Any women trying to lose weight before having a baby?

Hi,
I'm a 30 year old woman aiming to lose 45 pounds before trying to start a family. 've been working out my entire life and actually enjoy exercise and eat a pretty healthy diet. The real weight loss saboteur for me is my job (as an event planner- catered everything) and social life. (We tend to go out to bars and restaurants a lot)
I've been on MFP for a while but would love to find some friends looking to lose weight for the same main reason.
Feel free to add me!

    I already have 2 children and during both pregnancies I developed diabetes and my children were born with sugar problems. I think this was mostly caused by being overweight and eating the wrong foods while I was pregnant. My husband and I have discussed having another child but I told him I would not consider it until I dropped 100 pounds. So, here I am. I am trying my best to stay positive and do the right thing so we can try and conceive this time next year. Good luck to you!
