So for all of you who don't know i have been working really hard to lose some much needed weight. a while ago i went through some health issues and was gaining weight and didn't know why we found out later that i had a tumor the size of a golf ball on my thyroid so i had to have it removed later they told me i had thyroid cancer and were confident that they had removed all the cancer. to hear that word is pretty scary. but that was some of the cause for my weight gain i wont say it was all but some so anyways i am 100 percent recovered and have never felt better. i had no idea thyroid controlled so much. women should all have their's tested i had the lump in my throat for probably 2 years that i know of and it was never detected so it is important to have it checked every once in a while. back to the point i have worked my butt off and have lost 40 pounds in about 4 months i have lost a total of 16 inches so far, these are my most recent pics. its kind of embarrassing now to see where i was but i just look at how far i have come. i still would like to loose about 10- 15 more but its a lot of work ill try to keep you updated. sorry about the pic where my head is cute off. ha ha
