Age- I turn 33 on August 2nd

From- Middle of nowhere Alberta, Canada...I mean that quite literally lol we live in the wilderness

Highest weight ,Current weight, Goal Weight- 243,218,110? I am only 5'2 and I haven't seen the lower 100's for so long I don't even know how to type them lol. But, my doc says shoot for it. So what the hell, I guess that's good enough for me ;)

Career- I work with special needs children as a educational assistant at a local school. I typically have a specific student assigned to me who is in kindergarten or lower elementary. I was a stay at home mom full time for ten years. I headed tons of committees and volunteered for EVERYTHING! This year, I QUIT! I am only staying on as a part time Sunday School teacher, and a leader for one of my daughters clubs. I quit parent council (P.T.A.), I quit women't group, I quit the children's theater, I quit volunteering on Thursdays at my daughters school. This year, I am joining belly dancing, curling and Zumba. I am going to smoosh my children's cheeks, and play board games with them. I am going to take pictures of them and take long walks after supper with them. I am going to PLAY with my kids and hang out with my darling hubby. I won't be rushing off to board meetings, I will be drinking a cup of decaf earl grey and at the end of a day, just being happy sinking my heart into my family and find my Qwan!

About Me: I'm a RN (admissions coordinator) at our local 25 bed hospital. I've been married to my hubby for 8 years. We have 2 little boys, ages 4 and 2. I have struggled with my weight for the past 8-9 years, but I have really had a problem since having my first child in 2007. Things I love: fishing, shopping, decorating, anything that has to do with Water (swimming, water parks, water sports, etc...), and my current obsession is VST. I cannot get enough of everyone's experiences and advice. I absolutely LOVE this site/app. I'm sure I'm missing a lot but that's a start.

I spent 2 years of talking about WLS unaccepting the complications of bypass to hear benefits of the sleeve and realize I was willing to do it ....then a 6 month process to be approved by Kaiser for Surgery. Was skinny until I had babies then just kept adding on pounds. Taking a 1 yr. radical sabatical to focus on establishing this new lifestyle and to take care of myself instead of everyone else. I have been very active in my church, love fun, friends, family, photos and am so excited for this adventure to freedom!

I work in the health care field and see what the long term effects of obesity do to a person and their body. I want to avoid some of these complications so I'm trying to do something about it before its too late.

Good luck to all the other August sleevers! It's finally coming!
