Me!

I was always the big girl - from about Jr. High until 2007. That's when things changed! In March of 2007 I weighed 323 pounds. I underwent gastric bypass surgery on March 15th of that year and I have lost about 150 pounds... but as many people have found out it's not the magic cure, just a tool to help you lose the weight. I'm at the point where many who have undergone gastric bypass begin to fail. That's not an option for me. I've lost all the weight I can from surgery and now the rest is up ...

Hi, you look awesome. Keep up the good work.
I do not have any outdoor wheels. I bet a need harder (93-95) because of my weight. I was thinking about the SG Sugar Hybrids from Sin City Skates. I have asked for some for xmas / bday. I really appreciate your tips. I will skate tomorrow at the public rink, then Sunday we will have practice. We just had a bout where the concrete was treated with something that made the girls fall like crazy. Keep up the hard work.

Hey, girl! I know that you will do great on that race. I usually just do what I can-- save your energy for the second half. I am sure you have way more endurance than I . Skating, I can only do 12 laps in 4:30. Coaches are going to work with just Fresh Meat during the post season break. Gettin' up in 2 seconds from a fall--how do you do that?

I am working on it. If I could just workout and train with them--I would be happy.

So glad that you stopped by! I have had two weeks off from exercise and got started back on Friday. Lunges with my trainer and lots of pop squats to help with the skating. Glad you like strength training--it's got some bang for your buck. Did you get a pair of Wicked skates? I just bought mine on Sunday--they are Vixens (165 Riedells) from someone in a neighboring city who had to quit derby.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will say that strength training is probably what saved me from failing. I saw results in like two weeks. It's exciting to see those triceps pop even when I am not at goal weight, etc. I will keep stopping by for visits in the future. Hope to buy my skates this weekend.

Awesome on your weight loss! I found your page by searching for roller derby. You look awesome.
