Hi, my name is Melissa. I am 31 years old and my son just turned two a few weeks ago. I gained 60lbs while pregnant lost 25 right after he was born, and the other 35 have been here with me since! Most everyone in my family immediately snapped back to "pre baby body" after their children were born so I guess I just assumed I would too...but when that didnt happen I just felt depressed and never did anything about it. In the last four months, I have been asked three times when I am due and had to deal with the embarassing reaction when I say "oh Im not pregnant", that along with the fact that for the last two years I have been very unhappy with my body....I am ready to start making a change!!! I am trying to have a positive outlook that I can really do this although in the back of my head I have a lot of doubt...I am hoping that a forum like this can help me reach out for support and meet new people who can help encourage me on this journey!!!!!
