Hi! I'm Marcie, and I live in southwestern Wyoming. I would love to lose 100 pounds, more, actually, but 100 is a good place to start.

I have lots of health issues due to my obesity, and it's all kind of a vicious cycle. I was diagnosed with type II diabetes about 5 years ago. I also have hypothyroidism, and I was diagnosed just last week with Celiac disease. My husband and I have struggled with infertility for four years, and that is one of the main reasons, along with my overall health, why I want to drop the weight. We have done every fertility intervention available, and none of them have worked. Our last doctor said no intervention would work because of my weight.

I just can't stand that. I don't want my weight to be the reason I don't become a mom. And I don't want my weight to be the reason I can't be a GOOD mom. So...I'm here. I've been having a hard time with the new gluten free diet. It seems like the weight just piles on...hopefully this tracking tool will work.

So...I'm here. It's nice to meet you. :)

    Welcome aboard Marcie. You've taken a good first step by signing on to MFP! It works if you stick with it! Good luck on your new journey!
