SO glad that I'm not the only one who gained the weight during fertility treatments (20 lbs over 2 years)!!!

I never had to worry about my weight until I started shooting myself up with hormones
After our 2nd failed IVF attempt last year we decided to take a break. I joined WW April of '05 and lost 12 lbs by August 1 '05. That's when we decided to adopt. My focus then turned to the adoption and WW was a distant memory.
I have to say though I put the 12 lbs back on over the winter (really hard to diet during cold New England winters) and have seemed to stay at the same weight since then. I guess you can call this my 'adoption weight gain'

I also have been telling myself that once Jake is home the weight will just fall off as I am running around after him. Maybe it will and maybe it won't. I'll just be happy to have hime home!

So glad though that I'm not alone
