I am 28 years old living in new hampshire with my soon-to-be husband and our dog. I have a great job working at a magazine, although it doesn't give much chance to move around, I am mostly sitting at a desk all day. In the past 5 years we have settled down and bought a house, I also gained about 35 lbs. We were trying to get pregnant for about 2 years then I was diagnosed with PCOS.

We lead a pretty active lifestyle, hiking with the dog, playing golf in the summer and skiing in the winter - although these are usually weekend activities and not frequent enough to keep my weight down. So, I am also hoping if I change my eating habits and get some exercise in during the week, it will make our weekend excursions all that more pleasurable.

My goal is to lose that 35lbs, get back in shape for our wedding and hopefully by getting healthy also get my PCOS under control so that we can have a baby. And if the baby comes before the wedding, I am perfectly happy with that!

UPDATE: My father passed away on November 15, 2010 - he had a sudden heart attack. My family has a history of heart disease on both sides and my father also had diabetes. All the more reason to get in shape. I have seen too many of my family member die at a young age including my maternal grandfather (55), grandmother (74), and uncle (47) who died of heart attacks and my paternal grandfather (62) who had a heart attack.

UPDATE: Wedding date is set for July 10, 2011 - We are having a destination wedding in Montego Bay Jamaica!
