28 yrs old. married to a smart brainiac. we have 2 boys, 2 yrs and 6 months. I grew up super skinny, playing sports through highschool. when I went to college I wasnt playing any sports and met my future husband. I was comfortable an gained 40 lbs in 2 yrs. And just kep putting on the weight. In 2005 we got married and I lost 35 lbs on the 6 week body make over and circuit training.

I have since had 2 babies very close together so I didn't lose weight between them. With my second I gained double what I did with the first. I was 314 lbs the week I went into labor which turned into an unexpected c-section :(! I started Atkins with my dad and husband on April 5, 2010. I did induction phase for 1 week and lost 13 lbs, but realized that excessive weight loss changed my breastmilk production drastically. I moved into pre-maintenance phase and have since lost another 5 lbs.

I have made the decision that I cannot bear to hear Doctor's tell me I am a relativly healthy woman, but am also considered OBESE! I am 6'1" so I can hide my weight. I know that this will be a battle the rest of my life, but I am ready to take it on.
