Re-Introduction.

So...I fell off the wagon for a year.

Let me start from the beginning. Heart issues, Diabetes, Overweight, Junk Food Addict, infertility ...the whole shebang. 283 Pounds at 5 foot 7. Life sucked and I was on 12 medications a day. Joined here...ate healthy, exercised, lost 62 pounds!

You know what happened? After 13 years of trying to have a baby with my husband, I got pregnant. My daughter is 16 years old. There are 16 years in between my kids! AHHHH!

Anyway, the pregnancy was rough. A lot of bed rest. High risk. 5 appointments a week. A lot of insulin. But we made it! Silas was born on May 20th. He is healthy and BEAUTIFUL!

At my six week check up I was at my lowest weight. 229. We decided I was going to try 6 months without Metformin. Just trying to eat healthy and exercising should have worked. With PCOS it isn't that simple.

6 months later, I was at 266 lbs and blood pressure was back up. Damnit! So, back on Metformin and I am feeling great. The weight is coming off again. I am going to TRY to not get pregnant this time. HAHA!

So here I am. I have lost 12 pounds so far. Time to get back in those size 16 pants I was in after I had the baby. Then hopefully down to a 12/14. I know with all of my extra skin that is the lowest I will ever fit into again...but I don'[t mind. I wouldn't mind living in a 16, as long as I am healthy. That is all that matters!

I loved this community last time, I still love you, and I can't wait to be back in it!

Here is the little bugger!

By the way, your story sounds very similar to mine. I too have PCOS, and it took me six years to have my boy, Liam. It's possible with a lot of hard work to manage though. I've lost over 30 pounds so far!

We spent SO much money on fertility treatments over 10 years. One year of eating healthy and Metformin and BAM!
