    Thanks for letting me join! I really need this! I have been on a downward spiral since I miscarried in July, then got even worse as my husband got a vas and I was and am not ready for that chapter of my life to be over, and then to find out his brother and wife are expecting in April like I was and her telling me that she didn't and doesn't want to be pregnant. Not something a woman with multiple miscarriages who would love another baby wants to hear when she can no longer have another. Ok enough depressing talk.

    I plan on joining a gym and ask for a personal trainer just to help me get back onto a good exercise routine. Anyone else joining a gym?
    I'm so sorry for your loss :( I'd love to join a gym, but hubby has forbidden it until I use the weight bench we have in the garage for a few months and prove that I will stick with a workout routine.

    Successes/struggles this week: I put "ish" because I was a solid 160 before the holidays. I'm hoping this is just junk that needs to leave my body and not "fat". We'll see. I'll weigh in again January 8th!! *fingers crossed*

    Successes/struggles this week: I do really well during the day, but at night it's so easy for me to grab take out instead of making dinner. Part of my New Year's resolution is to be a better meal planner and stop eating out so much, so hopefully that will no longer be my struggle!

    Amanda,

    I find it far easier if I sit down and plan out my evening meals for the week. I even have a dry-wipe thing on my fridge so that I know what I'm doing otherwise I'd find it too easy to go down the take-away/junk route.

    I clearly don't lead a very exciting life...
