    So awesome to see so many people in the same boat as me! I'm 24 and have been married for a year and a half. My husband and I aren't really TTC but we aren't trying NOT to either. :)
    My number one goal is not a number on the scale but just to be happy and healthy for my future kids and to be able to set a good example for them regarding eating habits, exercise and self-esteem.

    Everyone feel free to add me! :)

    Same here! Not TTC not not TTC :P I do have fears that I will lose all this weight and THEN get pregnant and gain it all back. :P Anyone is always free to add me

    Losing 20-30 lbs of weight gave me two boys in less than 2 years after trying for more than 7 years!.

    Funny thing is when I get around 185-190 lbs, I end up pregnant! I am so hoping that doesn't happen this time as I would like to "enjoy it" for a while this time instead of getting big and pregnant again!

    Good Luck Mommies-2-be! :flowerforyou:

    I've been trying to get healthy for years now....I'm losing inches, and my clothes are getting smaller...but for some reason I can't drop the weight! Frustrating, but I'm trying to look at the bigger picture. We have an almost 2 year old, and just starting TTC for #2 last week. Feel free to add me!

    Good luck! :)

    Hi ladies! I'm 35 and have a 3 year old and a 1 year old (who will be 4 and 2 in June and May respectively). I'm thinking of TTC a 3rd when my daughter turns 2.

    I put on a lot of weight in her pregnancy, and I've lost all of it and more, but my BMI is still 26. While I know BMI is a load of crap, I still want it under 25! I'm hoping that when/if I do decide to have another baby, I'll be so used to logging on MFP that I will continue to do so and minimise weight gain.

    I'm in the same boat! I want to start trying this summer and I know that the extra weight will not help. I won't be able to get to my "ideal" weight by then, but any extra weight off will definitly help! I'm going to be 31 so I have alot of motivation to get some babies here sooner than later! :) Please feel free to add me!

    feel free to add me too... I am 27, been ttc for about 18 months now. I'm not hugely obese - am 5 7 and 168.... but am carrying on my weight loss journey to see if that could be the answer, as I don't want to start with IUI yet...

    good luck people, you can do it

    Hi,
    I'm not married yet but just recently started a great relationship with a wonderful guy, and I am trying to lose weight to prepare for my future (hopefully- marriage and children) with him.

    I'm aiming to reach 140 by July, but we'll see. Feel free to message me whenever you're in a rut. I've been there.
