Anyone trying to lose weight before TTC?

[cdejdemommy]

So, lately I've realized that I've gotten pretty sluggish. The fact that I've gained 30 pounds since AFTER my last baby was born - not helping.

I'm not gonna be shy - I weigh in at 151 pounds when my normal weight generally fluctuates between 120-125. After I had my last baby (Daniel) I lost all of my baby weight (38 pounds) within a matter of a few weeks. I looked great! But now... almost 2 years later, I'm almost back up to my pre-LABOR weight!! I got up to 158 pounds when I was 9 months pregnant with Daniel and the way things are gong - I'm heading right back there - only I'M NOT PREGNANT WITH AN 8 POUND 7 OUNCE BABY!!!

My question is, if you ARE trying to lose weight before TTC, what methods are you using? Diets? What type of exercises? Meal plans?? I need help!

I did some googling the other day and found this really wonderful website called www.fitday.com and it is AWESOME! They have all types of things to help you chart your weight loss including food journals, activity journals, tells you how many calories you need to eat, how many pounds you need to lose each week to get to your goal date weight... I strongly encourage anyone who is serious about losing weight to use this website... oh and it's free is the best part!

ANYWAY... so, who is TTLW befor TTC? I need to know that I am no alone in this! LOL

I want to lose about 50-70 pounds before I start to TTC. I haven't really started doing anything to lose weight yet. Starting next week I plan on setting some ground rules (like no soda) and seeing where that gets me. I also plan on borrowing my sister-in-laws Wii Fit or spending some time at her house each day to use it.
