How I did it: My husband and I decided to let nature take its course and if we had a baby, great - if not, it would happen when it was meant to be. I found out on Christmas Eve 2007 that I was pregnant, and the next month I found out at my first ultrasound that I was having twins! In August 2008 our twin girls were born.

We’ll see how much of it comes off in the first few weeks and I’ll figure out how much I really want to lose from there.
