I am a 28 year old female. I was diagnosed with Hyperinsulinemia about ten years ago, at which time I was prescribed Glucophage and a low carb diet. I never really took it seriously. Due to this condition I was told I would not be able to have children. In 2005, my husband and I moved to Florida. I was losing weight just from the heat, so that got the ball rolling
. I did everything I was prescribed (and exersized like crazy). I started at 250 lbs. in July 2005 and by Feb 2006 I was down to 162 lbs. And miraculously
found out I was pregnant!!! I had a beautiful baby girl in October 2006. But unfortunately
I had gained 65 lbs. I had a very difficult time after her birth. It took months for me to get back on my feet again
. After another stay in the hospital, blood transfusions, and surgery (to make a long story short) I'm back in the game. I am now down 40 lbs to reach my goal I have 42 lbs to go.
