Well, that was when I weighed about 320 and on BP meds. Guess they thought there was a good chance they'd have to pay up.

LITTLE BIT OF WEIGHT Christy you are doing GREAT Your almost 100 POUNDS Down that is WONDERFUL

-- Re: Re: Hi Gretchen! Welcome aboard!

Way to go on quitting cigs!!!!! I never smoked but I saw my parents struggle with quitting and I know it isn't easy. Boy were you right about us being women who know where you are in life. I think all of us know that feeling. A little year ago I lost my dad (long story for another post) and it was then my husband and I decided to make sure we had everything in order in case something happened to either of us. Turns out we didn't have nearly enough life insurance. So we tried to open a term policy for each of us. His went through with no problem, and mine was denied because of my weight!!!! Can you believe that? Well, if the insurance co. thinks there's a good chance I'll die young, than I need to change that.

I was just saying to my mom tonight that if I had known losing this little bit of weight was going to make me feel so much better, I'd have started years ago.

Welcome! You will definitely find the support you need here!

So, tell > me about yourself..........if you read yesterdays posts you will > learn somewhat about us.> We are all very, very.> EleanoraWell hello there Eleanora. I am a stay at home mom of a 2 1/2 year old boy . We live in Fairbanks, Alaska where my husband is a firefighter. It's been hard moving up here from California where I grew up. Since moving here 5 years ago I have gained 100 pounds. I put on 30 when I tried to quit smoking. Of course the weight stayed and so did the cigerettes. Then I had my son and gained 76 pounds with him. He was 10lbs 2oz. So that explains some of the weight. Mostly it was not having a coat large enough to cover my pregnant belly to go out and I would have to spend weeks indoors. There is no such thing as plus maternity clothes in my town. As a matter of fact we have hardly any clothes here at all. I did really well and lost all my pregnancy weight it took about 18 months and I had made below my pre-preg weight (270) and then I had a huge fight with my mother. She basically disowned me. Which I'm not sure that's a bad thing now. My mother screwed with my head pretty bad and I grew up thinking I wasnt a very good person. So I turned to my best friend the refrigerator!!! Now at 330 I can't do this. I am so afraid I will get in an accident and my husbands co-workers will have to pull me out of my car and not be able to lift me. So here I am turning to other women who know where I am in life.Oh and by the way I finally did kick the cigerette habit.I hope that introduces me a little.Gretchen
