Checking in after so long

Hi everyone, Long time no post.... Here's whats going on with me; Two weeks ago I weighed in at 277, which means I have 10 more pounds to go to loose the 20 pounds I put back on in September - January. I am still taking Alli, and it is working to help me get down. In addition to using Alli, I am also using hteir website, which is now free to people who buy Alli. you dont need to keep buying Alli to get the free website like you had to before. The website lets me track my weight, I have weigh in's once week, and the best part is that I have started using the meal planner. This thing is so cool, it lets you pick all your meals for the week, and then prints out a grocery shopping list for you. I keeps me organized, and makes dinners fun cause they are different every night. I started going for walks after dinner with my hubby, and that is really nice because we talk while we walk and sometimes we stop to play on the swings. We have been trying to get pregnant since December, and are still trying. I am strssed out about that. I also got my labs back about 2 weeks ago, and my insulin went back up. I am now back on the grain free plan, as my doctor and I both agree that I am grain sensative. and if I want to loose any weight, I need to back off the grains.  I also belive that my insulin problem is reltaed to my inability to get pregnant. I have read so much about this whole thing, and what I found was that if your insulin is not regulated, your hormones are out of wack, and you won't get pregnant as easily as someone who didn't have an insulin problem. The only thin that keeps my insulin down is when I take grains out of the equation, so I am doing that again, in hopes that it will help us get pregnant. As for my thyroid, the higher dose my doctor prescribed was suppressing my thyroid, so I am now off of that dose, and going back to the decreased dosage. I am feeling a bit overwhealmed by all of this, especially the inability to get pregnant, so I haven't felt like posting, but I thought I would try to get back in the swing.... HERE I GO !!! I hope everyone is doing super !!!! Benda, Christa, Janina, how are you guys !!!
