I had a checkup with my new family doctor last week. She was matter-of-fact that yes, it would be healthy for me to lose 30 pounds before trying to get pregnant. It seems like such a big number. I feel intimidated. She also reiterated the possible pros and cons of staying on my anti-anxiety medication during pregnancy, ultimately telling me that it is up to me to decide what is best. All things equal, I would stay on my medication. It's been such a good thing for me, I feel so much more stable and happy when I am on it. But I absolutely do not want to go courting unnecessary risk during pregnancy. I feel scared about withdrawal and what life will feel like without the meds. It's been a few years. So these are things I am thinking about right now. Today I did Nerd Fitness workout 2A to get back on the exercise bandwagon. I feel good! Sincerely, Laura AKA Gleagor

Hi All, I am pushing myself to post here because I have foresworn Facebook and I need a fitness community if I am going to go anywhere with this. I am 32 and live in Athens, GA (shout-out to any fellow Athenians out there!). I would like to lose 30 pounds and wean myself off my anxiety medication to better my chances of getting pregnant/having a healthy pregnancy when we start trying this fall. The other part of me says "Eh, that sounds hard and unpleasant, let's just watch YouTube videos and eat cookies all day." I know once I titrate off my meds, I am going to need exercise more than ever to stay chill. So here I am. I am grateful to have found this community. Sincerely, Laura
