in Trying to Get Pregnant

The soon-to-be hubby and I have decided to start TTC this time next year and I want to begin preparing my body now. I plan on trying to lose as much weight as possible before then since I am currently nearly 100 pounds overweight at the moment and am looking for tips and advice on weight loss and preparing for conception. Also what are some helpful books you have read about TTC?

Thank you advance for your insight!

    The book Taking Charge of Your Fertility and the website/app Fertility Friend are really great resources, especially if you're interested in charting. I definitely recommend that. You can also start taking a prenatal vitamin.
