in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,
I have been on and off this site for awhile but have not followed the plan very seriously. I just got married in June and my husband and I would like to start trying for a baby early next year. I would really like to lose a lot of weight and get in shape before getting pregnant. I think this will make for a heatlhier baby. I know it might seem strange to lose a ton of weight to just gain it all back with a baby but I am already overweight and do not want to put on even more weight.

I would love some friends for support, feel free to add me! Thanks!

    I think this is a great idea. And you wouldn't gain it all back when you got pregnant. Just still do good while you are pregnant. My best friend is still using MFP and she's pregnant, you just have to adjust your settings and say you are pregnant. I am totally here to support you.

    I think it makes perfect sense to lose some weight before trying to get pregnant. I just joined MFP in part for the same reason. My husband and will probably try to start having kids within the next 2 years or so and I want to develop some healthy eating habits before then. I also understand that being a healthy weight helps during pregnancy. I, too, support you in your efforts!
