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.

Hi Marcie, my name is Laurie. I am looking to drop weight in order to start a family in the near future too! I am on DAY 2 using my MFP...I am really hoping I stay with it this time and lose the weight once and for all!
Let's do this!!!0 -
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!0
