Anyone trying to loose weight BEFORE getting a BFP?

Question

Hi ladies

,
Is there anyone out there TTC who is also trying to loose a few lbs? I’m about 15lbs over my ideal weight (thanks Quarantine😩) and I don’t know how to get motivated to loose weight because my mind is like “ummm you’re just going to gain it all back WHEN I get pregnant” 
How do you all stay motivated? I know I’d have a MUCH healthier pregnancy if I lost some of these pesky pounds now. 
Edited to add: I’m 5’1” and 150lbs....I’ve had previous success with WW (weight watchers) and intermittent fasting, so that is probably what I would do again! Any tips or words of encouragement are helpful! XOXOX  PS this is me right now- not pregnant 🥺

Answer

I stay motivated to move my body to help the blood flow. Exercise, even just light exercise or walking will help.

Answer

I have lost 35 lbs since quarantine but I was kind of forced since IVF requires a bmi under 35.
I just upped my dog walk every morning from 1.5 miles to 3.5 miles. I workout twice a week and swim 3 times a week.

Answer

I'm doing intermittent fasting and it's working for me. I want to be down to at least 130 and I'm down to 143. I started out 153-155.

Answer

I started walking in June. It helps me mentally lol and I’ve cut way back on eating and snacks

Answer

With my first pregnancy I started at 180 and went up to 205 until I delivered. I dropped back down to 180 about 3 months PP, but couldn’t get down below that. I’m finally down to 170 Which just happened this past month when I went off bc. I think bc was preventing me from losing the weight. I’m hoping to get down to 150 or less as I’m 5’5” and still considered overweight at 170.
