My name is Linda Sousa, I am 41 years old and this picture is me at my heaviest, 305 pounds. I had Gastric Bypass surgery on Jan. 18, 2006 and as of today I have lost 74 pounds! I had planed to start this blog as soon as got home from the 2 day hospital stay, but as you can see I am three months behind. My parents have been going through some illness and I have been staying with them, helping them out. I do not even have a new picture yet but I just got a new camera and I will post some “thinner me” pictures soon!.
