I'm pretty new here too. I weigh 336 pounds down from 428 last year at this time. We've been TTC for 3 years this September. My husband was overweight too. He lost 168 pounds. We just started clomid (I've always had irregular periods from the very beginning so we worked through other options including losing the weight first. I am still eating relatively within the Weight Watchers point system but have focused on maintaining since school's been out. I also feel that TTC and focusing on weight loss is really stressful so I just tell everyone that I hope to quit Weight Watchers soon (you aren't allowed "officially" on the program if you're pregnant) and gain some weight (praying for pregnancy and the weight gain with it

I, too, would like to see the Plus Size board get active. We really have to encourage each other because sometimes others are too negative towards us. Good luck and lots of baby dust to all!

Hi Manda!

Congrats to you and your DH on the weight loss! And good luck with the Clomid!

I just restarted Weight Watchers - hoping I can lose some weight before getting PG but I'd be happy to quit early!

Thanks, Maurene! Let me know if you need any food ideas on Weight Watchers. You can check out my husband's myspace page to see before and after pics of us both. He also made a weight loss video and keeps a Weight Watchers journal on there with some of our favorite foods and their point values. myspace.com/evpguy Good luck to you and your DH and becoming pregnant. Your son's picture is adorable!
