My Story
I have recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on November 30, 2008. I have been using the 'I still have a lot of extra baby weight' a bit too much, so I think it is time that I lose weight so I can finally fit into regular clothes instead of wearing sweats all the time. Before I got pregnant in March of 2008 I weighed about 170 and I was pretty content with that, even though I wished that I weighed less sometimes. When I went in to give birth I weighed 249 because I ate everything coming and going! All of the baby weight that I have lost thus far was before my 6 week postpartum checkup. I have not lost anymore weight since. I want to be able to put on a nice outfit and look in the mirror and be satisfied with the way I look and feel confident about myself when I go places. I have made an appointment to go to Carolina Bariatrics this coming Monday, March 9th to start a regimin of Phentermine and weekly shots of Hcg along. I already have begun to eat healthy and drink nothing but water and ocassionally a glass of grape juice (my favorite)! I hope to be 150 or atleast soemwhere close to that my July/August. Well that about sums it up I guess...I would love to hear your story also, especially women who are trying to lose baby weight too, and those of you who also take/have taken Phertermine or Hcg shots!
