Why I did paleo...

I started paleo to try to beat my infertility and continue to do today. I have lost 27 pounds doing this lifestyle. Unfortunately this process takes longer than expected. TTC and infertility is a bitch and a disease that is hidden and not talked about enough. A lot of us live alone in silence. If you would like to be part of a new site that raises awareness, then please check the site out and then share your story with me and I'll post it for others to read! The more we share, the more we help each other. We are not alone! http://www.theinfertilemertile.com/
