Losing weight & TTC

Well I only have 6 more days until test but I am seriously considering putting TTC on hold for awhile and focus on getting in shape. Now I'm a thicky thick girl (186 lbs) so I'm not trying to get skinny. I'm going to do everything naturally no hoodia or anything but question is should I go down to my ideal weight (155lbs) or just lose about 10lbs. Any while continuing to TTC& losing weight, is there anything I should be concerned about?

The only thing to be concerned about is to keep an adequate calorie intake, of no less than 1500 cals/ day and to take prenatle vitamins. As long as you bump up your intake of cals after you find out you're pregnant there shouldn't be a problem. I'm also TTC and loose weight and my doc told me that as long as I was taking prenatles and having an adequate calorie intake everything should be fine  

I agree with her, you should be fine as long as you take prenats, I actually had to fight to gain weight these last 3 months due to gallbladder issues.

lol i thought that i was gonna lose some weight b4 i got pregnant too and as soon as i lost ten pounds i found out i was preggo...losing weight can make you ovulate regularly so be careful if you want to put ttc off!

Yep, every time I loose weight I wind up pregnant like BAM! It's crazy!

Thank you! I started taking my prenatal in January and so far I've seen so good results. My hair has grown about 2 inches and my nails are stronger too. My Boo is always complaining about them LOL. But thanks again, I'm so anxious to know and I am tired of the disappointed every month. I'd rather change my focus and hope for the best. 

Good luck on both the TTC and getting fit/losing weight

I lost weight/dieted before TTC for about a month and a half, did okay - lost 15 lbs- and now that I am pregnant I plan to continue to watch what I eat by consuming 1800 calories a day (not empty calories, and no.. I do not plan to lose any more weight, or try to.. I just don't want to be in the same boat of my other pregnancies in which I gained 45lbs, then 50lbs) ) and following the pregnancy diet in What to Expect When You're Expecting. It shows great ways to get the most nutrition out of the calories I eat.

Good luck to you! That's kinda what I'm doing as well. I can't actively TTC for another few months so *crossing my fingers* I'll be down to my ideal weight of 160 by then!
