My dad dying did it for me! And now my mom nominated me for a contest!



Recommended Posts

On May 31, 2012 my father passed away from complications due to weight. He was prisoner in his body. He told me the last time I saw him to lose the weight while I was young. Come September I get started on the insurance stuff. I get the 3 months in and all that and in December I had my surgery done. Now? I'm 310 pounds down from the 444. I am struggling a bit.. I am losing my hair. But I am trying hard to keep on track!

My momma nominated me for a contest for being "brave" and doing this. If you want to vote daily until June 5th (then there's another round after the top 10 is picked) http://tinyurl.com/q2omlq7 I would be forever thankful. I want to inspire young people to lose the weight while they can. Seeing my dad pass away that day was the hardest thing ever. I don't want other people to go through that same thing! I also really adore Taylor Swift to the max. She has helped get me through some of this. :)

Do I have to search through all the entries? Or is there a direct link?

Tiffany, God bless your little heart & I'm so very sorry on the passing of your Dad. I think this is such a brave thing you're doing & I'm sure your entire family is so proud of you!

I'd like to vote for you too, & while I do have a Facebook account, I don't want to let this company access my account or my friends list (which you have to agree to before you can vote.) So I'm with the gorgeous LI Gemini NY, I'd like to vote for you but would like to know if there is any other way?

When I clicked on the link, it took me directly to the pic of her & her mom with clown make up on (or something like that). They looked so cute!

If you're on your phone it takes you to that bravehearts. It's really stupid how it does it. But if you click on the part that says VIEW GALLERY & VOTE then click MOST VIEWED we are number 3 right now! Two girls with mustaches. :) That's the easiet way to find it on your phone.

Thank you guys for voting! I understand about not wanting the company to have your info. Thanks for wanting to vote. <3

If you go to http://bravehearts.com/?v=1369870237 and register (it's simple) you can vote I believe. Someone told me that's the way they did and they didn't have a facebook.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
