Melissa,
Hi and Welcome! Your story sound similar to my own. I recently saw some photos of myself at a family gathering and it was disheartening. Oh well, we are doing something about it now and that's good. I'm also a SAHM but I reside in NC. Hope to hear from you and maybe we can encourage each other as we go along. I'm on day 11 of induction. I had the induction flu but once you get past that you really start to feel good so hang in there!
