I am a 29 year old woman who was on her way to a healthy weight (losing over thirty pounds) when she found out the impossible had happened. Told I was probably never going to have children without a WHOLE lot of work, I was quite surprised to have the news I was pregnant arrive. A rather rough pregnancy cut out almost all of my workouts, and morning sickness for nine months made it very difficult to eat right. I watched helpless as I gained all thirty pounds back and numbers kept going higher. All together I gained fifty pounds during my pregnancy. After the little chick was forced out surrounded by much drama, I started walking with her as soon as I was cleared to do so. But all the havoc she wreaked on my body left me with torn ligaments in my foot, nerve misfirings in my hip, and pain everywhere else. We had to stop walking after a month because the pain was too bad. I am now hoping to slowly work on better eating and light workouts to get my weight down far enough that regular exercise will become possible.
