Back to check out the non-surgical weight loss board

Jun 20, 2009

Hey everyone! Not sure if many of you remember me... I was denied surgery in February by my insurance.. and my husband and I really didn't have the means to pay for the surgery... so I started to try to lose on my own. Well I was able to get my weight down 10lbs (sometimes 15... it depended on the day! lol) to 265lbs. I think God had other plans for me because alittle over a month after finding out the insurance denied me we found out we are pregnant again!! I am now 16 weeks pregnant, my son just turned One a few weeks ago... life is on a whirlwind! I am proud because this time I am watching my weight rather than pretending its not there. I am now a study 263-262lbs. I have been eating those healthy choice meals because they are good and quick and fairly healthy. My goal is to try to lose down to 255lbs before the baby starts to really gain weight. When I was pregnant with my son, I only ate once a day most days.. and then I would overeat at that one meal. Not a good idea. It didnt only make me tired and sick... it was probably the cause of my weight gain. This time around I am trying to eat every few hours... at least 3 times a day... even if its just something small. I think overall that is going to help keep this weight down. I joined babyfit.com because they have an overweight trying to lose while pregnant board.. but its not very active.. and I would like more support.. or at least someone to talk to about my weight woes. So I decided to stop back here to good ol' OH to check out the non-surgical weight loss board and see what other support I can get. The sting of being denied with my surgery has faded... so I am encouraged to end this pregnancy better than I started! :) And to continue to lose after.
