Nikki, your story is very similar to mine, only I never had infertility and I really can't blame my weight on pregnancy. During the years my children were small I gained on average 5-7 pounds per year. Every couple of years I'd lose maybe 15 pounds and then gain that and a few more. In my 30's I stayed around 200 pounds. Like you I am evenly distributed. But the older I got, the closer to 40 the more soft and jiggly I became LOL. In my 40's I finally took up walking as a way of life. But not until I was 47. But the food part has been hard. I know what to do, just not how to stay motivated to do it. I also did nutrisystem. Yuck, and you are right, yuck to spending so much and then having to buy and cook for everyone else. Besides that, my husband always wanted to eat that food. He's crazy. He hates for me to have anything that he doesn't have. I also did the diet pills and besides all the things you pointed out about the way they make us feel, I was clenching my jaw all day long and my mouth and jaw hurt a lot.Here we are. We can do this!
