It's my 1 year anniversary/rebirthday!

i made it! it's been one year! i just got my labs done on monday so i'm not sure what the results are yet, but hopefully all is well with that. what a year it has been. I'm down 207.5 pounds so far, my diabetes is under control without meds, and my HBP is controlled with minimal meds!! woo hoo!! I got my husband back and things are better than ever. NEXT UP...we're trying for a baby now! Keep your fingers crossed for us!! Steph 350/142.5/140 (personal goal) (5'8") below surgeon's goal of 143!!

Stephanie, I've been reading your posts forever and didn't even realize we have the same re-birthday. You go girl! You've done better with this tool than anyone I've seen. More than 200 pounds in one year is unbelievable to me! I am so happy for you and I can't wait to continue to follow your progress and hear the happy news when you are expecting! I am also thinking about children, but I'm feeling a little selfish and worried about the weight gain during pregnancy. My hubby is like, "Don't worry, you will lose the baby weight easily," but I just think of Carnie Wilson and how much trouble she is having losing the baby weight. Do you ever worry about that? Congratulations again and HAPPY RE-BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! Kristen 362/203.5/???

well Happy Re-Birthday to you too!! yes i do worry about gain weight and not being able to lose it after the baby. i'm just going to have to watch myself while i'm pregnant and stay active. also my hubby promised me all my plastics will be done after i have a baby. so i'm looking forward to that. (i only want one child.) i told hubby that i feel selfish but i'd like to enjoy being thin for once in my life! he told me he understood that...luckily! he's excited about having a baby and he's really excited at the prospect of my having a boob job also! he's goofy. i figured i know i should wait to have a child BUT i'm not getting any younger!!

Stephanie, Happy re-birthday and congrates on all the great work. I look forward to reading your post and i've seen your profile and watched your progress, and to see your pictures now on befor/after you are truly and inspiration...I have a long way to go to get to my goal, I am losing slowly, but still very happy with my progress. I have not worked as hard as you, but seeing your progress makes me want to work harder...again happy re-birthday and I know you will reach your goal any minute now. Dawn 315/200/145-healthy
