I made the news with my lap band story! Grammy nominated singer Jordin Sparks took me on a shopping spree!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share some interesting news! So basically I entered Jordin Sparks "Because of you" contest where I had to explain who inspired me and what have I done to inspire others. I spoke about my lap band weight loss journey and how my fam and friends have encouraged me and inspired me to continue to lose weight. I share my weight loss story with every1 and therefore this encourages them 2 lose weight as well. My starting weight was 288lbs then I lost 61 pounds and weighed 227...(Over the holidays I actually stuffed my face and gained 22 pounds! So I went back up to 249 but then worked hard to lose 11 pounds so so now I currently weigh 237lbs and Im just going to work my way down to 160!) Jordin Sparks and Dots (a clothin company) were soo inspired by my story and so they picked me as the grand prize winner! They paid round trip air fair to fly my sister and I out to Dallas Texas (Im from NY) and for the hotel as well...They gave me a $500 shopping spree to Dots where I was able to spend time shopping with Jordin. She was sooo nice we had alot of things in common! I am just so blessed that I can inspire others and I know every1 on this forum is doing something positive with their lives; trying to strive for suceess.. So I just want to tell every1 to continue ur weight loss and know that every1 pound you lose, it can inspire someone who never thought they could do it

Below is my youtube clip of Jordin picking out a SIZE8 dress for me to wear when I hit goal! :) I want to be 160lbs so this will inspire me to reach my goal faster..Click on the link below
