My partner and I decided we want to start ttc this year. The problem is, I’m overweight. I’m 5’4, 180 lbs. I know pregnancy will bring more weight gain so I’d like to get to a more comfortable weight.

In December, I signed up for a weight loss challenge where you lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks by eating frequent, healthy meals (not cutting calories) and working out 5 times a week. I’m hoping to get down to 150. Is it ok to do this while ttc or should I wait until I’ve lost the weight to start trying?

On a post I read, a lady suggested going for it since the couple probably wouldn’t conceive right away anyway.

Thoughts?
