Disappearing Me
http://theamazingdisappearingme.blogspot.com/
I'm Lisa, 32, from Southern Illinois. I've been married for 8 years and have 4 children. My twin boys are 6, my daughter is 5 and my oldest daughter would have been 7 this year, she was stillborn. Now that my kids are in school, I decided to go back to school myself. I'm working on my Social Work degree.
I'm at my highest weight ever and feel like I have tried everything. I feel like I need weight loss surgery if I'm going to lose weight and keep it off. I can't do this on my own, I need a helping hand! I've lost up to 72 lbs before on my own using a low carb diet but as soon as I went off of it, I regained over 100 lbs. I don't think I will ever be successful at keeping the weight off without a tool.
