liver disease from being overweight too long... so with "a little help" I have lost 68 pounds now, and I am still on my journey downward. I am learning what it is like to shop in the normal section instead of heading right to the plus size department, and I am trying to get used to the new me... It is a very strange experience being "thin" or almost thin for the first time EVER. Its the NEW ME! and I am LOVING IT!

Thanks for taking the time to look!
~Jessica
