Hello! My name is Kristin. I'm 32, grew up in Southern California and now live in Southwest Wisconsin. I was recently approved for VSG surgery. I have been heavy most of my life. There was a short 6 month period when I was 19 and obsessed with losing weight that I weighed within 20 lbs of my ideal weight.I remember being around 145 in high school and beinh heavier than all of my friends. Boy would I love to weigh that again! My first attempt at serious weight loss was when I was 12 and I attended a weight loss camp for kids. As an adult I have done Physicians Weight Loss, Mayo Clinic, and an Individualized Weight Management program through a hospital along with several other shorter diest like Atkins, Cabbage Soup Diet, and various diet pills. I had some success on all of those programs but have never been able to keep the weight off even for a week. I recently was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and the begninnings of osteoarthritis in my knees. I have been told countless times that I carry my weight well. I think my secret is that I have the biggest legs of anybody I know and they are NOT pretty so I DO NOT let the girls out ever (translation I don't wear shorts or cut offs or capri pants and I even wear a gauzy pant when swimming) so people only really see my face and upper body which aren't bad. I am excited but nervous. I have lived in 7 states in the last 10 years so I am no stranger to change. I hope the changes I have been making in preparation will help me to be successful in the long run. Other things always came first but now is MY time to focus on ME. This is it and I am determined to rock my sleeve.
