Default Hi New here...
Hi there. First I thought I posted this before earlier today but I can't find it now so if I did and you are reading this again I am sorry. My name is Sharon, I am 29 years old, and I live in WV. I just happened across this site today and I am so glad I did!
I am EXTREMELY overweight as you can see by my tracker. Here is a bit about my history. At my senior prom I weighed 164 (I am 6'0") so that isn't too bad. My prom dress was a size 10. I want to be there again. I have 2 children (8 and 4). I gained over 100lbs with my first pregnancy, I took eating for 2 to a whole new level. It took me a little over 2 years to loose it, not even all of it just about 1/2 of it. I then got pregnant with my second child. My doctor said he didn't want me gaining anymore that 35 pounds tops. I saw him the day before I delivered and had gained 34.5 so I cut it close. All of that came off quickly. I was in my regular clothes in about 2 weeks. I then had a total hysterectomy 11 months later and am now on Estrogen replacement therapy. My doctor just did a bunch of tests and diagnosed me insulin resistant. I haven't been back to him yet to discuss the game plan on how to manage this, I have just spoken with him by phone, but I have done my research on this. So I am feeling the cards are stacked against me here. I gained 135 after the hyster on hormones and I am miserable. I want to be around for my kids and beable to do the things they want to do and feel better about my self.
Well there is a bit about me. I hope to get to know you all,
Sharon
