I'm doing it for pregnancy. My husband and I decided to wait, but the waiting has been hard for me, so part of what i had been doing to pass the time is research about preganancy and babies, etc. Well, the more I read abut it the more I learned how important it is to be at a healthy weight during pregnancy. The benefits start from the development of the fetus, continue through healhty delivery and end with the weight of your child in adulthood depending on the weight of the mother during pregnancy. Once I realized how far reaching the concequences of my weight are on pregnancy and my future children, that coupled with the strong desire to look cute in maternity clothing
I decided to get serius about it. So here I am six months later and 46 pounds lighter, with still another half a year to go, feeling excited about my progress!
You don't sound silly! I'm sure you had already gone to the doctor, but if not, you should definitely pay him a visit to make sure there isn't anything else going on, but if not, then loosing a few pounds might be good for the cause. I wish you lots of luck in your persuit of a baby.
