Weight loss before baby

I have been lurking for a bit and I thought I would ask this of you all, did any of you intentionally lose weight before TTC? According to my GYN and I agree I should lose 20lbs.

 I am off the pill this month and we want to TTC (for our first baby) starting in August. I started my weight loss program and lost 4lbs. this week.  So I am off to a good start.

 Did your weight loss help you TTC? 

Thanks!

    I am actually doing the opposite.

    I have Grave's Disease [hyperthyroid], and I am trying to gain weight. ?5-10 lbs to be exact.

    Either way, it is hard.

    Actually, I am reading The Fertility Diet, and I really like it. ?You may find it interesting. ?It talks about overall health then specifically TTC health.?

    Seeing that you only want to lose 20lbs I would say that as long as you are in good health it shouldn't really be an issue. Even for some obese women TTC is not a problem when they are in good health, eat right and excersise.

    For me I would like to lose 30lbs before getting KU but its more just for my personal goal. Anything you can lose will help out when your carrying around extra baby weight.

    I lost a lot of weight prior to conceiving DD, over 100 lbs.  I have PCOS as well and weight loss can sometime help with ovulation, but it didn't for me.  I used Clomid.

    I tried to eat healthier and get more exercise while TTC (not necessarily to lose weight but to feel healthier) but I don't know if it really helped (still took over a year to conceive a "sticky" baby and I was 10 pounds heavier than when I started TTC).

    Great job with the weight loss so far and good luck in the future!

    I lost 25 before I got preg w/ #2, but I had no issues w/ #1 (TTC or pregnancy wise). I did WW and it was awesome.

    I'm trying. ?I lost 3 pounds last week and I'd love to lose about 15 total. ?My Gyn said I don't NEED to lose weight but he was very sweet and said, I"m too young and pretty to be worried about it so, I should take care of it now before baby weight makes it even harder. ?I'm doing it mostly so I can have a cute baby belly.
