Lose that last 25 pounds, no matter how much gym memberships and class memberships cost. :)

Amen to that. Lose the "muffin top" that lops over my pants and gets some muscle!

Ditto to Melisa and Noelle. Stop putting off losing those last 25 pounds because I might get pregnant this month. 10 months later I find myself in the same spot, not losing the weight and not pregnant!

Annie! This was totally me! "oh, why lose the weight when I'm just going to get pregnant and gain it all back?" Uh, hello, still not pregnant... At least I lost 45 pounds last year, so I don't beat myself up about that.

I need to eat healthier. Stop it with the french fries (oh how I love salt!)

I'm in love with salt too. I can say no to chocolate if I need to, but I crave salt a lot. Probably a sign of some vitamin deficiency, huh.

Another thing I'm going to do for me this year is buy Twilight. :) And I want to go to Time Out for Women. Can I pick 3 things???

OOOOOH! Melisa! I want to come with you!! I've always wanted to go to TOFW!:) Let me know when and where! :)

As far as me, I've decided I'm going to take an hour or so every week to work on my projects/hobbies/learning new things. I have so many projects I want to sew, cakes I want to try and decorate and paintings left unpainted that I am going to finally take time for me!

Melisa-
That is awesome that you lost 45 pounds! Any pointers or tips for those of us that are still trying to lose baby weight 2 1/2 years later.

The Next Step

By Dirk and Trish -
After my laparoscopy in June for endo, the dr. gave us 3 months to get pregnant. Well, 3 months is up, so today we met with the specialist to decide what to do next. We were given three choices (I know many of you have been there, just wanted to give some info for newbies). Option 1 is clomid and IUI (~$650/cycle), Option 2 gonadotropins (I think it was $3000-5000/cycle), Option 3 IVF (~$14,000/cycle). The dr. recommended, and we had previously discussed, option 1. The prices are just what I was told, so they probably are not standard. I just find it helpful to have some idea what I'm up against, so thought I'd include it in case it gives someone else a baseline to work from.We missed out on timing for this cycle, so we actually have 1 more try at the old fashioned method, then we start clomid next month. Apparently the chances of a procedure working are best in the first 3 months, so we're really hoping this next step is it.

My next approach

I thought I'd share a couple of things I'm going to try next. I wish I was posting this because I had been successful with one of them, but some of them state they take up to 3 mos. so I don't want to wait until then to tell you about it, in case one of you wants to try one of these things sooner, with me! These are some things I've been researching, and gathering info about, because they are less drastic than some of the medical approaches. Other things I like about them is that they are geared towards becoming healthier-so even if you don't get pregnant, you're not out anything, and you may have gained some other benefit, like eating better. Last but not least, though there is some expense involved, I think it will still be cheaper than some of the diagnostic testing and procedures. Here are some of the things I am thinking about trying... A fertility diet: I learned about this from a co-worker. She used fertility for her first child, and it didn't work th...
