Thank you! Yes, my surprise pregnancy story is a fun one considering I was about 420-430 lbs and had PCOS. Miracle baby? I think so!

Good luck and welcome! You already know that you need to get your head stuff worked out - honestly, that's the absolute hardest part of this journey.

Welcome to a great forum and congrats to you on the start of a wonderful journey.   I second the thought that the head stuff is the hardest by far to deal with.   When the weight is falling off its not so bad, but when you get closer to goal it is the hardest part.  Good for you for recognizing that there is already an issue!!!

Lots of 5K's, 10K's., 4 1/2 Marathons, 3 Sprint Triathlon done. 2 Olympics and my  First IRONMAN 70.3 September 2013 and First Full Marathon Dec 2013  !!!!!

Welcome to the forum!! I think there are a few people that will tell you that therapy has been the biggest help for them, I am in the process of finding a provider myself. The head hunger doesn't go away just because your stomach is smaller. Really excited to get to know you, and wishing you the best on your continued Journey!
