    We are not actively TTC, but we probably will be within the next year with #4. I hit over te 200 lb mark with my 3 boys and I would love to get things under control and not gain so much weight. You would think that I wouldn't gain that much running after 3 boys, but you certainly can. I am focusing on getting my body in shape (Disney Vacation in Oct 2012 w/ a 8 yo, 6 yo, & 1 yo) and eat healthier. I would love to follow all you ladies on your journey. I am difinately going to check out the group.

    I HAVE CREATED A NEW GROUP!!!!

    It's mainly for those of you trying to conceive AND trying to lose weight at the SAME time. Not neccessarily for those of you trying to lose weight to get pregnant in the FUTURE. But you're welcome to join anyways.

    Copy and paste the link, if that doesn't work, search under groups for "Losing Weight & TTC Together".

    No more babies here but i just wanted to wish you all luck!! We were TTC for 17 cycles and i know my weight was contributing to the problem of hormonal imbalance (progesterone defect). I finally did get pregnant on the 17th cycle with clomid and progesterone suppositories for 16 weeks. And when she was 7 months old. SURPRISE! Her brother was on his way LOL. Funny how life works. Best of luck to you all!

    Hi! I am a working momof a 2 year old little girl. We are thinking of trying to conceive baby #2 soon ~ my husband is ready, but I have been hestitant as I had wanted to lose another 25 - 30 pounds. I have struggled this last year, and after losing 22 pounds I managed to gain back half :grumble: At this point I plan to continue with my healthier eating habits and exercise routine, and if I reach my goal that's great, ~ in the end, at least I will be on a better path and hopefully have my weight gain & nutrition in control for a healthy pregnancy for baby and me. Good luck to all on this exciting journey! :happy:

So we started eating healthy and exercising, cycles started back up and they are like clockwork. Im currently 188 and have another 20 pounds to go and we will officially start ttc. We are so excited!! :)

    I have tried the HCG diet and have only lost 5 lbs
    Salad and veggies make me lose wgt but sticking to just that is the hard part
    My parents are 232 and 190
    MY husband is at 218 and I'm at 217
    profile pic I was at 145 in 2008, wedding pic I was at 180 in 2010, other 2 pics are recent
    short term goal - feb 20, 2014 - 199
    long term goal - feb 20, 2015 (my 5 yr anniversary) - way below 180 w/o mirena and ttc for our 1st baby!
