I have two boys, and plan to TTC next year. I have a lot of weight to lose- at least 40 lbs in addition to the 15 I've lost since the beginning of January. I'm not following the LE diet right now, and I'm actively avoiding pregnancy. Other than getting down to a healthier weight, is there anything else I could/should be doing long term?

Go vegetarian, eat only 2-3 meals daily, stop snacking.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

If you can lose the weight on a vegetarian diet that's great. But not everyone can, so if you need to include more animal protein for now then that is ok.
I also think that you may be better off eating smaller meals more than 2-3 times a day, if that helps you get the weight off. TTC next year is a ways away and if you find you lose more easily on 5 small meals a day, I'd do that for now.
Exercise will also help with sway and weight loss.!!! Questions??
