Losing weight before TTC

thursdayswoman

Is anyone here trying to lose weight before trying to conceive? My wife and I would like to have baby, but we're both overweight, and I would like to at least try to be down to the top of the 'normal' BMI range before trying. That's about 92 pounds from my current weight. I don't want to do anything drastic - it wouldn't be sustainable - but when I think about how long it will take to lose that much weight, I get really depressed. Having to wait that long is horrible. Advice? Thoughts?

There is a group on here called planning for pregnancy. We are all trying to lose weight before TTC or while TTC prior to getting pregnant. You should take a look and introduce yourself in the discussion. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/111647-planning-for-pregnancy

I will send you a friend request.
