Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 24-year-old elementary school teaching who has been married for almost a year. We have been TTC for about 6 months, but I don't thing I'm ovulating. (I'm in the process of getting tests done.) One goal of mine is to try to get to a normal weight. I'm in the obese range and would need to lose exactly 51 pounds to be in the normal range. So I'm tryng to loose and conceive at the same time!


How do I put one of those weight loss things at the bottom of my screen?

Hi Daisyrach!


Welcome! I'm pretty new to this board as well, but I can tell you the girls here are quite friendly and knowledgeable! As for the weight loss ticker, a lot of people go to www.tickerfactory.com and set one up there.

Hope that helps!

Yes Novadele is right with the link for the ticker

I have found Low carbing the easiest way for me to lose weight. I've learned it helps with increasing fertility too because it lowers blood sugar and the risks associated with it such as diabetes and PCOS. Avoiding carbs as much as possible also help with increasing hormones linked ot the reproductive system.

I am obese too and was over 300lbs at the end of this last pregnancy. I am currently down to 229 now. I've lost 47lbs since January and 77 since October when I gave birth. I have been charting to monitor my cycles and to see if i am ovulating again yet before we TTC again. My last cycle was annovulatory so I am anxious to see if my hormones arenormalizing yet or not.

Good Luck and
