    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.

    Thank you! Well prove him wrong! I'm joining because it's close to my kids' school and they are there all day so I will have plenty of time to workout and still be able to run any errands during the day.

    How I'm going to do it: more walking (fitness tracker and digital scale purchases in the near future), slow and steady is a must so I don't re injure anything. Also back to healthy eating and recording the food in MFP
