3So today my husband told me if I drop 113lbs then he will feel I'm healthy enough TTC. GAH any tips or help suggestions? Thinking of doing WW again and dancing/ walking more. Maybe joining gym but so much Mullah! Oh I dont know what to do all tips will be awesome ALSO if anyone is at about the same point as me PLEASE be my buddy! I need to get really serious about this! =)

Rebecca85 I am in the same boat as you. My husband doesn't really want to "try" to get pregnant with me at my current weight so I feel like I am on a double mission to loose this weight. I need to drop about 100 pounds to be at a healthy weight to get pregnant. Sigh! let's do this!

Bumping for updates...how is everyone?

Hey Ladies...

Have been away for a bit. I got pregnant and then had an early miscarriage. Haven't really been doing anything weight wise. I'm now going to quit moping and do something about me! I'm giving myself 3 months time to lose the weight before we start trying again, and I need all the support and motivation I can get! Thanks

GetFitFast, I'm so sorry. I really understand what you're going through, and I know how tough it is. I admire your motivation to focus on "doing" while waiting to try to conceive again - I know you will reach your goals.



I've also been away from this thread for a bit. I found out in early June that I was pregnant, but shortly after seemed to be miscarrying and had a D&C. A week later I began having severe abdominal pain on one side, and it took a few ER visits and a hospital stay (and a tremendous amount of pain) before anyone realized I had an ectopic pregnancy. A routine laparoscopic procedure should have taken care of things, but there were complications during the surgery and I ended up with a full laparotomy. After the surgery my OB/GYN told me that I have severe endometriosis, which is the reason I had been unable to get pregnant for so long, and was the cause of the ectopic pregnancy and all the pain I was having. He also told us that the chance of another ectopic is too high for us to try to conceive naturally, and IVF will be our only option for a pregnancy.

I have been very, very sad, as well as angry and frustrated. I am now almost 4 weeks post-surgery, and I am still working on healing and recovery. I have been unable to exercise for the past 6 weeks, but I am focusing on keeping my food intake in check so that I can still lose some weight. I am trying to stay positive and think forward; we should be able to start the IVF in 4 months or so, and hopefully that will work for us.

Thanks, chickadee32! I got my butt back to the gym this week, and I feel wonderful!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss and all the trouble you have been going through. The first thing they checked in my case was if it was an ectopic pregnancy. Did they miss it the first time around? You will be in my prayers and I hope you have a safe recovery so as to reach your goal and have a beautiful baby.

God I'm am so sorry for your both. I just wish I could hug you! Please keep us posted.

I'm doing well, school is starting back and I've been going to the gym often.
