Hi everyone! Well, I started gaining weight the end of high school 13 years ago. When I was 21 my father died unexpectedly and I then steadily put on 50 pounds a year until I reached 375 lbs. I couldn't commit to losing weight for anything. My wedding, my health, nothing motivated me. Until we tried to get pregnant. It wasn't happening for us. We went specialist and I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. That caused me to become motivated. I went down from size 28 to 22. Weight was down to 292. Then I found out I was pregnant! :) Three months ago I delivered my beautiful baby boy. I had gained everything back. I believe I was 378 at delivery. I now weigh 306. I lost over 60 pounds in three months. (PP issues helped weight loss along.)

So now I have a baby I want to be healthy for. Back in size 24. I want to lose 150 pounds.

I would love to friend people who can motivate me and inspire me.

I have to stick to this!

    First of all congratulations on your baby boy and for loosing your first 60lbs and in only three months is amazing! Youhave came to the right place for support and motivation the guys and girls on here are always behind you as we are all on the same boat! I have never been slim since around age 14 then like you one circumstance led to another and my weight constantly increased, it wasn't until I was forced into a portrait shoot in November 2010 that I realised how out of control it had reached. I started MFP on the January 2011 and have been here since! Good luck with your weight loss and feel free to add me if you would like some friends for support :flowerforyou:

    Welcome! I just had a baby boy 3 months ago too so I came here for the same reason. To lose weight and be healthy for him (and me). Feel free to friend me!! I've been stuck for weeks and feeling frustrated lately so I need friends too.
