So I am finally adding to this profile! I will start with my family! I am 27 years old, married to JJ since 2002, and have two boys. Trey is 5 and Levi is 3 1/2. I am a stay at home mom and loving it! I wasn't always a stay at home mom, just since Levi had to have brain surgery! Both of our boys have been through a lot but you would never know it! They are my world!
I guess my story starts like almost everyone's on here! I have always been the "big" girl! Even in junior high, high school, and college. But I was also the athletic one. I always said I was big boned and had muscle, which was true....... 15 years ago HAHA
When I got to high school I was still around 150ish but in a size 12. Which was still bigger than all my friends. it sucked! I always felt like the fat friend because I couldn't share clothes with any one! I stayed that same weight and size until I was 20 and out of college! It went down hill when I got pregnant for the first time and it ended in miscarriage. I jumped up to a size 16 and around 180.
When I got pregnant with Trey I was 183 and weighed 236 the day I delivered! Trey had complications at birth and spent a month at Riley Children's Hospital. Needless to say we ate out a lot that month and I did not even drop ONE POUND when I went back to the doctor in 6 weeks! Trey had 4 surgeries before he was one, 18 doctors, 5 therapists, and over 150 hospitals visits, or therapy appointments in the first year. Which means.. we ate out... a lot! And I lost NOTHING! Trey had 5 surgeries total.
FInally in 2003 I tried the Atkins Diet and dropped 20 pounds before I got pregnant with Levi! Thank God I did not gain but 20 pounds through my entire pregnancy! Levi also had complications and was sent to Riley. So once again we were eating out.. a lot. Levi has had 6 surgeries total. So we will spent a lot of time eating out going back and forth from appointments.
In 2006, I started taking Phentermine and went from 236 to 185 in just 6 months! Who knew when you stopped taking it you would gain it all back LOL and then some!
So here I am now in 2008 weighing in at 256 and I just had the lap band done on May 27th! Hoping to get down to a size 10, don't really care how many pounds that is!
