I know how everyone loves before and after/ during pictures, I sure do.

First off, I would like to say that I started this journey for a baby. My husband has an extremely low sperm count and the only way for us to have a child was through IVF. I was denied because my BMI was 42.3 and I weighed 278lbs at 5' 8. I needed to be a BMI of 30 or lower before my doctor would look at me for IVF, (Invitro Fertilsazation) I am now at 27.8 at 183lbs. I don't care how much more I lose. I had a goal of 145lbs but don't care at this point. I am soooo happy at where I am, at this point. I get to start IVF in March. Unfortunately they found a Fibroid Tumor the size of a softball which will be surgically taken out on November 20th. I also don't care at this point about that tiny little obstacle on my journey. I am seeing a healthier me and a child in my future. I am not a 5/6 but a 9/10 and can't be more excited! I am happy and confident in myself and my future. To hear the little pitter patters of baby feet in my future is what makes me smile. Knowing that I can possibly have a healthy pregnancy and see my grand babies and hopefully great grand babies makes me smile I took this journey for a child but recently realized it was for myself as well.
