in Challenges
This challenge is for any women or men who are experiencing difficulty getting pregnant due to extra weight. I am currently trying to conceive my 2nd and im on my 5th month trying to conceive. I have no other issues besides the extra weight so i would love to work with other couples and post diet/exercise/etc so we can motivate each other as well as support each other on this journey .....comment if you are in!!

    I am TTC #2 as well and have over 100lbs to lose. I gained 57lbs with my first pregnancy 2 years ago, I have about 15 more lbs to lose the 57 I gained. I am already in quite a few challenges including one I started (game of thrones challenge starts today) but anyone can feel free to add me as a friend for support :smile:

    We're planning on TTC in May. I'd like to lose at least 30lbs by then. We got pregnant with IUI with my first. I'm hoping losing some weight will help with TTC this time. Currently 252. I was 255 when I got pregnant with my first.

    I’ll join! I’ve been TTC for 19 months now and into some fertility tests for the next month or so. I’m sure weight loss can only help since I’m much heavier than my ideal weight should be. I think this will be a great group for support.
    Thx!

    Bunting those are amazing results! I’ll try to stick harder to low carb - 21 day fix style. For exercise I’m varied and need to be more consistent so I’ve started Couch to 10km running plan, again.
