My weight problems happened as an adult. It began w/ preganancy where
I gained 50lbs (for a 9lb baby)

Any diabetics in the family? 9lb. babies can be a red flag.


Nope - no diabetics in this family. And no gestational diabetes
problems w/ the preganancy either. I've got 2 uncles that are well
over 6'7" tall, and my brothers are both over 6'2" tall, and I've got
2 other uncles that are over 6'2" tall and then my ex's family - his
dad is 6'2" ...

Big in height is hereditary. My son was 8lbs 15oz when he was born
and totally healthy. At 9 yrs old he's 4'10" tall and 82lbs right
now. Tall, but not heavy.
