Losing Weight Before Pregnancy

Same boat; ideally 64 pounds to go! I have already dropped nearly 40 over the past six months. It feels like my weight loss is slowing down though to only 5-6.5 pounds loss per month (used to be around 8)! MFP has me at 1,660 calories (5'10", 244 pounds, sedentary office job) and I'm working out at least an hour per day on weekdays and up to five or six on weekends.
Per my calculations, it will probably take another year to reach goal, as my weight loss will likely continue to slow down the closer I get to goal.
It's tough when nearly all of the other young couples at my church have had their first child within the past few months, or are expecting within the next few!0 -
I am also trying to get as fit as possible before we get pregnant! Atleast 20lbs and preferably 42lbs to be in my healthy Weight!! It would really be awesome if we can all motivate & support each other!0

Hello everyone. I'm in the exact same boat as all of you and would like to have some more support. My husband and I have been TTC with no luck so my doctor has told me to begin with losing 20% of my weight and then going from there. I'm not getting any younger so I need to get this going! If you're looking for more support please add me!0

I'm with you! I have a blocked tube and have been on Clomid for 3 months. Dr wants to start FSH injections but he wants me down 30lbs before we start!! I'm down 6.6 in week 1!

I started loosing weight in april 2014 so I can have my second baby. I have lost 46 pounds (21kg) so far, and hoping to try conceive in the next couple of months now.
Good luck!
feel free to add me anyone.0 -
Dh and I are also in the same boat. We have been unofficially trying for 3 years and officially started trying on the 31 of October. We have to meet with a specialist as I have pcos however it is the needing to lose weight that I am struggling with. I have a lot to lose. My doctor hadn't put a percentage on what he would like me to lose but just to lose weight. So I'm glad to find other ladies who understand.0

Have been trying for 8 cycles with one early loss. I am usually at very top end of "overweight" in my bmi and after the holidays my weight gain has pushed me into the "obese" bmi (not a fun word to associate myself with but a good realization to spring me into action). Hoping to steadily lose weight until I get pregnant...maybe 20 pounds (obviously my goals for healthy living/eating will continue when pregnant, I just will be less worried about the 'number' as some weight gain in pregnancy is expected. Anyway, would love to follow and encourage you ladies in the coming months.0

I'm on the same boat. I could use the motivation and support and would enjoy taking this journey with you all!0

This is my main reason for getting healthy in the upcoming year. I want to be as healthy as possible so any children I have can have a healthy start. Right now that means losing 70-100 pounds.0

I'm also trying to lose weight and become healthy for the same reason. I have 91 more pounds to lose. Anyone can add me if you would like.0

We are wanting to start trying in May 2015 I would really like to lose 20lbs before then!0

Trying to loose weigh for the same reason! We want to get preg at the end of this year. My goal is to loose another 80#, but I don't think that will happen in a year, but I sure will try my hardest. Feel free to add me!0

Did anyone reach their goal? I would love to see some success stories!0

Yeah if anyone is still around it would be great to hear if you lost the weight in time or if you reached your goal and are still TTC or are even pregnant now0
