Hello my name is Pamela, anI had my surgey May 22 2006, in Milto Fla.

I started my weight off at 295 for 5,7 " an gaining, but as of today I

weigh 250. I worry that I am not coming off fast enough. The dr,

says I doing good, but I want to do better. I walk 1.50 to 3 miles

aday. I am 43 and raising my 3 grandchildren 5,4,2. I saty busy but

it is hard for me to find the time to do for me, what I need to do. I

have 150 to go an I pray that I do it, I have a fear that I will just

stop loseing an I can not see wasteing all that money an stopping at

250. I had no insurance so my surgery was on a cash basis. My

husband likes everything fried an not much vegtables. I try to drink

at least 2 shakes aday, plus eat small potions, I am getting hungry

alot now but I refuse to give up until I can get into a pair off 32 32

levis. I just found your web site yesterday an Thank you for being

Hi Pamela,

Congratulations on the weight loss so far. 45lbs is GREAT!!! Especially in 2

mo. That is about average. 1.5 - 3 mi. a day is great as well. WOOHOO!!! You are

doing great Pamela. Do not doubt yourself. Especially when you have 3

grandchildren and a husband to care for too. It can be difficult. I know that

since I have gotten the kids into eating with me and exercising with me, it has

turned into a family event which supports my situation that much more and we get

the family time together, not to mention it is showing them a good pattern to

follow for their lives so they don't see these days. I too am raising my

siblings 2 brothers and sister. It's hard when all of a sudden three children

are in your life. So I can relate.

I think we can all relate to feeling like we are the one person this won't

work for, but it will. It took us years to put it on and it will take us about 1

1/2 to 2 years to get it back off with devotion and hard work. Seems like a long

time, but I can't even believe that I am 6 mo. out now. It's going by fast and

90lbs lighter. You can do this Pamela. Keep up what you are doing. We are here

for you!!!
