About Me

Hello to all my friends and family.I had the Lapband May 25, 2011 and it has been one of the best choices I have ever made. I started this blog and it has been very therapeutic for me. I decided that I would share my thoughts on being banded and let you see my progress throughout this journey. Feel free to comment and let me know you stopped by. Thanks for looking.

Bought myself a new coat......

Well I am giving my old coat to Goodwill for someone who may need it. It is a size 3x and I no longer wear that size.

I know this my weight loss blog but wanted to share nursery pictures!


The Nursey. In my mind I hoped it would be a boy. Can't post pictures of my little Ethan until he is legally ours.

Todays weigh in.....

225.8 :)

We have been matched with a baby boy!

Me and the hubby found out that we were matched with a 10 month old baby boy named Ethan! He is the cutest little boy. My heart is so full! This is just the beginning of a great future. We have one more hurdle before he can be ours. Please pray that everything runs smoothly and we can bring Ethan home next month.

Exciting News about my Fertility!

Went to a new doctor at UNC to discuss possible IVF or other ways of becoming pregnant. They were excited about my weightloss and feel they can help me get pregnant! I still have to go through some testing  and have a BMI of 40 to get IVF. Currently my BMI is 43, I only need to lose 19lbs to make my goal. My plan is to go back in January and blow their minds with a 30lb weigh loss. Wish me luck, I feel very hopeful. I can't wait till my promise is fulfilled!

Also Thomas and I have been referred to adopt a 10 month old little boy name Ethan. Other social workers have submitted other families as well. We will find out if we will be granted custody of him by this Thursday. Please keep us in your prayers!

Winston-Salem State Homecoming!

Went to my alma mater for Homecoming today. I was invited to a tailgate and ate some chili, 4 chicken drummets and  2 cupcakes:( God only know what I have to do to burn off those calories. Me and the hubby walked around the campus and had fun with my roommates and other alumni. I wore my first pair of Skinny jeans. I think I looked good in them.
ME and my SKINNY JEANS!
