Getting Healthy for babies!

Options
Hi all! I am looking for some friends who have similar goals as mine. I am getting married next June, and while I want to look smokin in my wedding dress, my main motivator is that we want to start a family pretty quickly after the wedding. In order to get pregnant I would like to lose at least 80 lbs. They prove everyday that the more obese you are the more at risk your pregnancy will be. I for one would like to give my future babies the best possible chance to be healthy. Not only that but also being at a healthy weight helps your chances of conceiving in the first place. I am just looking for some friends who are in the same situation and looking for a good motivational, accountability friend. Someone to chat with about preconception health.

    Hi! I know I'm a little late here, but looking to lose 35-40lbs in 2016- the hubs and I will start trying to conceive this year as well! I'm already down a few pounds but want to stay motivated and get as healthy as I can before we do the baby dance. Want to start a group?
