Smile Anyone trying to lose before getting pregnant?

Okay, odd question!! I just would like to lose another 20 or so pounds before DH and I have a baby. I was wondering if anyone else was in the same situation.

I feel like it is an added motivator. I went from 125 when my husband and I met to 225 the day our son was born. Getting pregnant again, and gaining so much weight is a little scary. I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who feels the same.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

You are lucky for only needing to lose 20 lbs. I would like to get down to 160-170 before trying to have a baby. Hopefully, I can do that before the end of the year. I'm 37, so I need to get started on a baby real soon. I hear the clock ticking!!

We can certainly keep in touch to check on ones progress.

Oops...maybe that was misleading. Ideally I want to lose 50-60 pounds. I just can't wait that long!! It just won't do . Our son is almost 6 and putting on the pressure. I hope that if I at least lose 20, and then switch to Sommersizing during pregnancy, well, hoping I can keep from gaining another 100!!!

I will immediately return to Atkins at that time!!
