This is Our Story

My husband and I are going on a journey together.  A healthy journey.  You can follow us on Instagram @old_man_scott_73 and @southern_fluff_to_fit!  We have been married for almost 22 years and one day we were tired the way we were living.  No energy, eating out all the time, and spending more money on food when we could be putting that money back for retirement and to build a house.  We both had our own health issues going on and it was enough to make a decision to make a change now or have a shorter life.  

On April 5, 2017, my world changed.  I had to have a full hysterectomy because I had endometriosis really bad.  After my month of recovery, my husband and I started going to the gym.  The rest shows above of our previous start of our healthy journey.  Four years later, we gained some of that weight back.  Depression hit and I always told myself that I would never have surgery because I felt that was cheating.  I really wanted to do it on my own.  I tried every diet imaginable.  I went through some procedures since the beginning of the year and I am now approved to have the sleeve done on June 20th, 2022.  

This is just the beginning but encouragement and prayers can go a long ways.  The above picture shows that I was around 275 and lost from 355.  I gained up to 318 and today I weight 303.  My goal weight is to at least get down to 145 lbs, my ideal weight for my height and small frame.  

We will keep you updated!
