  1. I've Changed for the better

    · jlg · 10/23/2010 14:19

    Hey, it's been a while, almost a year actually and I have had several setbacks. Despite starting this journey to weight loss with my husband, I am now divorced. If you remember we had the surgery done together and he was at a high weight of 312, well now he is down to 212 now and we are divorced. He lost the weight and lost his damn mind and cheated. Needless to say, it really took a toll on me and I literally ate myself back up to 213 lbs :w00t:. After all of the crying and yelling and then finally the divorce in June 2010, I am starting to get back to me.
     
    While my recent pics show that I am doing great, that scale isn't giving me the number that I need. I actually got down to 176, but through this painful experience I literally had to have an ECG done where the doctor had to take everything out of my band back in August of this year. I had expanded my pouch and it was swollen like crazy. I had my first fill since then just last week and I am headed in the right direction. I am now weighing 206. My biggest turning point was when I had some extra cash and wanted to go shopping and realized that I had to SQUEEZE into my size 16's and actually had to go shopping for some size 18's:cursing:. I actually broke down in Lane Bryant. I just knew that I was finished with them.
     
    Needless to say, I am refocused and determined to get to 170 :smile2:. WHile I know it will take me until around January to do that, it will be fine with me. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.
     
    I have also decided to have a photo shoot of myself every 4 months, so I can see the progress and continue to celebrate myself in pictures. :smile2:

  2. The Reincarnation of Jennifer

    · jlg · 12/31/2008 03:56

    It's December 30, 2008 and I am on a mission; a mission to change my life, improve my health and to be happy for 2009. It's time for me to find the inner skinney girl who has been dying to come out for so long. I've gone from a high of 267 to 204 which is where I am now. I am so proud of myself. I no longer have a double chin and I have gone from a size 22/24 to a loose 18 and almost a nice fitting 16. Can it get any better.
     
    Yes, it can, because I will eventually get to at least a size 12. My ultimate goal is to get to goal weight of 150lbs. Wish me luck.
     
    Jen
