My weight loss story


"My Weight Loss Story"

Someone asked me to share how I have lost all the weight that I have lost.


     So it started back in 2014, I weighed a total of 384.8 lbs.  I was constantly sleepy & tired.  I figured that it was my crazy work schedule.  Then by 10/14, I had lost a total of 12 lbs.  Nothing had changed in my diet - it was confusing.  But by the beginning of November, I had lost a total of 18 lbs- down 367 lbs.  

     As of 11/14, (13 weeks in), I have lost a total of 20.8 lbs.  By the end of December & the end of the year 2014.  I had lost a total 29.2 lbs.  My weight was 355.2 lbs.  Then I took off 3 months from recording my weight.  So as of 2015, I lost a total of altogether 31.2 lbs.   A month and a half later, I had lost another 1.5 lbs.  So altogether I was down to 350 lbs.

   

     So in September 2015, I ended up going to the doctor.  He ran some test, which showed him that I had Hypothyroidism and High Blood Pressure.  Hypothyroidism makes someone very sleepy, fatigue, it messes with your emotions, and other different signs and symptoms. The doctor and I talked it over and it was the reason I was losing the weight. My thyroid was messing everything up .  So the doctor put me on medicines.  Then I lost another 15 lbs.  And to this day I can not get any lower on my weight.

    In 2015-2016, it was a very scary time.  I was having some health issues.  I went to the doctor and they did an DNC & the test came back with me having an precancerous scare.  So, I went to the doctor and he suggested one of two things.  He suggested to do a hysterectomy.  So, I couldn't bend or pickup anything for 6 weeks.  

     In 2018, I started feeling sick to my stomach.  The pain got more and more intense to where I was not able to handle the pain.  Then one afternoon, I drove me & mom down to UNC Hospital in Hillsborough, NC.  When the doctors & nurses checked my out.  They found out that I had gallstones in my gallbladder need to be removed. 

     As of today, I have lost a total of 57.8 lbs.  I have weighed the same weight range for almost 2 1/2 years now.  My goal is to lose 135 more lbs.  You may think that I am crazy.  But, I need to do this.  Once I get the weight off.  I know I will feel better.  But I will look weird. Because I have always been big.
