  I'm interested!  It's looking like IUI #5 is a BFFN, so I am taking the next few months off to try and drop some weight.  Anything would help, and I think a check-in would be great!

  I love the idea of a check-in, and I hope we'll get more girls who hope to lose more than a few pounds.  Last time we attempted this, it seemed like most folks only had a small amount of weight to lose....what if we did a biggest loser sort of thing?  Obviously it would need to be on the honor system, and the prizes certainly wouldn't be as awesome, but it could be fun to have a little healthy competition.

  Mary/Meepit--

  I love the biggest looser idea, it sounds fun and motivating!

  I will RP this again later today/this evening-- hopefully some of the girls who posted last night will be interested as well....  It would be fun to get a decent size group of us on this!

  Hi Ladies!

  I think the post your talking about was mine from last night. After eating at Red Robin I felt like a total pig! I think the weightloss check-in is a great idea. I was going to post about this later today but i'm glad you did. I remember we did this before but the person who was in charge of them just quite posting them. Not sure what happened. Anyways, like a p.p, said it was girls that usually only had a couple pounds to shed, unlike me. I love the biggest loser idea so just keep me updated on the days you'll be posting the check-ins and all the details. GL to us losing weight!   

  ETA: Does anyone else think their weight is the reason they are not concieving? DH's swimmers are fine but i have PCOS. I know they say if you loose weight you can dramaticlly increase your chances. For whatever reason i continue to eat instead of exercise

  Yeah, DH had an SA two weeks ago and got a passing grade. I have PCOS and am overweight (BMI 35.7 or so), so now it feels like it's all my fault. Metformin is helping lower the sugar cravings, though. I don't snack at night as much as I used to, and I've been good about working out the last 3 weeks. Haven't really lost anything yet, but haven't gained any, so trying to stay positive. A check-in sounds like a fun motivation to keep going.

  count me in! I have more than 30lbs to lose, lots more. I have PCOS too, and feel the same way. I was just telling a friend (saif'er) last night, that I dont know whats wrong with me. I keep saying its my weight, thats holding me back.. but I still reach for the coke and hot cheetos! I am so mad at myself.

  I think this is a great idea.. it would be better if we were closer. Then we could workout together too.
