    Well, my first goal was to lose 10% of my starting weight and run a 5K. I did both by Mother's Day weekend in May. But then I got a little monthly visitor that thanks to PCOS I had not gotten in quite a while. Okay, so maybe my body's in better shape now that I'm taking care of it, controlling those symptoms as well. We went on a vacation and I was totally confident strutting the beach in a (modest) two piece, so I have a great NSV there. Only gained two pounds while on vacation. I assumed it was water weight, because if I was going to have the "visitor" again, it would show up our last day at the beach.

    But it didn't come on Friday.
    Or Saturday.
    Or Sunday.
    Or Monday.
    But, dawgone it, I felt PMS-y and sore.
    So Tuesday, I went to the store and picked up a PT.

    For the first time in 11 years of trying to conceive, and 18 months after adopting two precious little girls from Russia, I saw - for the first time ever - a positive Pregnancy Test result!

    I always dreamed about posting my MFP success story when I met my fitness and weight loss goals. But this one really threw me for a loop.

    Thanks for helping me stick to the plan, guys!

    Wonderful news, thanks for sharing... just keep on being sensible with your eating and exercising... with our 4th child we conceived her 4 weeks after I had started an excellent fitness programme back in the 70s when we were living in Connecticut... SW was probably 185 lbs, and when we left to come back to UK I was 6 months pregnant and 146 lbs - our daughter was small (she takes after my DH) at 5lbs 10 oz, but perfectly healthy, as was I!!! Sadly with 4 small children, a house move to a new area when she was only 5 months old, and back to the delicious chocolate digestive biscuits, I gradually gained again.
