Hi there. I am about 70 lbs overweight but would like to start a family. I’m hoping to lose about 40 lbs before we start trying. Has anyone lost a significant amount of weight before getting pregnant and then been able to keep it off?

    My wife has, she has lost weight during every pregnancy (pre-conception to post birth)... You can absolutely do this. Good luck.
