Last year at this time I was recovering from surgery, it was the best decision I have ever made for my self. I have been lucky and have not had any problems along the way but it is still a challenge everyday to not fall back in to old habbits. Anybody who says this is the easy way out has no idea that it is not easy you have to stay with it and follow the the program of diet and exercise. That being said we are all human and slip ups happen I have had my fair share of them for sure!

The one thing I wish some one had told me before hand was not to get so obsessed over the number on the scale. I look at pictures of myself and realize that I have not been this small since high school yet there are days I get on the scale and it says something totally different. I am now more focused on my BMI and not what the scale says.

I started at a BMI of 42.2 and now it is a nice even 27, my weight was 262 and I am now down to 177! I still have about 15 to 20 pounds to my goal and for some reason the last few months they just dont want to go away but I am determined to get them gone and with time I am postivie they will vansih forever just like the last 85 pounds have

I want to thank everyone here for all the support and advice that I have recieved during my journey this last year and may you all the the sucess that I have had

Just make sure you get in all your protein and water and that you are taking your vitiams along with the liquid B12 and as crazy as it sounds see if you can add more time to your workouts even 5 to 10 minutes may help ou,t I always seem to have more energy after a workout and it helps me sleep at night as well.
