I decided to start doing YouTube videos to document my progress as well as pictures. My second video is up now. I am so nervous when I do them so I think I look and sound like a dork. But I know I am going to love seeing how different I look when I lose my weight. Here's a link if you want to check it out:

it's awesome! I just watched it. Is that a quilt shop you are in? I used to do quilting now just tie quilts when I can due to MS

Thank you for posting videos! I admire you. My surgery is scheduled for April 16th so I will be watching and taking any advice that you can give. By the way, you are not a dork you are adorable!! :)

Thanks for watching ladies! Happymom, I used to own a quilt store but had to shut it down so I could be more available for my granddaughter that has Asperberger's that we are raising. Now I sell my fabrics online from home. So I am in my home office/store.

MomsRock thanks for saying I am not a dork! I am so nervous when I make the videos that I can't even think what to talk about. But I know I am going to love seeing how much I change after surgery. I'm going to try to keep doing them as I go along.

loved the video, you did a great job and will look forward to seeing updates along the way; the colorful fabrics make a great backdrop; good luck on your surgery coming up soon!

P.S. you look too young to be a grandmother

I loved hearing your "real" story. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings.

P.S. I would have never guessed that you were 45. You go girl!
