My name is Amanda and I am 27 years old. I have one child who is three, one on the way and a wonderful husband. I've always been overweight. Since graduating high school, I have not been below 190 lbs. After I had my son, I hit an all time high of 274 lbs! Before joining this website I had lost around 30 lbs and hit a three month plateau. Now I hope seeing and reading about all these people going through the same struggle I am will inspire me to stick to what I know I can do! *UPDATE* I have maintained a weight in the 230's for the first trimester of this pregnancy. If I can manage not to get above 245 by the time this baby is born I will have a fantastic chance of being below 200 by the end of this summer. SO EXCITED!
