After I get to my goal weight, my husband & I are going to try to get pregnant again.  How hard is it to lose the baby weight & how much did you gain during peegnancy?

I think the weight gain and loss all depends on the individual and for some it is harder/easier than others. Of course if you try to stay as active as you can pending no complications, stick to eating healthy, etc that will make it easier. I was at my goal weight when I got pregnant with my son in 2007. I gained just under 29 lbs and delivered him at 37 weeks. I did not have a c-section so was able to get back to things relatively quickly after. By the time I had my 6 week post partum check up I had lost all of the weight and a little bit more. I do think breastfeeding helped some as well. I am now almost 17 weeks pregnant with #2 and so far have not gained any weight but mainly due to morning sickness. I think I may now finally be up a few pounds but as with first pregnancy have tried to stay active and eat healthy. In the end a happy baby is worth it all!

I gained 35 total , lost 20 within the first month and am still working on the final 15 (which are the toughest 15 in a while). I think that I would have more progress if my little one could be outside with me, it wasn't so cold outside (the weather has really disrupted my routine) and if we had any family in town to keep an eye on her for an hour or two for me.

I could not lose the last 40lbs (gained 70 last pregnancy) for the life of me! I tried everything! now my LO is 22 months and Now I am expecting (unplanned) again, and the weight is actually coming off. I have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks due to extreme morning sickness!
