I just told my husband your story and his remark was, it's no ones f'in business! Being an uncle is great. And being a wonderful husband is a hard job. Smile! we are all here for you.

Jim, My heart breaks for both you & your wife, along with my daughter & son in law. When you descibed getting the news of no success, I understand completely b/c I watch my beautiful daughter & sil go through that same pain. In this case, it is my daughter who is having the problems.She can produce eggs, but they won't stick. They just started their second round of IVF . I'm sure they're terrified and I'm scared b/c I really don't want them to feel that pain again. When they were first married they did get pregnant once on there own and at 6mths their little girls nursery was all finished, but 2 days before Thanksgiving she was delivered dead. So I hope and pray 3 is the magic number. I have a hard time understanding why couples that have everything to give a child can't conceive, while unwed mothers with no support can have baby after baby. I don't get it! My daughters boss after having an argument with her son, came out and told my daughter she should rethink about trying to have a baby. It takes all kinds! All I can say is I am so sorry and I hope and pray God will be good to you and your honey. (((((((((hugs))))))))

Hi If you look at my blog earlier,I lost around 7 pounds at most every month.Then I said whatever and decided to eat what I enjoy.Started buying chicken breast,veal and beef stirfry meat.I lightly floured it and shallow fried it in a wok with olive oil.With this I also fried some onion and capsicum,lots, and found myself eating this ALL THE TIME.LOTS of it.At least 250g per day.Some days more.I also went back to full fat milk and use loads in my 5 cups of tea per day.Another thing I did was add 2 dolchi letche (spelling incorrect) cappuchinos per day.Full fat.I upped my vitamins and voila,dropped a load of weight with breaded fried proteins.Worked for me!But I wasnt aiming to lose much at all before the holiday as I made my new years goal in November so I didnt feel pressured to lose.Maybe thats why I did.Bought all my clothes in November (for the holiday) and they were to big even before we left..lol Started asking myself why this happened which lead me to do some research into fat.My carbs were easily 20 from the milk and another 30 from the flour.My fats were up to who knows what.I now follow a full fat,50 carb,lots of protein plan and even now,after the holiday,I am dropping steadily.My whole family is back on full fats and the food is tastier than ever before.I have come to the conclusion that we need fat.Healthy fat.Sugar is my enemy,not fat and not complex carbs. One other thing.We also ate a lot of spicy food then.Have a student from India staying with us now and she's teaching me to cook Indian.They use loads of fat as well.I think the spicy food made me eat less as well.Who knows. It still scares and amazes me to eat like this.I expect to gain every day when I weigh but I am actually losing about .3 per day now.I deliberately slow this down as I am only 3 pounds from goal and dont know what I will do once Im at goal.So Im stretching this out a bit..hehehe! Maybe just try something different.Food,the right kind though,that you never eat.Spicy food.Caffine.More fish,more meat. Dont rush yourself.I causes stress that makes us want to eat.You have come so far already an people dont really see how much we have lost,just that we have lost.It was pressure to lose the first 96, now enjoy losing the last 20.I cN even laugh at the scale when I get on it 22:00 in the evening and it is 3 pounds heavier than in the morning.Previously it freaked me out. Good luck for the last 20.

I am right there with you Jim. My hubs and I have no problems getting pregnant, but I can't seem to carry past the 10-12 weeks. I have had 3 miscarriages. Each one broke our heart a little more. I decided to have lapband before we try again. We are suppose to try again this summer but I am so freaked the same thing will happen. People are always asking us about having kids, some times I get so feed up with it. One time I blurted out and said well after losing 3 babies I guess I will have one when my uterus cooperates any more questions. We have had lots of test done, but nothing has given us any answers as to why. So when I tell people my story they always reply with do worry it will happen when the times right- I want to scream at that one to. How the hell do they know my uterus will play nice next time. People have no tact what so ever. I wish I could make you feel better, but I know I can't. Just know you are not alone in your feelings.

jim...ingnorant people are just ignorant. i am so sorry some mindless thinking people posted thoughtless things. sometimes people just say things that are better left unsaid. i wish i could take it away and make you feel better. i love ya.

My dr didn't tell me how many carbs I can have a day but its not like I'm eating one a day, it's a treat to enjoy once and awhile

The only exersize I do is walking... I got a fitbit and that really helps to motivate.and its really doing the job for me.... Good Luck with any moving !!!

I am still pre-op and the thought of 33 lbs in a month makes me wanna do a happy happy dance!! Congrats and keep it up girl!!! I love LaBelle509's attitude!! I have shared my decision with some and have been surprised at one's that I believed would be supportive being out right cruel! I have a super supportive set of parents, daughter and brother..... and of course the best friend by my side.... I am already in love with this site and the encouragement and experience we bring to one another!! Be blessed and keep it up!!
