    We've been TTC for a year now. In the mean time I'm trying to get in the best shape possible.

    I also wanted to acknowledge the women who have had trouble conceiving a healthy baby - lots of sticky baby dust for you!!!

    And, thank you, mamas-to-be (and mamas-to-be-again), for being so selfless and taking care of your bodies. :flowerforyou:

    In the same boat over here...miscarried at 6 weeks in March of 2013. Not due to weight, but it definitely inspired me to get as healthy as possible before i get pregnant again. I have PCOS and newly diagnosed hypothyroid.

    I'm kinda sorta trying. I know being overweight can affect fertility in some people. I was heavier than I am now when I got pregnant with my 5 year old. That pregnancy was beautiful and perfect and normal. No diabetes, no preeclampsia, no problems at all. But this time around, I don't know why I'm having issues getting pregnant. I could be having issues that are beyond my control. But losing weight would eliminate one of those possible issues, so it certainly can't hurt to try.

    We have been trying since January, but it seems that nursing is keeping #3 at bay ... of course, I want to have as healthy a pregnancy as possible and I definitely need to lose weight in order to accomplish that.

    Yes, most definitely. My husband and I are TTC and at this point my weight is one of the biggest unsuccessful factors. My doctor has asked that I try to get down to 250lbs before looking at other causes of infertility and options :-)

    I'm in! Want to get a solid exercise route in place before getting pregnant

    I'd be interested to see if any guys join this link - my hubs is keen to loose weight before baby too so we can do all the fun running about style things all kids deserve :)
