Hello, my name is Sandra. I have to confess, I signed up on this site a while back but never really kept up with my weight loss goals. My hubby and I are currently going through fertility treatment and I know that we would increase our chances of success if I could just get to a healty weight. They have me pumped up on so many meds, I don't seem to have control over my hormones/moods....I recently started working out everyday to help with my moods and to help me feel normal again. So far so good :smile:

I'm so glad to see that their is a support system here that will help me connect to others on the same journey. :happy:

    I did the same thing, I signed up about 2 months before I actually started using the site. Good luck in your journey and hope you get happy news soon!

    I did the same thing too! I signed up a long time ago and kept up with it for about a week before quitting again. I'm deciding today to start again so maybe we can be each other's support! I know I certainly am going to need a LOT of it. :)

    Hi there! I have loved having the support!

    Good luck with the fertility treatments. :flowerforyou: I too am working on getting pregnant (had a m/c just over a month ago).

    It is nice to be a part of something where people have the same goal with getting healthier.

    You can do it!

    Hey, I joined about two weeks ago and have been keeping up with my calories and exercise. However, only today (by looking online instead of at my iPhone App) did I realise there is a community! It's brilliant to see all these other people who are in the same boat.

    My current weight is 161 pounds (I'm 5'5) but I'd like to reach 135 pounds and am currently on the Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred.

    Anyway, welcome:)

    Good luck with everything. I am again starting the weight loss journey after my fertility treatments finally worked (yah!!) and I had a baby boy. I know what you mean about the meds and the moods. Good luck with everything!

    For sure!! I really struggle with staying ontop of healthy eating habits. The worst is working my butt off at the gym and then stuffing my face. lol

    I'm so sorry about your m/c. I will keep you in my prayers....Lots of baby dust for the both of us :heart:

    Congrats on your baby!!! That gives me so much hope. I've had three IUIs with no success :ohwell:

    We are in the process of transferring two embys the first week of August...So I want to get in as much excercise and healthy eating as I can.
