Im a 22 year old mommy to a 20 month old baby girl and a 7 week old baby girl. I was on south beach and did amazing. I got pregnant with my first daughter in Nov. 2005 and gained 49 pounds. After having emergency surgery for pp hemmoraging I fell into a rut of not losing the weight, then gaining the entire pregnancy weight back. I am at my biggest ever and I have always been big so losing it all was great then gaining it back depressed me a bit. since my last login almost a year ago a lot has happened. I moved to GA in may of 2007. i spent a lot of time packing before that so i was busy. Well i had not gotten a period since Jan. so in mid april i strated to get tested to see why and was told i was no ovulating and would need fertility treatments to have any more kids. So we were not ""careful"" (my hubby and I) and i got really sick 2 weeks after our big move and i thought food poisioning from eating out so damn often. well i took a test just to rule it out and big bright 2 line!! HOW!!!!!! well i was 10 weeks pregnant with a miracle baby. LOL and i had a 11 month old already. so during my pregnancy i gained 31 pounds total not bad from my 48 the first time around. now it is 7 weeks later and i only lost 20 total. and i keep going up and down adn wanna get DOWN way DOWN!!!!!!!!Now I am trying to lose it all again, more than the first time. This site is so helpful since the people know what your going through and can help you along the way. Plus its great motivation!! Profile pic is before I got pregnant (my motivational tool)
