(UPDATE 02/20/13): Restarted my weight loss journey because I really wanted to get pregnant w/ our 2nd child. I mean I also wanted to be healthier and look better but....becoming a mom again was at the top of my list. I put my foot down May 28th and started watching what I ate and started to exercise (mostly walking/running). I also restarted taking Metformin June 1st because of my PCOS.

Well I worked very hard. Slowly but surely. I started at 195 and got down to 175 by Oct 14th. ...

Well I worked very hard. Slowly but surely. I started at 195 and got down to 175 by Oct 14th. On Oct 18th I got the best news ever. I/We were pregnant!! Heard the baby's heartbeat on Nov 15th.

On January 24th we found out we were having a little girl!! I was thrilled! We had a son, so to be having a daughter just makes our little family complete. She will be due June 28th....just in time for her brother's 6th birthday...lol (His is June 29th).

So far the pregnancy has been pretty good. I did lose almost 15 lbs though in the 1st trimester due to 1.)nausea 2.) I had to get out of the eating to lose weight mind frame. I have since gained almost 10 lbs back but very slowly which is good.

I am really hoping to be able to get right back to where I was after my daughter is born so look for me to be on here then! I still check in every so often but don't have much to document so it is like I don't exist...but I will return with a vengeance...lol Until then...Keep Sparking!!!

A little bit about me...well....I am 30 years old. I am married to my best friend, high school sweetheart, and love of my life (Neil). Hard to believe that it has been 10 years June 8th! We have been together though for 15 years. Amazing when you can find that special person to annoy for the rest of your life...HA HA.

We have a 5 1/2 year old son, Connor. It took a long time for us to get pregnant with him because I have PCOS which gave us the trouble getting and staying pregnant. We did have 2 losses before he we had him but it just makes us a appreciate and love him even more!

Now I have 3 main reasons I want to lose the extra weight I have.

Reason #1-I want to get pregnant again.
I know when I was closer to my ideal weight, I was able to get pregnant with my son. I am not getting any younger and I know my son wants a sibling because he keeps asking for one! Plus I really want another baby...!

Reason #2 Probably going to sound vain but...I want to look good next summer!
I am tired of being the one wearing jeans in 100 degree weather! I want to wear tanktops and not be self-concoius about it. This summer is almost over and never did I wear a tanktop even though the weather totally called for it.

Reason #3 I just want to!
I want to feel better about myself and I don't like where I have taken myself. I love my husband and son...Now time to love myself a little bit more!

PLEASE feel free to add me as a spark friend. I LOVE having success stories to read and having someone else who has the same goals as me. I do way better when I have someone else to talk to about it!
