    Good luck! I don't have as much to lose as you but I wasn't losing any weight at all before and I thought I was "being good" and I WAS getting exercise almost every day. There's lots of support on this site. I think you can, I think you can...I know you can!

    Welcome to MFP! I think you will find a lot of support here and many of us on the same journey that you are.
    It isn't so much about willpower as it is about making good decisions and healthy choices one at a time.
    Good Luck and once again, Welcome!

    I understand what you are going through. I am the same way! I really need to lose weight and am not doing so great! I am 23 though and really want to have a child. I have aprox 200lbs to lose before anyone will help me! Do your best!!

    Remember when ever you want to say "I don't want to, or I don't want to eat that." Just toughen up and say "To bad I want a Baby"

    Thats what I am doing!

    My best advice is don't diet anymore, change your lifestyle :) I have more than a 100 pounds to lose, and it gets easier everyday to make the right choices. Good luck!

    You can do it!! You just have to really want it and it sure sounds like you do.
    I too have much to loose. Started seeing a nutritionist, really helped making a lifestyle change. Most importantly is to plan out your meals and snacks and write EVERYTHING down on this webste. Even if you cheat. For example, my husband loves ice ream and will stop and get a cone from sonic:grumble: :grumble: Since I can't have one our deal is I always get the first couple of licks. That way, it makes me feel like I got a treat too and I record the licks, as 20 calories for 1/10 of the cone.

    More words of advice. Max out on the fiber for awhile, lot sof veggies, fruits, and put benefiber on everything.

    Finally, every night before you go to sleep sit quietly and just envision what it will be like to have those 100 lbs gone. Visiualize how great you will look pregnant, how healthy your baby will be, how smooth your delivery wil be. In the words of Dr. Wayne Dryer, If you can see it you can believe it!

    I'm new here too but I have the same problem you do. I've been told by numerous doctors that if I lose weight, it will be easier to get pregnant. I'm 33 years old and like you have about 100 pounds to lose. I wish you the best of luck. I've only been here for about a week and already I love the support. You can do it!!!!:happy:

    Losing weight is hard even if your tryig to lose 5 pounds. You just have to work hard everyday and if your body is sore that just meaning you are working hard. Chanange your body every day. Good Luck

    I'm trying to lose weight to be able to have a baby as well. I started out with 107lbs to lose and now I'm down to 75. It still sounds like a lot but I KNOW I CAN DO IT and you can too. Hang in there. Take it day by day. Good luck on your journey.
