My name is Gina and I am 30 years old. I am married to a wonderful man, Tony. We have a 4 year old daughter, Kendall. My family is my life! I have always been overweight...even as a child. I have baby pics of myself and I was more than just "cute and chubby." I have tried diet after diet since I was about 14 yrs old. Diets ranging from the notorious grapefruit diet to Atkins to Weight Watchers. Granted WW did help me to lose 30 lbs about 7 years ago but of course I gained it back two-fold. I originally started my weight loss journay back in October. I  decided on the Lap-Band and my doctor sent my medical records and a letter of neccessity to my insurance company.  It was put on hold the first of November as my husband and I found out we were expecting our first child together. We were suprised and overjoyed!  However, three weeks later it was shattered when I lost the baby. My doctor told me I needed to get healthier and loss weight to lower my chances of that happening again in future pregnancies. So once again I started my weight loss journay.
