in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm Tasha,
I currently weigh 254 pounds. I would like to lose 100 pounds eventually. I have done it before and lost 7 stone but put most of it back on again. I live with my husband Pete and cat Chubbs. I am a support worker for adults with a learning disability/challenging behaviours.
I have just turned 30 and I am desperate to have a baby but I just don't feel I can try at the moment as I am worried about the effects of my weight for me and the baby.
I am looking for friends for support and mutual encouragement. I am a binge eater mainly through stress and comfort eating!
Can anyone help?!

    Hi Tasha!!!! I'm amy... I've lost 35 of my goal of 89 to go to Disney (and when we come back we'll be TTC). Feel free to friend request me. You can do anything you set your mind to - trust me! Its so much easier with support!!!!!!

    Oh me too! It's sort of reassuring to know I'm not the only one :) I have PCOS and endometriosis, which mean that without losing weight, it's unlikely that I would conceive (and it's funny how every one has a miracle story....). Also PCOS can cause you to carb-load, which makes the PCOS worse, which makes you eat even more carbs..! Really wish I'd thought of this earlier, so well done to you and good luck for your journey! :) xx

    If you would like some moral support just add me as a friend and I'll happily talk you out of comfort eating anytime lol

    Hello! I am in the same boat. I'd like to lose some weight before my husband and I try for an other baby. Welcome to MFP!

    Um, I don't think that is what causes babies... ;)
