I lost 76 lbs before I got pregnant. We actually haden't decided to try to get pregnant until November. We started in December and by December 10th the job was done! Believe it or not, my hubby and I used no birth control prior to conceiving (we just used the "pull-out method") I guess you can say we were very lucky. I've always heard that people tend to get pregnant quicker after they lose weight. It has proven true for me! The orignial goal was to start trying in March-- I would have been at my goal weight. But hubby just couldn't wait. I was actually around 20 lbs away from goal when I found out. My doc says to limit caloric intake. I am only allowed to gain between 25-35 lbs.. I've got 12 on now! EEK! I'm only 10 weeks!
Good luck to all you girls out there!
