Any others out there looking to lose weight for a healthy pregnancy?

Hi my name is Denise and I've been a long time on-again, off-again Calorie Counter.  My weight has gone up and down but I know I had the greatest success using this website. 

I'm 27, I have a nearly 4 year old daughter and am looking to get pregnant sometime before next August.  I wanted to start the pregnancy out on the right foot and lose at least 55 pounds by then.  Anyone else want to join me? 

Yes pls !! I also want to have a baby in the near future, but i think im way too unhealthy to start trying yet, the thought of gaining more weight is so scary !

Would like to lose about 80lbs or so before I try to have a baby, and even then ill still be over weight =/

Add me as a friend if you like =)

Congrats on your weight loss! You've done so good.  I currently weigh 230 pounds and when I lose the 55 pounds I want I'll be 175 pounds which still puts me overweight as well, but the clock is ticking and my littler girl isn't getting any younger!  The age gap is beginning to concern me, but what can you do?  I wasn't ready for a long time afterwards, and then knew it wouldn't be wise to try it again with another pregnancy when I was so unhealthy.  I weighed about 190 with my first pregnancy.  Gained thirty pounds over the 9 months and then lost twenty pounds through nursing.  After I stopped nursing I gained back the 20 pounds plus 10 more over the last couple of years. 

Let's check in with each other each week to report our progress.  Much love!
