Go to the forums (Website Assistance) and ask Ken to delete them for you. TY for wanting to become part of this forum. We need active peeps here who post inspirational stuff for all!

I really do appreciate you explaining it to me! I’m currently on my phone and trying to figure out how to delete the posts that I made in the other forums! I don’t want to come across as spamy at all! That’s never my intention!! We can never have too many people helping others!!!!

Wow, Maddie, you are an inspiration to us all! You were beautiful BEFORE your weight loss but now you look so full of life!

Yikes. I apologize. I didn’t realize it worked like that here with the recent posts and such. I really have the best intentions and only want to help people. I make zero money off of any of my services or website. I have no ads. If people shop my links on my website I may make a small commission, but it’s pennies. I’m very sorry. I will be contributing to this platform- just like I do with Instagram. I have built my following on Instagram from zero and help many people there for free.

I just watched your unstuffed cabbage roll video. It's similar to a recipe I make so I will be trying it this weekend. Thanks for the video/recipe. By the way, congrats on your weight loss and you look amazing.

I have struggled with my weight since I was five years old. Late in 2016- at 28 years old at my heaviest weight- I had my first appointment with a bariatric surgeon in Akron, Ohio where I live and began the steps towards gastric bypass. I was so scared. But I knew that I would rather risk my life than live like this forever. I feared that my parents would bury me in 20 years and that my sister would become an only child. I knew I had to do something. I had tried everything. Between the ages of 8-28 I had tried everything under the sun. I could not lose/maintain the weight loss.

On June 26, 2017- I had gastric bypass surgery. I have lost/maintained 180 pound weight loss. I have a whole new life. It is quite beautiful. I look forward to living everyday. I share my journey on Instagram - (my name on there is Maddie5088) and I also have a public Facebook Page called Mornings with Maddie.
