Good morning my f/b fam. I've been on this weight loss journey for several years now and have always fallen off the wagon. But last year was the first time i became truly committed to this journey. Yes i have a story to tell about this journey. First i would like to say that i was doing it for the wrong reasons and didn't have the proper support team. When i decided to take this journey serious, I included the most important person in the world, and that was God. I had to pray before anything I did and to always consult with God. He gave the strength and guidance I needed to start this journey and stay on it. Yes I backslid a few times but, I never quit. I had the gastric sleeve surgery in May 2025 and it was the best decision of my life. Blood pressure was ridiculously high and so was my weight. I was a walking time boom spiraling out of control. Then I cried out to my heavenly father for help and he put the right people in my path to get help. Thanks to my sister Lisa Banks and my amazing surgery team, I'm doing well now. My start weight was 319lbs, and I'm down to 250, and that's without working out. Now I'm incorporating working out and back on this journey to lose the rest of this weight. God gave me another chance at life and I'm not going to waste it. It's healthy eating and working out for me now. It's hard getting started but, once I do get started, it's on to reaching my goal weight. I will be posting pics of my journey and feel free to leave advice. Be blessed and always be a blessing!
