I would say if you can drop any weight before hand, then do so. But on the other hand, you don't want to be trying to get pregnant while depleting your body of various nutrients. My suggestion would be to try to lower your calorie intake and walk as much as possible. I wasn't overweight when I got pregnant with my son, but losing the weight afterwards has been difficult. I try to walk everyday, even if it's just through the mall, and my son loves getting out and seeing new faces.
