I would love to start some type of buddy group if I'm not the only one!

    you are not the only one! we have been TTC for 3 months now with no luck. we are going to try one more cycle and if nothing than i am determined to lose the 85lbs. if i do happen to get pregnant i am going to try to keep my weight gain on track so that after the baby i can get down to my target weight

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! We have been for 4 years, so I can offer advice if you need it :) I am a "pro".

    Doctor is "making" me lose 100 lbs, 17 down isn't too bad but it seems so far away.

    It will be nice to have a buddy!

    wow 4 years i would be nuts! do you have any other children? we have a son who will be turning two next month. 17lbs is awesome!!! i actaully joined weight watchers in november. i lost 5 lbs in 8 weeks, and have since started going in the other direction. i just cant seem to be able to get myself to stick with the program. :frown:

    Nope this is #1

    I joined a while ago, lost 25 lbs, then was off the plan for 3 months, and am back, hopefully for good this time!

    What do you do for exercise? that is my main problem, i need to find something that i love to do so i will want to do it. TAe bo is my fav but i need something to mix it up a bit. and working 60+ hours a week doesnt leave a lot of time.

    Turbo Jam mostly. I would love to get an elliptical or treadmill, but need to save for it!

    I'm not trying to do that, but I just wanted to let you know that my dad and stepmom tried to have a baby for 10 YEARS and nothing happened. Then once my stepmom and dad started exercising regularly and dropped some weight, *poof*, preggers. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    We've been trying for 1.5years now, no luck at all. Found out that I'm just not ovulating. Dr says loosing weight "might" help. =\

    We're not TTC yet, but we're planning on trying once I get closer to my goal weight - I'd love to lose at least 70 pounds before we start trying. I can't wait! Our first little one is almost a year old now, so we've got our hands full and aren't really in a hurry, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited. :happy:

    Don't look at how far you have to go - celebrate that you've lost! 17 pounds is amazing - before you know it, you'll be at goal and then you'll have a good reason to gain weight. :happy:

    We will start TTC once I loose about 50-70 lbs. I am terrified of being pregnet at the weight I am currently. We are hoping within 1 year we can start trying.

    I'm not TTC right now, but really want to when I have the weight off me. WE both really want to be healthy parents so its important to both of us to get healthy and lose weight before we have kids... gooood luck to all of you with trying! :wink:

    I'm not actively trying but it is one of the main reason I wanted to lose weight. So that in the future it may be easier to conceive.

    Best of luck to you ladies who are trying now :flowerforyou:
