Hi all,

I'm new here! I'm here because my hubby and I are hoping to start our family before long but ... I have a few pounds to lose before we start trying. I'm about 10 - 15 pounds heavier than I'd like to be, I've tried all sorts of diets and exercise regimes to lose it, and will do great for a couple of weeks, and then lose the plot and put it all back on again. I'm hoping that this time, I can build some good habits and stop the yo-you weight loss and gain happening!

    Welcome! I'm the same - trying to lose weight before getting pregnant. The last thing I want is people wondering "is she pregnant... or just fat?"

    I know just what you mean! I'm worried I might have trouble conceiving and with the pregnancy if I don't lose a little bit beforehand too. Good luck with your weight loss!!
