Hi, I'm new! My name is Melissa or Lissa... whatever is fine. I've committed several times to doing something about my weight, but I'm finally ready to make this a life change not just until I reach a goal.

Over the past year my husband and I have been ttc baby #2 with much difficulty. On top of a few other things my weight seems to be causing complications with my ovualtion. Even if I were to use fertility drugs to control ovulation, I fear the pregnancy would be filled with complications and I just wouldn't feel 100% at my best to take care of two children later.

I'm currently between 215 and 210 my goal is to reach 160.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Lissa!

Welcome fellow Michigan resident! I know how you feel - having committed several times to lose weight only to fall off the band wagon a few weeks later... I too want to make this a permanent life change, but it's so hard when I love chocolate and pizza Good luck with your weight loss!

Lissa!!! Continued success on your lifestyle change!!
