It's Been almost a year

Well I know most if you don't know me but after having the surgery and getting my life back I haven't had near as much time to post as I did when I first started researching this wonderful tool.  I had RNY with Dr. Carl Lowe in June 14, 2006.  Since my first consultation I have lost 164lbs.  I am wearing a size 10!!!  I weigh 170.  I feel great and no longer have to take my high blood pressure medicine.  I out walked my husband at the NASCAR races for the first time year.  I just wanted to post and tell everyone how wonderful things are going for me.  Those of you who know me know I had a very rough start but things are great now and I continue to eat very high protien and low carb and continue to lose towards my goal of 150.  To all of you just begining, remember 2 things.  Stick to the plan and don't get discouraged.  Use this great gift and do the hard work because it pays off.   Oh and I posted new pictures from the races.  My pictures in Mark Martin's pit compared to the last time is drastic. Well wishes to all, Shannon. 

 Congrats! Thanks for the advice and encouragement. Run hubby's butt off!!

You look GREAT. Thanks for sharing and continued success!   

Shannon, Girl, you look awesome!!!  How the heck are you?  Better yet, what do you think of those panther drafts?????  LOL...we need to have a support meeting so I can get with you and discuss those cats!  It's great to see you.  You really look amazing!  Can you believe it's been almost a year?  It seems just like yesterday I met you for the first time.  You were my inspiration   Take care and keep in touch.  I'm not working right now cause it's summer so if you ever want to "do lunch" or dinner or whatever, let me know.  Hugs!
