Need to lose weight to get pregnant!

Hey, everybody.

So, I found out the other day that I have two cysts on my only remaining ovary and that any day they can twist on themselves causing permanent damage to my ovary. This means that at the age of 23 I risk infertility and early menopause at any moment. Naturally, I am scared to death. My fiance and I have had a few discussions about children but the hypothetical situations were set about 5 or 6 years in the future. Due to the recent developments, this time frame has been pushed up to as soon as I'm healthy.

I weigh about 230lbs and I'm 5'6". I'm at high risk for diabetes and hypertension, among others. Becoming pregnant right now would be a very unwise decision. I'm thinking I need to lose about 85lbs before I would feel comfortable bearing a child.

I need your help. I can't blow this. It's me against my body. I will do my best to post daily updates. Any support and motivation you all can provide us would be greatly appreciated.

    I am past this stage. I will say that I actually lost weight with my last pregnancy eating what I wanted and taking my vitamins. I noticed that another member posted a similar topic. You might want to friend her--Merrs1981. Good luck.
