in Getting Started
Hey everyone, I am starting my weight loss journey so the hubs and I can start our family. I am hoping to lose 20+ pounds by the end of the year. Feel free to add me so we can all keep each other accountable!

    Welcome. It's funny that you want to lose 20lbs to gain 20lbs. hehe. Kidding. Being in better shape will help with your pregnancy. My first one I wasn't too fat and it wasn't bad. I was obese with my 2nd and it was much more difficult. Good luck.

    :) I definitely want to lose more than 20, but that is my mini goal. I definitely know it's much harder having a baby while overweight because my cousin was during her pregnancy. I watched her struggle, and she ended up with gestational diabetes.

    Hi, I'm hoping it is down to my weight why I struggling to get pregnant. Been trying for 4 yrs, unblocked tube and medication haven't worked so far so hopefully loosing weight & being confident again will help. Fingers crossed

    Hi Ladies!!! I'm in the same boat. I lost 30 pounds before my wedding, only to gain it all back. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for a year and a half and just started working with a reproductive endocrinologist. I'm sure part of the problem is my weight. So since I can't control getting pregnant, at least I can control my own health. Good luck!!!!

    I met with my doctor 2 weeks ago. She advised I lose about 15-20lbs before I start trying for a baby. I've another year in college so I'm using this time to study, eat right and get fit. Hopefully then come spring...

    I too am on my weight loss journey to try to conceive. It is easier to be pregnant when you weigh less. Feel free to add me as a friend. We can help each other out along this journey.

    I'm not ready to have kids yet(still in nursing school) but it is one of the top reasons I am trying to lose weight as well! so when the time comes and I'm ready to start trying, I'll be healthy.

    I lost about 40 pounds before we started trying for a baby in August 2014. It's been a rough year due to multiple issues including 2 miscarriages along the way, so I've struggled to lose more since then (definitely an emotional/stress eater here). I could use some extra accountability while I try to put the focus on me for a bit. We're not going to start any fertility treatments until 2016, so I'm hoping to lose a few more pounds by then or hopefully get pregnant naturally! I'll add you. :smile:

    Yay we can do it ladies! I have been tracking for 5 days now, which is pretty much unheard of for me, and I lost 2lbs. I am feeling good. I just keep thinking about the baby, and that keeps me going when I want to eat bad.
