Now here is How I got to where I am today:
I have been a yoyo'er every since I was 23y/o..right after I had my second child ( Mz Ceirra) I began to pick up some weight from the pregnancy and the counter reaction of the Depo shot from previous yrs after having my first child (Mz Jazmin). Wen I was 15 I had my first child and started taking the Depo-Vera 3 Month Birth Control Shot (why did i do it..still asking myself right now today). During the 2yrs I was taking the shot not once did I encounter any normal female functions (use ur imagination) but I was continuously gaining weight 80lbs (unbeknown-st of the reason at this time). but when my first child became 2y/o I came across a Dietary Supplement called Xenadrine RFA- 1 (the best dietary supplement ever) while using this supplement I lost 100lbs in 6months. Which brought me down to a 135lbs bout I didn't really like it so I began to gain weight until i reached a level of my Health (a healthy 172lbs..oh how I love this weight). But, to make a long story short my weight stem.'d from 172lbs (January 2003) to a high of 476lbs (March 2010) in between this time I had 2 more kids a gurl (January 2005 (Mz Ja'Dlyn)) and boy (August 2008(Mr CJ) so you can imagine what happen to my weight to get me to my highest weight. On March of 2010, I attended a Weight Loss Seminar held @ Atlanta Medical Center given by Titus Duncan (Peachtree Bariatrics) very informative information. Again, If you would like to learn more bout me plz feel free to leave me a message, email, or post a comment.
