Hi, Trying to lose about 20 pounds before TTC and looking for others in the same boat. Have had some health issues but mainly just dealing with a habit of stress/emotional eating and drinking. So trying to find good stress management techniques that aren’t take out or wine! My weight tends to swing around a lot because of these bad habits.

    Have you tried yoga, Tai chi or qi gong? The combination of exercise and focus on breathing can really help with stress.

    I am trying to lose weight for the same reason. I have PCOS and had one miscarriage at 15 weeks. Finally I feel strong enough to try again but before my pregnancy I was 76kg now I’m 96kg, I have to lose 10kg before I can start Clomid. I am on day 2 so far of eating healthy e.t.c.
    Good luck everyone ! :)
    My husband downloaded this app for me (he’s really trying to help)
