wow guinea piggy, that is exciting for you. i just had my baby a year ago now. i can't believe it's already been that long. only now do i have time to get online and chat with you folks. when i got pregnant i weighed somewhere around 190 pounds and i am 5'4". i had no problem getting pregnant, in fact it came as quite a surprise. i never thought my weight would be an issue for getting pregnant or being pregnant. i was more concerned that i was a bit old at 32, but now i realize how ridiculous that is. anyway, i had no problems during pregnancy and i even gained more weight, of course. i gave birth to a healthy baby girl and she's perfect. of course now i have all this weight to lose and it's a bit overwhelming. i have been reading some of your posts on the blog and am really inspired by your experiences. keep up the good work and don't worry too much... everything will be fine.
