97Lbs Down In Less Than 7Months! Before And After Pics!
i threw up bile 2x. i was sent to get a swallow test which showed the leak. then had a cat scan which confirmed it. life went down hill from there. in fact, down hill isnt the right phrase because that means it gradually got worse. life basically jumped off a cliff. smh!

My Non Scale Victory! Yay!
well guys, today was my 1st time in the gym since having surgery. its been over 7 months! i took it easy & didnt go too too hard like im a body builder but i also didnt go too easy as to where i wasnt doing much. i have been in and out of gyms for about 8yrs now & i have NEVER sweat so much in my life. sweat was pouring down my face. i loved it! i also had a non scale victory! i usually do assisted pull ups because i have no upper body strength. for those of you who never used this machine, basically the more weight you add on to the machine, the easier it is & more assisted it is for you to do a pull up. you kinda have to climb up onto the machine. anyway, before at 273, i would put it at the heaviest & as soon as i kneeled on the machine, it would start going down! well, because im 97lbs down, i put it at the heaviest & the machine didnt even move!!!!! lol. i was too light! wow. it felt amazing! i smiled like lol so i changed my short term goal. before it was to lose 11lbs in 41days. it is now to lose 21lbs in 41days. if i dont meet my goal, thats fine! i know ive lost a lot of weight & still have to work very hard but if i do meet it, omg! id be so happy!!!

i was thinking about my short term goal last night & i think i want to change it. im scared to in fear i wont meet it but i think its some what realistic! i said i wanted to be 165 or below by my 24th birthday which is aug 26th. thats 11 pounds in 1 month & 10 days. im going to start hitting the gym today for the 1st time ever since surgery. my boyfriends a personal trainer & body builder so hewill be training me. i think i want to change it so that im 165 or below by my 10yr anniversary (aug 17th) & be 155 by my birthday which is 21lbs in 41days. im going to be weight training & doing cardio + upping my Protein & cutting out sweets! when training & eating better, i usually lose 4-8lbs the 1st week & then about 2-4lbs every week after that. if i lose more than 4 the first week & keep the # @ 3 every week after, ill reach my goal! every yr, i diet & diet for my birthday & never weighed less than 218! this year, i could possibly be 63lbs lighter than what my lowest was!

youre very welcome love!! my back pain wasso bad that i used to have to take pain meds because it would feel like i was sleeping on rocks! my chiro said that the fat was crushing my back. i was so very insecure. im turning 24 & i felt like i was 50! i knew my weight wouldnt stop going up & down & i needed something to stop it because if not, at 30, id probably be dead! im only 5'1 and weighed 273! it wasnt good. my surgery experience was hell & if i had to do it again, i honestly wouldnt because of my experience with the leak but im glad i did it because it saved my life in the long run! if you have any questions, feel free to inbox me.
