Losing weight to become pregnant this summer?

Phoenyxlove

I was wondering if there is anyone out there trying to lose weight before trying to conceive this summer? I'm hoping to start trying for number 2 around July. I really wanted to lose a good 50-60 pounds but I went of vacation in February and gained a good 10 so I won't be able to shed as much as I would have hoped for. But I am looking forward and and going to work my very hardest to get off about 40 pounds. I will be very happy with that! Feel free to add me if you are looking for support!

We have had good and bad months of TTC but haven't had any luck with baby #2. In January, a switch finally flipped in my brain and I've finally stopped obsessing about it. Instead I'm focusing on losing my extra pregnancy weight from Abgiail (turned 2 in Dec). I took up Zumba early 2010 and had lots 'mommy guilt' issues putting my daughter in the nursery; I quit after 2mo because the place was 15mi from my house and not ideal childcare. When I quit, I never picked up anything else. Like I said, there has been a switch flipped. I do not have the same mindset as I did on pregnancy, fitness, eating habits - all for the better. I'm really hoping my ugly c-section muffin top can be remedied. I had a bad emergency operation experience and would love to be healthy enough to attempt a VBAC for Baby #2. I'd also like to have a much healthier pregnancy where I don't gain 50+lbs!
