Trying lose weight so we can get pregnant!

itzapril

My husband and I have been married for a little over 2 years now. We are very financially sound and ready to start having babies. I have PCOS and am extremely overweight. Yesterday marks my first day of my journey to lose at least 65lbs. My doctor said that's how much I need to lose to be ready to have a child. I've joined PF and have started counting calories again. I did this a while back and lost around 15lbs (maybe 20 I don't remember). I know if I get involved with the community I will probably keep going on this diet. I saw a picture of myself at Christmas and was not happy. I'm going to make that my background on my computer so I can keep reminding myself what I don't want to look like! I'm planning on eating Oatmeal (lower sugar, I also have type 2 diabetes) for breakfast, healthy choice tv dinners or tuna salad/crackers for lunch and making dinner for my husband and myself using only fresh ingredients. Yesterday I was about 400 calories below my daily limit, probably because I worked out and I also didn't eat as much as normal!

About me? I'm a student getting an Associates in Paramedics. I already have a bachelor degree but its in computer animation. I live in the Midwest, there's not really much of an option for jobs in this field. I'm really excited to do this job, but its another reason I've started the journey to lose weight. I'm not sure I could currently do the physical aspects of the job with the weight I'm carrying around. There seems to be a ton of reasons to lose weight, so that's why I'm here!
