Its been a year....
I cant believe that a year ago tomorrow I had the surgery that saved my life and allowed my dream to come true!
To date I have lost 140lbs prior to getting pregnant with my most precious blessing! I am currently 16 weeks pregnant, and starting to feel my baby move!
All I wanted was to be a mother and when I was told I wouldnt conceive because of my "weight issues" I decided to make a change in my life and have surgery!
Not even a year later, my dreams were coming true.
Hope all of you have acheived your dreams and feel as great about this choice as I do!

Congratulations on all your success and I sincerely hope all goes well for you. I know you have had great weight loss and many positive for yourself and that makes me happy for you.
I on the other hand have been unable to reach my goal due to being injured while I was working. SO since 1-10-2010 I have been in bed and unable to workout and walk 4-6 miles a day. I am a massage therapist and miss my clients and colleagues as well. I injured myself on my second massage. Still waiting on the mri to be authorized my my works insurance. Praying once I get better I can get back into the groove of it all. I am just thankful that I haven't gained during this time and I have stayed at my weight. Yet 85 pounds are gone and I am still thankful for that.
God Bless and Many Wishes for you and all the other Feb 2009ers

Honestly, I did a little exercising, but I am ashamed that I didnt do like a lot of you, with walking several miles a week and working in the gym....I just kept a very close eye on my calorie intake and the weigh kinda fell off. I guess once I got to a certian point my body realized I wasnt playing and if it didnt play by my rules...Id just starve it. LOL.
Im really worreid about weight gain with baby. Im worried I wont have that "honeymoon" period to lose all the fat. So I am trying not to gain any extra if I dont have to, but thats not easy cause I crave nothing but carbs and sugar! UGH!
Best of luck to you, I will pray that you recover fully from your injury and that things will work out, just keep trying and stay positive!
