Hello everyone! My name is Tierra, I am 23 years old and I have been married for 5 years! My husband and I have been Trying to concieve for the same amount of time.I thought it would be easy for me to get pregnant at my weight, because I saw a lot of women heavier than me getting pregnant, boy was I wrong. This year 2012 I have decided to do EVERYTHING I can before seeking medical treatment. I recently have been feeling that I must not want to be a mother that bad if I am not trying to control my weight. I want to have a healthy pregnancy! After I got married I gained 50 pounds, So that is my first goal, to get down to 200 pounds! I really need the support and motivation! For the past month I have been doing amazing, but I would like to meet more people who have the same goals as me!! I also make YT videos to document my weight loss! If you are interested in seeing those please let me know! Oh I am 5'1 and I weigh about 248!

    I cant say we have the same goals but I can relate to wanting a healthy pregnancy. I was alittle over weight when pregnant with my oldest and due to my diet, had to deal with gestational diabetes. Then with my youngest I was even more over weight and due to that, the last few months were hell....worth it, but hell. After I had my children I realized I could not continue and lost a good 100lbs. I have since gained about 40lbs back but working on that now...its rough but worth it...you're doing a good thing!!!
