    About Me

    I am 33 yr old mother of 3 getting ready for Gastric Bypass surgery. I hope. I started at 345 and over the winter I have lost almost 50lbs. (which is rare for me, especially in the winter time) Cause I always gain!! I also have a myspace page too. Hubby(George) and I have been married over 13 yrs.

    Interests

    Family, Tanning, Meeting new friends, Dancing, I love to watch anything that will make me laugh! I love to Laugh! I had been going to BBW bar for about 5 yrs. But since I gained all this weight...I don't think it was such a positive influence on me. But I had a blast with people who accepted me at the weight I am at and made lots of friends that I still have contact with..just not at the bar.
