My name is Tamara and I have been fairly average all my life with few ups and downs.  However, after children that all changed.  Before my first child in 2004 I was around 130lbs and very happy at that weight.  When I stopped nursing about 10 months after he was born is when my weight started to sky rocket.  I went from a 6 to a 16 in a year and half.  I guess I thought I could eat the way I always had.  NOT.  I stayed that way until I got pregnant with my daughter in 2008. I actually lost weight with her from being so sick.  Six weeks after her birth I was at 184 from a starting weight of 216.  Again after nursing it came right back and here I was at 210 sick and tired of being fat.  My sister had the band in 2009 and had done really well with it, so I thought ok my turn.  So here we go!!!!
