Well, my name is Ann. I am 42, married to a wonderful husband with an almost 2 yr old. He will be 2 next Friday. I had gastric bypass almost 11 yrs ago. I started doing good but then meds my family dr gave me made me gain weight and just went back and forth. Before surgery I weighed 375. I am now 300. The lowest I got was 238. I have a history of anxiety, depression, and health problems. Mainly my thyroid. I am a diabetic but don't have to be on meds anymore. I also have severe back problems and can't really do a lot of standing at one time. I was told for 20 yrs that I would never have a child. In 2012 I had a cervical biopsy, but evrything was good. On July 3, 2013 after a month of not having my monthly, I decided to get a pregnancy on the finding of having liquid coming from my breast. I told my husband that if it is positive then we know why I didn't have my monthly, but if it was negative there may be something wrong. I took it and right away it came out positive. Anyway, my son was born with some health problems but is doing really good now. I need to get healthy, not just for him or my husband but for myself. I have tried so many times but I am seeing some difficulty with keeping up with him and tired a lot and finding it hard to chase after him. I don't want to live like this anymore. The last couple days I have been watching a show called "My 600 lb Life." My dad's brothers and sisters were really heavy set. About 5 or 6 weighed about 500-700 lbs. Some of the weight is hereditary but I'm not gonna use that as a crutch. I know I don't eat right. I buy microwavable stuff because of convience and I know it is loaded with crap. Time for a serious change. Watching that show has given me some motivation and I really need to do something before my health gets bad. I need to find some kind of exercise program to do at home. Any suggestions? Anyway, nice to meet you all.
