HI everyone,I am new to this site,and am looking forward to sharing my experiences here.First let me say thanks in advance to those who will be brave eough to read this "novel" I am a 30y.o. mom of 4(11,10,7,&4months)I am an ARMY wife,and have been married to my high school sweetheart for 11 years(together14).I didn't have a problem with my weight until 2 years ago.My thyroid went haywire causing me to gain 50 pounds in 6 months.It was awful,I was misdiagnosed the whole time until finally they got it right.I am now taking synthroid every day,and was actually given a prescription for Phentermine last year,but after 1 month of taking it (I lost 10 pounds then by the way)I started feeling ill and turns out I was pregnant with our "miracle" baby.I had an IUD and was NOT supposed to be pregnant. But my son was determined to be on this earth(for which I am grateful for)and so due to complications I couldn't exercise as I had done with my previous preganacies. I gained 24 pounds(he weighed in at 8lbs 8oz.one month premature,and YES he was definately a month early) while I was pregnant and lost all 24 with in a month of having him.SO I now have the original 50 to lose.A good weight for me is 165-170,if I go below 165 people actually think I am sick or something. Luckily I am (or WAS) muscular and carried my weight well.When I weigh 170 I am a size 10 which is just where I want to be.So I will be filling my prescription on Monday and we will see how it goes.I am being started on 30 mg for 3 months,but I go back in 2 and if I am doing OK then the doc will give a scrip for 37.5.I want to lose 40-50 pounds by JULY because right now my Hubby is overseas(NOT IRAQ THANK GOD BUT HE IS STILL GONE FOR THE YEAR-UNTIL NOV.)and he will come home in July for a one month visit.I should point out that he doesn't know I am going to take these pills.He loves me no matter what and some times he actually drives me nuts when he says he thinks I still look the same and beautiful and I'm thinking HELLO? missing the extra 50 pounds I got buddy?LOL But I would rather have him drooling over me, oblivious to the weight (like he is now) than be one of those hubby's who "mention"their wife needs to lose some. So this is my "story" in a nutshell.Thanks to all who hung in for this long story,but alas to know me is to know my story LOL Looking forward to joining ya'll(yeah I'm TEXAN!!) on this journey. SO here are my stats:
5'7"
CW:219(GASP!!!!)sz14/16
GW:160/170(BY JULY)sz10
