My husband and I keep bees on our property. We were so successful last year with our honey production and sales that this year we are expanding from 3 hives to 10. We intend to eventually make this a full time business.

I'm thorough. I'm careful. Want it done right, come to me.

(That's why it took me this long to come up with something.)

I took up guitar lessons recently and really enjoy playing guitar, and I hold belts in Shaolin Kempo Karate and Tae Kwon Do. My wife just recently bought me an early anniversary/ congrats for losing 100 pounds present , which is this awesome guitar. She named it Sylvia, ( since its silver etc.)

I am strong, beautiful, intelligent, kind, loving and loved. After a terrible childhood I almost didn't survive, I am happy and madly in love with my husband of 24 years. We raised two awe inspiring women. They both graduated college and now we have an amazing granddaughter. I thank God for my life every single day. I live every day like it is my last and love my family that way. I have no regrets and I have the life I never even could have dreamt of. Surprisingly I didn't allow my parents to destroy me. I chose to be the very best person I could be! Love this thread.

Love this post.... Lets seeing come from a a very large family. My dad has 20 brothers and sisters... I survived rape at 13. I had a child, got married and divorced before I finished high school. Which I know is nothing to brag about but I learned to survive. He was a drug and alcoholic who cheated from day one. Put myself through collage while raising a kid alone. Fast forward..... Last year I knocked a few things off my bucket list.... I got my concealed carry weapons license and became a certified range instructor. And stared in my very first play at our local theater. I was Barbara in Murder most fouled up. I had the best time. I have two grandkids that most people think are mind. Lol

This year I plan to sky dive

I speak pieces and parts of about 6 modern languages and 2 dead ones. I have been told my feet are beautiful (??!). I've been a bad evil stepmother (her words) to my darling stepdaughter for 25 years and wife of a best husband contender. I am in the process of surviving lyme disease undiagnosed for about 15 years. An intuitive told me I have food issues because in a former life I was stranded at sea (hmm, maybe at the time I was fluent in one of those dead languages?)

I was blessed at age 19 & 20 with a gift that was hands down the best thing I will ever do while on this planet, I gave birth to the two loves of my life. A little boy and then a little girl, all grown up now but they are still my babies :)

Like so many women with chronic weight and eating issues I am a survivor of childhood abuse at the hands of my father. This surgery was one of my last steps in a very long journey back to wellness and joy.

I have a huge soft spot for animals, children and the elderly.

I want to zipline and go up in a hot air balloon.

And last but certainly not least, I believe I am definitely in the running for "girl with the best husband EVER!!" (the third love of my life)

Humm I'm special because 1) I had my first daughter at a young age 17, I dropped out of school (alternative school because I was a bad girl) and got my GED at 18 had my second daughter at 19. When I was 17 I got my CNA license and a job at a local nursing home to support my girls. I don't think anyone really thought I had a whole lot of potential or would amount to much in life. Now, fast forward age 22 I put myself in college (parents never saved for that They probably didn't feel they needed to and I can't say as I blame them) I had no idea what I was doing I just went up to our local college and let them lead me. I started with general classes then decided I wanted to follow in my mothers footsteps and become a nurse (she is a retired NICU RN) I made the deans list every semester and paid my own way through school with the help of some scholarships that I was awarded along the way. I Finnish school at 26 then decided I wanted to do travel nursing (I specialize in dialysis) so I took my first contract in Hawaii And traveled off and on for about 6 years teaching at the mayo clinic along the way. In the mean time I met my husband, had a son, got married , went back to school to become a Nurse Practitioner And now here I am! Soooo I'm special because I accomplished things that no one thought I was capable of accomplishing. Hell that's including myself at times. From alternative school to Working on my Masters ....who knew!! Never discredit a girl that's driven. Between my husband and myself we have 8 children 4 boys and 4 girls (his are grown, he's older than me....a lot) I have 5 grand children with 2 on the way and I'm 34....I' m also special because my momma says I am!! PS the picture is of my youngest daughter, my stepson, yours truly and My DIL with my grand baby boy on the way :) We are one mix and blended up family!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
