Failed IVF Lost Weight and...

Many of you are new here and I don't know what has become of many of my forumn friends, but I wanted to share my news and joy with you. After my IVF failed in February this year I was too depressed to come back here. I decided that I would try to take the best care of myself and lose the extra weight. I needed to lose about 150lbs. to be at a healthy weight. I have lost a little over 60lbs. now and though I feel and look much better, I was going to keep pressing on at the gym and lose the rest and then go back to my doctor around March. Well it appears that I have been blessed and I just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant. We were not trying and I was not expecting this as I am still 100lbs overweight. My dr. said it may be my weight and I guess he was right! We are very excited and I am sending sticky vibes to all of my IVF friends and all the newcomers. I believe your dreams will come true!

That is great news!!!! Congrats! How did you lose the weight? I need to lose a ton of weight too but I only have until March to lose as much as I can. I am hoping that we get a large tax return so we can cycle in March but I really want to lose a ton of weight by then. TIA for any tips you may have and again congrats!
