Hi lovelies,

This is my first time checking out glow and also our first time TTC. My fiance and I have finally decided we are ready to expand our family of two and enter parenthood.

I joined so that I may keep track of my fertile days and have luck conceiving the first few tries. I also wanted a community to talk to who can understand what I'm going through. Right now only a handful of our friend's/family knows we are planning for a mini us :). I'm terrible with secrets by the way. So here I am.

Since this is my first time experiencing entering motherhood I don't have much advice for others yet but I can be helpful when it comes to weight loss.

A little about me... I'm 22 years young engaged to the love of my life and best friend of 5 years. I have been overweight a majority of my life and recently got serious about getting healthy and am no longer allowing myself to give up. I started my journey in November of 2015 and have been able to shake 40lbs off in about 5 months. I am currently still overweight with 40 more pounds to lose but in a way better place than before.

The decision to start TTC before I complete my weight loss is something I'm still dabbling with. At this point I'm 10lbs lighter than my high school weight and much more active and eating great. So I figure I can wait until after 9 months to reach for my goal weight of 140.

I just wanted to let you lovely ladies know a new mama is coming to glow town and I will be looking forward to being a beam of positivity and support. So if you see me posting often in the TTC forum don't hesitate to stop and say hi, I really do appreciate you already. I will be needing so much advice from you seasoned spicy mamas out there!
