About MeI am the mother of 4 beautiful children, 3 I was lucky enough to give birth to myself and 1 that I am grateful to call my stepson.
I am married to my best friend (no really, no clichés here). I met my hubby in high school and we were friends through the years during high school and finally started dating about 3 years after high school and that was 11 years ago this year. Somewhere in there we got married and had babies! During my first pregnancy I gained over 60 pounds and was already a little over weight when I found out I was pregnant. I was devastated when I left the hospital weighing a few pounds MORE than when I checked in. How was that possible to deliver a 7 and a half pound baby (plus fluids and placenta, etc.) and gain weight? Over the next few months I slowly lost about half of that weight but managed to but it right back on with my next two pregnancies. I am starting this journey on blood pressure medications for high blood pressure that developed during pregnancy and hasn't resolved since I have birth just over a year ago. My goal is to lose weight, gain muscle and energy and get off my blood pressure medication. |

I started my journey on the newly FDA approved weight loss medication Contrave yesterday and have been looking for something like this for a few days now. I like to know what I am getting myself into and what I can expect, with no luck finding such reviews I decided to start my own. .
