This is my story.

     Growing up I was always a little bit on the heavy side.  Or at least that is what I thought.  If I was to look back on my school pictures I would have a different out look.  But that is part of growing up!!.  Fast forward to my adult life.  I was about 150 lbs. when I met my husband (back in 1992)  When I got pregnant with my first child I was about 179 lbs. (late 1992)  I only gained 21 lbs with my son.  That brings me up to around 200 lbs.  I got sick arount 1998-1999 and was put on about 7 different kinds of medications which brought on more weight, and fast..  I was then around 250+ lbs.   I stopped taking all medication and worked my butt off and lost weight.  By 2001 I was down under 200.  I believe I was 189.  I was then at my stand still weight because I staied at that weight for several years.  Ok, now time for my second child and the weight started coming back on,,,,  I was 211 I think....  when my daughter was born 9 months ago. (May 2005) The weight started coming off pretty well, then I had problems with my gallbladder and had it removed.  (July 2005?)  The weight started coming back on again...  In December I was at 241 lbs.  Now in January I am around 230.

My goals are in stepping stones. #1: 210   #2: 200  #3: 175 and #4: 150.
