What People Say About BWC
New for 2010 — Sylvie K. Williams
"All my life, I have had a losing battle with weight. I starved myself when I was 17 to weigh 128 lbs; which ballooned to 160 lbs as soon as I got to college. From there on, over a period of 6 years, it kept going up no matter what I did. I weighed 265 lbs on my 30th birthday in 2007. I hated myself and the way I looked and the fact that walking 2 blocks was tough. I wasn't enjoying my life. I decided that was no way to live and after much research and conversations with my doctor, I decided to have gastric bypass that year and reinvent myself. I have lost almost a 100 lbs and have so much more energy now. I can walk up stairs and not need my inhaler. I can even dream of doing a 5K and not use my inhaler. Which is something I have been procrastinating about for the past couple years now. Last year, on my birthday, June 25th, I was in a bad car accident that landed me in shock trauma for a night. I am running this year for my 33rd birthday to celebrate my health and life."
