A little about me...

My name is Emily, I'm 25 and I've been married to the absolute most wonderful man in the world for over 5 1/2 years now. I'm a Hoosier--born and raised! We have no children of the human variety, but have 2 lovely kitties, Elliot and Tilly (we adopted them May '08).

In August 2006, I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance, Ammenorrhea, and a progesterone deficiency, thus causing my infertility. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 5 1/2 years now with no success at all.

It's a rough battle to lose weight with the over production of Insulin in my body. I was put on the medication Metformin and was able to lose 30lbs fairly quickly. In the summer of 2007, I went off the medication and gained the 30lbs back plus 13 more. Depressing...

With weight loss I can reverse the Insulin Resistance and hopefully my struggles with Infertility. It's a constant and slow battle, but I'm not about to let myself just sit here and do nothing about it. This is my weight loss journey with Insulin Resistance.

Current Medications:
1000mg Metformin
25mcg Levothyroxin

Highest Weight: 298
Current Weight: 282.8 (10/27/09)
GW1: 260 (hopefully by the end of the year!)
GW2: 240 (lowest weight since graduating high school in 2002!)
GW3: 220
GW4: 199 (ONEDERLAND, I haven't been there since at least 7th grade!)
UGW: TBD
