This has been a LONG journey so far. I originally started this weighing 240 pounds. I was battling infertility, PCOS, and other problems. A baby was my number one goal. After dropping to 210 pounds, I got pregnant and had my 2lb miracle on my 28th birthday. Due to pregnancy complications, I ended up weighing 260 pounds after having my miracle. This will be 3 years, in April. 2015 left me feeling hopeless, and battling brittle diabetes. I made a vow I would get healthy for my son. I have lost 50 pounds and am 9 pounds away from onderland! I still have a ways to go to my biggest goal, but I will get there. I lack motivation sometimes and get down but friends on the same journey, help. I'm battling a big plateau right now, and have moments of wanting to give up...but I continue on. I was a teacher before my son was born so premature. I would love to go back to teaching, but need to be at my best. My journey is just beginning. I may be lacking a third chin, and 50 pounds now, but I'm not where I want to stay.

    Well aren't you a cutie. I bet your son is one handsome lad and lucky to have a Mom who is looking out for her health.
