Great NSV: Expecting a New Baby

I weighed in at 405 pounds in early 2012. I made a decision to lose weight in Feb. 2012 and I have since lost 204 pounds (and counting). I'm 39 years old, 6-0 in height, and currently at 201 pounds. We have two boys ages 9 and 7 but I was reluctant to have more children when I was over 400 pounds. We also struggled with some infertility. Now that I have lost the weight, we decided that we wanted to have another child (or maybe 2 more). We found out last week that we are not expecting after my wife took a positive pregnancy test. My wife has PCOS and she was also on fertility drugs (Clomid and Metformin) so this is really a great miracle from God. This was the third cycle on Clomid so we are super excited. We had our other two children also with the help of fertility drugs (Comid and Metformin). My life has changed so much for the better after losing weight. I consider this a great non-scale victory for our family. Now that I am at a healthy weight, I will be able to do so much more for my family. My older boys also love doing things we me now. My little boy now races sprints with me. He can still beat me on the start but I can beat him after about 20 yards. Every aspect of my life has changed for the better now that I am no longer morbidly obese. It is so worth it to lose the weight. Find your motivation and let that burn within you to work hard and make good choices in living healthy!
