Yes I've lost a lot of weight...

I've had a couple of people ask me about my weight loss since I've said a couple of times that I've lost over 100 lbs. Well I've lost
267 the first go round
60 before I came here to MFP and 12 since I've been here.
That's 339, but who's counting!

This is me on March 15th 2004 at 385lbs



I had gastric bypass, I thought it was the only thing left. I had tried everything else even an inpatient 800 calorie per day program. I was there 2 weeks, gained 14 the first week and 12 the second. They decided something was wrong so sent me for every test imaginable and still could find no reason for my rapid gains. I did not eat much, had been on calorie restricted diets for years and was still gaining, the only times I ever lost weight was when I was pregnant.

This is me a year later at 118 lbs

I was very sick, in and out of the hospital for a year, had to be scoped several times to have strictures removed over the next 4 years.

In 2009 I was finally able to eat normally again and began to gain weight even though I could only eat small meals and rarely went over 1000 calories per day.

I got back to 285 before I was finally diagnosed with a carbohydrate intolerance (lack of digestive enzymes needed to process carbohydrates).
I started restricting carbs and this is me right around mid October of 2011 at 250lbs


I've been here at MFP for a month today and I've lost 12 lbs and over 20 inches and am now at 213lbs. MFP has helped me monitor my carb intake and since I came here I've become extremely active and I'm loving every minute of it! When I finish day 10 of 30DS tomorrow, I have some more pics for ya.
