Pictures. One year apart.
Mother's Day 2014 and Mother's Day 2015. My highest known weight was 317lbs (I'm a smidge lighter in the "before" pic). One year later, 9 months post-op, I am 170lbs. I run. I run so much, in fact, that I am running a half-marathon in 7 days! I've lost as much as my 14 year old weighs! Feeling very grateful today!

He was very happy with my weight loss track. He encouraged me to come in weekly to get weighed by the LNAs - I guess that's one way to keep me accountable! We…

I'm better than the junk food that I used to choose. I'm done with the couch over the gym. I'm done being proud of myself for hauling my fat *kitten* up the mountain - I…
