About Me:
 
Im here to share my journey of weight loss sugery. Im getting banded on 1/6/09 and I wanted to share it with the world mainly because I've learned a lot from watching other people's video's and now I want to make one of my own so I can show my progress and help others. I am very determined to lose weight. I want to lose about over 100 pounds. My goal weight is to be 160 pounds. I have a long way to go but with a lot of determination, I know I can do it before 2009 ends. Wish me luck guys and watch me go from fat to skinny!

msbuzzyful (1 week ago)
OMG!! How exciting!! Im glad your getting back on track. I"ve tried this detox three times before. You would think it's foolproof and there would be guaranteed results. Nope. I didn't loose a pound(after buying that expensive cardamon:) ) You are so lucky to have gotten such great results. Keep up the good work.
