Getting Baby-Ready and Healthy

Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Megan and I am 24 years old. I am working on getting healthy before my husband and I start trying for kids this summer. I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and have been feeling the effects of that lately due to my weight, so it is definitely time to make a change! I went on Nutrisystem (and loved it) back in November 2011 to March 2012 and lost 26 pounds. I felt so proud and good, but after I wed in July, that weight came back to haunt me!
I need some really good motivation to stay on track. Please add me as a friend, and we can help each other reach our goal!

I had lost 40 pounds when SURPRISE! I found out I was pregnant! It wasn't planned, but we were very excited. Unfortunately, I lost the pregnancy (after putting back on 25 pounds, then another 10 due to the depression). We have been trying for 8 months now.
Feel free to add me.
ETA: I'm 27, married for 2 and a half years.0 -

Hi!
I am 25. I have an almost 4 yr old. I weighed 290ish when pregnant with her. I have lost 112lbs in the 18 months I've been on here but I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. I have maintained my weight so far through the pregnancy. I'm about 185 now.

I'm doing the same thing - I'm 32, and have a 10 year old. I never thought I would WANT another baby after a divorce and miscarriage, but I have hearts in my eyes and my boyfriend doesn't have any children. We aren't trying yet (we will when we get married!).0

Awesome goal! My husband and I also strived to get healthy before our first baby. It was a challenge sometimes but the results were fantastic! I was able to maintain a great workout routine throughout pregnancy, too.
Unfortunately, I suffered from PPD and ended up gaining back weight I had lost so many years before. It was super frustrating. Recently, we have been thinking about adding to our family, so, I'm back on track for becoming the healthiest I can be.
Feel free to add me as a friend. I just wanted to comment and let you know that getting in shape before baby was the best thing I could have done.0 -
Hi everyone! I'm Kayla and I'm trying to get baby ready also. My goal is to lose about 30lbs and create the healthy lifestyle choices that I can carry on after we try for babies (One more year when I turn 25)
Feel free to add me!0 -
I am getting married in July and we plan to try right away, however I want to be at a healthier weight before we start doing that. Although 25-30 lbs would be acceptable, I'm really striving for closer to 50 lbs before I get pregnant. Add me if anyone else is looking for some support!! I think it's great that so many other women are trying to get healthy before baby #loveit0

I am also trying to lose weight so I can conceive...have been TTC for 18 mo+...add me if you'd like!0

My doctor told me that being overweight can make it harder to get pregnant so I've been working to clean up my act My husband and I will start trying this summer too.
Good luck and feel free to add me too.0
