Hello! I figure I'd say hi here instead of making a thread about it. As you can see, I'm Sarah and currently pregnant. I am about 90lbs overweight. I did manage to lose 60-something pounds back in 2004 because I was homeschooled and able to do anything I wanted for P.E. and so chose belly dancing and for some reason just had the will to eat right. Not only that but I was really into Dance Dance Revolution and played for 8 hours a day on the weekends. The 60-something pounds had me go from 193 to 142 in about 9 months. It took me two years to start gaining anything back. I began gaining weight because of depression caused by stress at work. Then, when I was 175lbs my then boyfriend wanted a break and I became really depressed and ate a ton and drank tons of soda and went from 175 to 235 in 7 months. Only good thing is that I'd gained a lot of muscle so I was only one size up from the size I was at 193.

I hope to continue doing well with maintaining a safe and healthy weight gain during my pregnancy (so far have only gained 2lbs). And afterward I would love to begin changing my lifestyle again so I may be a good role model for my little one and be able to keep up with him and feel better about myself.
