Well I'm 40 yrs old ,turning 41 in Dec. I met my first husband when I was 15 we got married when I was 17 and I had my first daughter when I was 18 and gained 75 lbs and feel like I never lost it. When I was in H.S. I played field hockey,Lacrosse, and swimteam. So imagine a nice tight body exploding with 75 pounds. I  have ungodly stretch marks that look like someone took a knife to my skin. I lost some weight but never ever lost it all and as time went on I played the weight yo yo game. Diet after diet.after 4 .5 years I got pregnant again with my son I didn't want to be pregnant because I didn't want to get fat again. So I basically starved my self for the first 6 mo of pregnancy but the last 3 months I couldn't resist and gained 60 pounds. 4 years later I decided to  become a Nurse when I graduated I was the biggest in the class 240 I through away all the pictures from graduation because they were so disgusting. My first job as a nurse was in a jail I know what yourr thinking right now but the pay was good and with all the compliments I was getting from the inmates how pretty I was but needed to lose some weight I took phen-phen and lost 100 pounds in 9 months and never felt better, shortly after my marriage fell apart and I met my true love we have been together for 12 years and in Jan married for 10.Hurray!!!! I love him to death and never has complained about my weight even though I'm 70 pounds heavier now . I have Twin girls that are 7 when I found out I was pregnant I weighed 218 and thought oh my god here we go again. I'm gonna be a whale, but surprisingly I ate what i was supposed to had protein shakes for the babies because I needed to consume 100g of protein per day and only gained 18 pounds. Some of you might be saying thats no weight but remember I was overweight to begin with. I think I came home 188lbs hurray!!! Now 7 years later i'm close again to that disgusting number for 240. On consult day I weighed 239 on PAT day I weighed 237. I'm scheduled for surgery 11/01/2007  I'm excited and also scared shitless.   Rina
