    I think the decision can be harder to make when you are younger. There are so many things you really have to commit to, like taking your supplements daily for the rest of your life. Even when you reach goal, it can be a challenge to maintain. What type of surgery are you interested in? If there is any way I can help, please let me know. :)

    I eat mostly fish and some dairy (cheese), vegetables and fruit. I have issues with carbs, but I do have some sometimes. It just gets me in a bad cycle. I am not eating enough calories though, and I have to work on that. I get down to the gym for about an hour 3 times a week, but I dance around my house ALL the time, like a nut. LOL Just make sure your house is always filled with good tunes and move! BTW, your puppy is so cute!

  15. freshorangina says:

    I LOVE my MGB!!! It sounds like you are doing fantastic!!! Your progress is great!! What is your final goal weight?

  16. winglessfairyRN says:

    Continued from last comment…What are u eating typically and how much? How much do you excercize a week? (truthfully) I have been trying to up my activity so I have been walking and hula hooping a lot but I am sure I should be doing more. Anyway thanks for posting the video. I love following you and your transformation!

    WOOHOO ! You look amazing! Incredible! Your pictures are awesome.. that vacation looked like a dream. Costa rica looked gorgeous and like a lot of fun. I am over 5 months (mgb)out and have only lost 75 so far… so that puts me at 175 (from 250).

  18. freshorangina says:

    Thanks Viki!! :D

  19. vkhele says:

    Hey Carrie, great update! I love the Costa Rica pics!! You look beautiful!! You’ve come so far, 146 lbs is so amazing!!!

  20. freshorangina says:

    Thanks! I am 151 down as of this morning, half of me GONE!! I can hardly believe it, it feels great!! :)

  21. SweetBabyMatt says:

    Wow 146.5 lost. Very inspiring!

  22. ChubbyBear1960 says:

    Well, it’s true! And when I saw your before pics I almost cried – what a huge difference! I am sooooooooo happy for you!

  23. freshorangina says:

    THANKS!!! Its funny, almost like every couple of months I have to completely re-adjust to how I look. LOL! Your comment about how I look like I was never overweight almost brought tears to my eyes.

  24. freshorangina says:

    Thanks Fab, I hope you and yours are all feeling better. Costa Rica was incredible! I was volunteering on a green sea turtle conservation project on the central Pacific coast, but then I went up to Tortuguero and yes, on the night watch I got to stand right behind her and she was dropping eggs two feet from my FACE!!! It was so cool. As far as the hot springs I went to Baldi every night at Arenal. Tabacon was kind of pricey, but I’ll be back! :D

  25. freshorangina says:

    Thanks!! Yeah, the little things are pretty fun to notice. :)
