losing weight...only to get fat and prego again

I lost all my baby weight and am now 2 lbs less than the first time I conceived. But I have some issues with diabetes that lingered after my first pregnancy, and my fat has definitely redistributed.
I like being pregnant, but my body and my pancreas apparently DON'T. In any case, we're going to try for another one this year since it's Year of the Boar. Next year is Year of the Rat, also a good one.
But my goal is a 10% weight loss because that would be a very healthy place to be for pregnancy, and especially since I could stand to do it even during a pregnancy. It's a myth, apparently, that you have to gain 25-30 lbs during your pregnancy. Some people need to gain more to maintain a healthy pregnancy, and some folks, like myself, can stand to gain zero. I'm not a huge woman, but I am pretty solidly built, and I am considered obese (a word that makes me cry more than the happier sounding "fatty fatty fatkins".)
Anyway, I figure once I've gone a second round with babymaking, I can be done with it. I'm also pretty old. So anything that happens between now and 40 will only be self and life-improving.
