Hi there!

I noticed that your login indicates you're looking to have kids soon That's awesome! That's a big part of my weight-loss goal too (call me wannabeamommyn09or10, LOL)

I'm not currently TTC, but I've heard that "good-carb" diets like South Beach and Fat Smash (or a healthy WeightWatchers tactic) help women with fertility probs. Often, hormonal issues can be resolved by dietary changes.

Anycrap, good to see you here! I'm fairly new here myself, but this place has been great to me already!

Hi!

Welcome from a fellow newbie. I'm Lauren and I'd like to lose 100lbs. Although I hope to do it in little steps and celebrate at each of them!

I just started as of today September 11...I too am losing weight in hopes of becoming pregnant...I heard even if you lose a 1/3 of your bnody weight it increases the chances of getting pregnant...My husband and I of 3 years have only been trying for a month, but I decided if I wanted something so badly (like I do) I need to get healthy first. My sister and friend both had complicated pregnancies do to Toxemia, which is high blood pressure, and I don't want to go through that...so, here's the low down...Im 24 years old and live in Ohio, Im 6'0 and need to lose about 100lbs. all together. Im a little silly too, just didn't show it in this post because I felt it was too serious and LONG enough already! LOL....I would love to chat with you sometime
