Anyone losing weight to try for a baby?

I'm actually trying for my first and want to lose weight as it hasn't happened yet.

Just some encouragement to you ladies on this journey from someone who has been there. I have 4 children earth side (and two angel babies). After my 3rd baby (all three pregnancies I had GDM) my Dr told me I was well on my way to becoming diabetic. I was only .2 points away from being full blown type 2 diabetic. I completely understood the ramifications of poorly managed diabetes because my sister has been a type 1 since she was 12 years old. So I buckled down and ate a low carb, protein and fat rich diet. I knew I needed to get this under control, not only for myself, but for my husband and children and my future children...because, I wasn't done growing my family! After 3 months of eating right I lost 30lbs and my A1c went from a razors edge away from being diabetic, down to below the average healthy person. After 8 months of dedication to my health I lost 60lbs. The next year ( more like 6 or 7 months later) I got pregnant. I did end up with GDM but not until the third trimester, and only diet controlled. You see, my first 3 were GDM from the beginning and insulin dependant all the way through. My biggest happy dance moment came when, just before my csection, the nurse weighed me and I weighed the same at the END of my pregnancy as I did when I GOT pregnant with my third! My health during and after that pregnancy was so much better than the other 3 combined! It was difficult, and sometimes I questioned why I was even doing it...but I looked at my babies and realized, they were reason enough! I'm not back to pre baby weight yet, but I have a renewed vigor after I got a good post pregnancy report from my doctor. It won't be easy, but it IS worth it!!

We want to start trying to conceive in Jan but from ttc before I know I don't ovulate when I'm this heavy my cycles end up all out of wack...... they start regulating after I lose about 20 pounds..... so Id like to lose at least 20 pounds by the end of Jan ...... I weigh about 260 at the moment

Yes! I’m getting my IUD removed in 2 weeks, soz I’m pretty confident that #2 won’t be far along. I NEED to start working on my weight for a healthier pregnancy. My first wasn’t terrible, but I had quite a bit of health issues that could have been related to my weight. Next time around, I want to to do better for myself, baby, and my family. Let’s do this!

I have type 2 diabetes. Husband and I are trying to have our first baby. Doctor told us that I have to lose about 60- 70 lbs. I have always been up and down with my weight. sometimes it is a struggle wanting to have a baby and trying to lose weight. I feel like family and friends do not understand my situation and my motivation. So I do not get much support from my family and friends. I just need to know if anyone else is going through the same situation and that I am not alone.

Actively trying, but also trying to lose weight. I’m trying to establish healthy eating habits before
