Hi. My name is Michelle and I am 31. DH is 33 and we have an 8 year old DD. We all are of need of loosing weight. I have been overweight for most of my life and it has not been a problem until I had my daughter. I am so glad that I found this website because I could really use the support. I am really tired of being tired and in pain all the time. I have been dealing with infertility for about 4 years now and I really think that my weight is the main reason for that. I am really hoping that I can be successful on this weight and exercise program that I am starting.

Michelle,

My name is Melody and I, too, am in pain most of the time so I understand what you are going through. I need to lose 100+ pounds. I am 29, married, mother to a 3 year old boy and I teach English at Catholic School in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Thats what made my decision to turn to a healthier life, I feel like I'm starting to fall apart, I get winded going up a flight of steps, and my body just aches from carrying this weight around,
I wanted to tell you my infertility story..
I couldnt get pregnant for 5 years, I weighed close to 300 lbs and lost 75... I almost immeadiatly got pregnant, I have no doubt it was my weight, my body wouldnt let me get pregnant, because it would have been too much strain with all that weight. My son is 6 now, and from the 75 lbs, Ive kept about 50 off.. and Im ready to go the rest of the way!

Luck & Love,
Tiffany

Hi,
Hello,

I did not have any problem getting pregnant i have 2 babies almost 12 months apart, my problem is I am too tired to enjoy them. I would like to lose 100lbs. I want to be able to enjoy my kids and spend time doing activites with them, that at this point i dont enjoy doing because of my weight.

Good luck!

Thanks for your replies. It makes to feel like I am not alone on my quest to loose all this very much unwanted weight. What weight plans are you all on and what kind of exericese if any do you do. I started going to Curves again and it takes all my energy to make it around the circuit 3 times. I started reading Dr. Phil's weight loss book and I will be following his program.
Tiffany - Your infertility story really gives me hope for the future. We have undergone numerous fertility treatments that have all failed. Doctors say that it has nothing to do with my weight, but I know better than that. Hopefully by summer I can loose enough weight for me to be successful at getting pregnant.

Michelle,

I got pregnant with my son after trying for a while and it was right after I had lost weight. I had a friend that worked at Weight Loss Clinic and she had more than one client to end of pregnant after losing some weight. If you are overweight sometimes you stop ovulating just like girls who are too skinny so I think that losing weight may help you. I want to have another baby, too, but I am not even going to consider trying until I lose this weight. I was hospitalized for more than a week with my son because of extreme high blood pressure and severe fluid retention and I do not want to go through that again.
