Congratulations and best of luck!
I always thought that too! It was such a shock to find that I wasn't actually big-boned at all. I'm actually quite small - who knew?? haha I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I'm small, it takes a long time for the mind to catch up!
carol - What started me was the fact that I couldn't conceive due to my weight, so I initially lost about 60 pounds (from 260-200) in 2006-2007 and conceived my son. Fast forward a couple of years with another baby thrown in there, I was finally ready as I started to contemplate my future and my children's futures....I really want to be active and involved with them. I didn't try to lose any weight between pregnancies...I just was never ready I guess...but then something clicked a few months after my 2nd child, my daughter was born.
Thanks everybody!!
