Well my story goes like this.As a childI was always heavy. I never had a "thin period" like most peope do. My mom always made it very known as her 5th child I was an accident. Well she took it out on me by trying to make me hevy on purpose. I was homeschooled my entire life, never had asny friends and was never allowed boyfriends. I started my first job at 18 years old . I noticed how much prettier otherirls were and how well they took care of themselves. I ten went into a very bad depression knowing I was not pretty at all, and hd all of this extra weight on me. I then met my husband at where I work who was my saving grace. He made me feelso much bettter about myself. I told him I wanted to lose weight andhe as all for it. I failed and failed and failed.I discovered after 2 miscarriages I had a bloodclotting disorder and a genetic folic acid deficiency that would require blood thinners to help me carry a healthy pregnacy. It siraled me inot another deressio and I ganed alot more weight. Then I got pregnant again. I had my beautiful son June 5th 2009. I was up to 288 lbs. I m 5 foot tall. I went on weight watchers and was down to 205 lbs. Then I got pregnant with my daughter.She wasborn January 20th 2012. She is now 6 months old and I am at 257. I need to lose 157 lbs.My doctor recommended doing a regimin of 1200 cals a day. and it works great, I just need to incorporate healthier foods. I'd love any support of others I can get!!!!

    I have been doing this since March last year. Some of it on MFP (which has been REALLY helpful).
