it's all worth it in the end saph. I too am overweight however my fs is yet to mention it yet!!! I'm waiting for it though!!! I think of it this way. I'm overweight now, imagine how big and uncomfortable I'll be pregnant and carrying around all that extra weight! It would be nicer to shed a few kilo's before the strain on your body. Keep your chin up. Feel free to chat to me anytime about weight venting etc!
