Introduction Text I'm a girl in my 30's who's trying to get my life on track. I've worked hard on being emotionally, mentally & spiritually healthy that I'm finally ready to work on being physically healthy too! I want the happiness I have on the inside to be shown on the outside too. UPDATE 7/9/12: Well, my baby girl, Sonnie, is one and we've finally settled into a routine that takes away the excuses. When I first started SP, I was 210 lbs and after the pregnancy and first year of Sonnie's life, I kept my weight just under 200. That alone was a huge success to me to maintain rather than to gain. I'm back now to make those numbers go down even lower. UPDATE 3/18/11: So I'm back a little earlier than anticipated because I've been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes and need a place to get support in managing it. What better place than SP?!? Otherwise the baby is super healthy so far and I've been really excited to keep my weight gain to a minimum. UPDATE 11/18/10: Who knew when I signed up for SparkPeople in September that I was actually in my 4th week of pregnancy?!? Certainly not me - after 8 years of infertility, it seemed surreal, especially b/c this happened w/o meds or really much planning at all! Part of me worried that I starved the poor kiddo with my initial weight loss but I actually think that all that healthy eating and exercise played a role in it being successful.
