Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with Heather from Half Size Me about my weight loss, my pregnancy, and how I'm getting back to my goal weight after Lily was born.

Today you can check out a podcast featuring my interview with Heather at Half Size Me.

If you are new here from listening to the podcast... welcome!  If you want to know a little more about me check out the About Me page and my first post from 2010.  If you want to know the full story of my pregnancy with Lily or more about Turner Syndrome, please check out Lily's Story. 

Thanks for listening and visiting!

You might remember - or not if you're new - back in April of 2011, when this article appear in the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

Blogging it off: Lose weight, with help

It was the first time I've ever been published!

And now, with the help of another local new source, I've been published... again, or rather I should say Ms. Lily has been published.  Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Yesterday the Eagan Patch ran part 1 in a two-part series:
How Eagan's Lily Reitsma Beat the Odds
And today was Part 2.

I am so honored that their editor chose to do a story about Turner Syndrome and to help spread Turner Syndrome awareness!  Thank you!

Also... starting today, I'll be blogging regularly for the Patch.  Yes... I was feeling bored, you know with a 4 year old, 4 month old, and full time job, so I decided I needed something else to do!  I'll mostly be sharing content from here, but stayed tuned because you never know what might end up over there, that isn't posted here!

Now, if the line will form orderly to the left... we'll get started with the autograph signing...

First, I want to thank so many of you for sending me personal messages of prayers and encouragement this week.  Some familiar and some "lurkers".  I read and appreciate each note.  I save a lot of them, and in times I need it, I reread them.  They mean so much to me.

Secondly... my secret fan club (honestly didn't know I had one) must have been up to something recently, because one of my readers let me know earlier this week that I was nominated for Minnesota's most valuable blogger in the health/fitness/medical category! 
WOW!  I'm not going to beg for your vote or anything, but if you read my blog and you like it , then please consider voting for me.  You can actually vote once per day through September 9th!  I am among some great bloggers including Jen from Prior Fat Girl, which is just about as thrilling!

Anyways... I wanted to say thanks to whoever nominated me!
