16 pounds in 5 weeks!!

I initiated a get fit weight loss challenge at my school and over 20 women signed up!! This is our last week and I have lost 16 pounds!! SOOO PROUD OF MEE!! I keep thinking that  I can focus on getting healthy for my baby! I have had my BAD DAYS!! and I have really great days as well.  I have been researching several clinical trials to pay for IVF. They are out there but none I qualify for. Fortunately, I met the most wonderful women that had a IVF clinical trial about 2 hours away. The fee was 5,000 meds and everything included!! It sucks becuase I didn't have the money!! However, she said I will be the first she contacts if they get another one.  I know that sounds doesn't sound convincing but she was so sweet and tried to get me on a payment plan but her boss wouldn't go for it!! I REALLY believe that she is going to call me back and this is how I am going to get IVF. THose of you that live in New York, they have a IVF study going on with everything included!! I pray all of you are doing well.. Makita

Hey! thanks for your message, it really helped when i was feeling pretty low.
when i read your journals, i am always inspired. you are always doing such great things!!!
and i feel you about the cost of IVF. how do people do it?? i dont know what your finances are like, but we shopped around for a zero intrest, for one year, credit card. i know it\'s probably more than most of us can pay off in a year, but for us, the rate that the card went to was still lower than the rate the bank was charging us (12%)
i dont know... something to think about.
anyway, i know your day will come!! and congrats on the 16 lbs!
