From May 27th to Dec 27th.. Today is my 7th Month
Today makes 7 months for me . All I can say is whoaaaa . Most of you know that I started out this journey at 297 pounds . I am 5.7 tall . In the last seven months I have been gifted to loose 122 pounds so far, today I am at 175. . My goal is to weigh 155. So that means another 20 pounds. I know in my heart I will get to goal . I can tell you though when this all first started , I set my goal of 100 pounds to be gone by January .. who would have ever known I would be coming down to the final 20 .
I began this wearing sizes 24\26 now I can get into some 10's and 12's. I have never wore a size 10 or 12 . My eating patterns are great . My disapline amazes me ... I can honestly say I would do this everyday of my life if it meant to get where I am today .
I feel like I need to spread the word about GBS and it's life saving benefits . I am thinking about printing out t-shirts that say " I lost 150 pounds ask me how " Then I can go into my sales pitch .. won't be much of a sale once I show them the before and after pics ... and tell them how healthy I am now .
I owe my life to God and my surgeon for this tool ... and I look forward to the new year and all it will bring .
Love you all .. and Happy New Year !~

Hey Natalie,
I'm so happy for you...for me...and for all of us really. It's been a wonderful journey. You started about 53lbs more than me and have almost caught up to me. You are losing very fast. These last 5 lbs. I've lost have been slow...very very slow. I'm hoping to get my exercise up in January and maybe that will get me moving again.
Happy New Year

p.s. We need to get rolling if we're going to have an anniversary get together. You still up for it.
