    That is my #2 reason for losing weight, 1st reason was I finally got tired of being fat and tired and 2nd hubby and I have been trying for about 5 years, If I were to get pregnant now I would still be considered high risk because of my weight, however my dr said I am in a much better place than I was back in January. Ideal would be if I lose another 50 lbs, I want to be able to be around for that little one =) Good luck and feel free to add me.

    I am :)

    We were aiming to be pregnant by now, but life got in the way and we now have a few other things to get in line before trying for a baby - my husband is trying to find a new job, and I have recently found out I have lupus, so need to get medically stable before getting pregnant...but I am fed up of being overweight and don't want to add a load of baby weight to that, so if I lose what I want to lose now, hopefully any baby weight I do gain won't make me overweight again and it will come off again more easily. I've got about 12lb to go to get to goal, and then will see how I feel. We will probably not be trying for a good few months yet anyway, so plenty of time.

    It's not my main reason for losing weight but it is a factor in my motivation. I really want to be one of those amazing women who stay fit and healthy throughout their pregnancy. There was a lady at my gym who was in every day up until her 38th week on the cross trainer for about an hour at a time, she looked amazing and from the back you couldn't even tell she was pregnant but with a lovely bump in the front. I really want to be fit and exercising before I get pregnant so I can stay that way for me and my baby to be healthier. Oooh I'm all broody now haha x

    Me! Although we are currenty TTC #2. I only gained 15lbs with my daughter, and would like to do the same this time around too. I would love to be out of the obese range with my BMI before getting pregnant so I don't have to do the glucose test a million times during pregnancy.

    I am, although I've pretty much given up. I am 35. Hubby and I have been trying for nearly 5 years. Doctors have no concrete answers as to why. I don't ovulate and so far, medicines haven't helped. I know it's because of this extra weight. If I can finally get just some of it off, I feel like I could finally get pregnant. Good luck to everyone!


    Don't lose hope! It took my husbands parents 7 years before they had him, and they also had him in their mid 30's. :)

    Exactly! With my first I was 185 lbs at 5'6, and I didn't have any problems with the test or the worry of diabetes, however now at 206 I am worried that I could have it and want to eliminate that possibility.

    I sort of am. My husband and I got married just this past summer and I know that we do not want to start trying for at least another year (this is my choice, if it were up to my husband we would already have babies-he cant wait). However being healthy and setting positive examples for my babies when they do come has always been in the back of my mind. This was one of the many reasons I started this journey.
