Losing the weight before a pregnancy!

I'm also trying to lose weight before pregnancy!

I am in the same boat, but for my first pregnancy! My husband and I will have been married for 2 years in April, together for 6 in June. We're looking at May to start trying. I won't be at my ideal weight, but I don't know if I want to wait any longer than that to start trying because we're anxious already! I had lost 60 pounds before the wedding and was feeling great! I wish I had maintained back then, but it slowly crept back on. So here I am again, hoping to lose 40 (maybe 50 if I'm realllllllly good) pounds by May so we can start trying. I plan to keep loosing until the stick reads positive! I'd love some friends on here who are loosing weight to get pregnant.

I'm right there with you! My husband and I have been married for a year and a half. Although we don't plan on TTC until sometime around Summer 2014, reaching (and MAINTAINING) my goal weight is at the top of the list of things I want to accomplish before that time comes.

I think it's great that you're all trying to lose weight before having a baby. Just don't let it stop you from starting a family because you never know what could come up. I was 203 lbs when I found out I was pregnant. Luckily I only gained 26 lbs during my pregnancy and I had lost all the baby weight by my 6 week appointment. It just came off naturally. Being a stay at home mom made me blow up though. I just wasn't getting as much movement as I was used to. When my son turned a year old I was up to 217.6 lbs and that's when I finally decided something had to change. I'm down to about 184 now and I'm really happy again. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the motivation for me to actually start dropping some weight came from being with my son and playing with him and just noticing how much all that weight affected me. Good luck ladies!

Hello, My name is Claudia and Im triying to loose some weight for the same reason, Im triyin to get pregnant of my first baby. Sorry if my write is not great but Im from Guatemala and here we speek spanish

Hi everyone! My hubby and I are going on 9 yrs being married and found out last year that we would have to do ivf. My doctor told me I needed to lose 10% before we start. Our plan was jan 2013, so it's crunch time for me too. I kept putting it off, but I'm finally ready to get serious about my health.

I don't know if everyone knows but there is a ttc group on here that's pretty great. Anyway good luck to everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

I am glad I am not the only one trying to lose weight before getting pregnant. I have 20 lbs to lose before starting anything that's my goal. We can do it ladies

It is a wonderful idea to loose weight before conceiving a baby. Not only will it help with conception since extra weight can throw off a woman's cycle, but it also will ensure a healthy pregnancy.

The idea of having a baby with my husband, our first baby, is my primary motivation to loose weight. I have lost sixty pounds so far and hope to loose another twenty before we start trying. However, I'm starting to feel antsy about having a baby. I'm going to give myself until the new year and then hope that, even if I'm not at goal, that I've lost enough weight to help me. I also plan to continue dieting until I conceive.

The way I see it, so many women don't even worry about their weights before conceiving, that we are putting ourselves in good places even if we conceive before reaching ideal. For example, even just loosing sixty pounds puts me in a better place than if I hadn't lost it.

Good luck, everyone! I hope we all achieve our goals with weight and family.

I was over weight when I got pregnant and lost weight during the pregnancy. I ate so well...Healthy kids too.

I have never wanted to lose weight so bad in my life. September 2012, My husband and I miscarried our first child at 5 months Pregnant. We had a very complecated pregnancy due to my health. Now, its only been a few months and my husband's ready to start a family again. But my main focus for the past few weeks has been losing 40 pounds and being healthy. Feel free to Add me, I could use some support.

I had lost nearly 10 lbs (23 was my total goal) when I got in to an accident that totaled my car in September. I have worked out twice since then and my diet is complete crap now. The husband and I have decided we are ready to try for a second baby, but I am so super worried about gaining weight during a pregnancy on top of what I've gained back. I am currently getting back in to the groove, as we have not succeeded in pregnancy just yet. Hopefully I can start feeling better about myself and maybe it will help our chances if I am healthier

I already have 3 children but me and my partner who is not the father to my other children, want to try for a baby in 2014 im 292lbs at the mo so have over a year to loose as much as I can.

I realy am into this so much and want to loose the weight very badly as with my other children I have always been around 280lbs so never small and I want my last pregnancy to be as easy and as healthy as I can have it. We are also planning on geting married so the smaller I can be for that the better lmao.

So feel free to add me

Congrats! The human body is so tricky and amazing. You look great!
