Finally Starting?

ocumberland

I got married July of last year and I don't know what they call marriage weight but I gained a lot of it! I went to the doctor and he told me that if I wanted to get pregnant I would need to lose weight and fast. Now, my husband and I tried and something happened which made me realize that the doctor was right, and that if I wasn't going to change my habits and my way of life I would not only not be able to have kids (which we really would love to in the future) but maybe not live much longer and it's one thing that my husband and I pray every night to god to help us become healthy but when the next day we do everything opposite of anything healthy it doesn't help. I am hoping that doing this will give a good example to my husband. I hate sweating and that's a huge problem but I have bought my exercise dvd's and I crank down the A/C and it works! I am not saying my habits are the best but they help, and I have a good friend named Sam who is helping me! If anyone has any advice, it'd be great!
