18 Yo HW 370 - Augusta, GA

Hey everyone if you forgot or if this is the first time you've seen me I'm Lindsay and I'm a 18 year old vsger or sleever whatever you wanna call it from Georgia. I had my surgery on December 18th 2013 and I am rocking it. My highest weight was 370 and as of today I'm 331. Basically 40 pounds !! Being overweight so long I can't say wow i'm almost the size I was in high school.....I was 350-360 in high school and being so young I don't really remember how much I weighed. I just remember I was overweight and trying to do all these diets with my mother. We would go to WW meetings and it would work for maybe a month and then we would slack off and I just remember everyone saying she's getting so big. That's not a compliment. lol. I never really overate much or had emotional eating moments like some other people I do know. I just have arthritis and exercising was very difficult which hindered my weight loss. However, as of now I am going to the gym at least three times a week which is not hurting me much. Which I am very thankful for. A lot of bariatric patients don't exercise and I feel this is a vital part of this journey we are all facing. I didn't get a chance to exercise this week because of so much school work this semester. College! ughh! lol Anyway I didn't exercise and I haven't moved down at all this week. Maybe it's just my body is used to activity I have no clue . But EXERCISE! it's good for the heart and everything else . I also am trying to build some muscle because muscles more more fat than anything. I love you all and if you have any questions just ask ! & I'll just leave you with this short simple quote. If you want it, you gotta work for it.
