hey, everyone! i am holly and i am 21 years old (22 in october). I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a beautiful one year old daughter. When I was pregnant with her, I developed a very severe case of preeclampsia and swelled up, so bad that my two nephews, 6 and 4 years old, said that my feet looked like balloons. I was heavy to begin with, but this made it some much worse. I gained close to 80 pounds during the last months of my pregnancy. I haven't been able to loose it, no matter how hard I try. I weigh 270 right now. I am going to try harder to lose my weight though and needed a good support group to help me. =]
