Hi,

My name is Clara. :) I'm a recent newlywed and paramedic-in-training, on my way to losing 60 pounds!
My husband and I long deeply to start our family and have tried to do so for many years with no success. He has 2 healthy children, while I have had a wide range of adventures with pregnancy, most of them involving rare conditions or complications. After 6 years, we have had 4 losses... with no answer in sight. My bloodwork is fine.
My anatomy is fine.
We are SUPER fertile.
I have weight to loss, but my blood pressure and other stats are awesome.
So what the heck is wrong, I continue to wonder??
My husband and I decided, we are sick of relying on someone else to answer our questions when I know my body can start healing on its own!

I joined this community so I can become more physically fit, track the quality of my food and log my water intake. Damn it, I'm having a baby! 😂😂

Goal weight for my ideal BMI is 135-140, and I weigh 194 now. I need support outside of my close circle, no one knows we are trying to conceive again after we lost our son last year.
Who else needs to lose 40-60 pounds?!

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Good luck with your journey!

    I experienced three losses over 6 years with no explanation before getting (surprise!) pregnant with my daughter. I'm losing the weight now that she's a toddler, but am 43 lbs into a 60 lb journey. Wishing you the best of luck and support. I know this is such a hard thing for the heart!
