Hi Everyone
I've been on a little healthy eating diet for the past 3 weeks after finding that at 190 pounds (13.6 stone) I was classed as obese and had a BMI of 30.7.
I was pretty shocked that my weight was that, and my family had an intervention with me because my weight seemed to be spiralling out of control, I used to be a slim UK size 10 only 3 years ago and am now a size 18/20.
So I cut out a lot of the snacks, I only ate when I got hungry and am still classed as overweight but not obese, I'm now 176 pounds (12.6 stone) its still not good but I hope if I can lose another 28pounds (2 stones) I'll be back in the healthy catagory.
My weight had been really getting me down.
I remember when I first put on weight and I felt really healthy and didn't mind carrying a bit of extra cushioning, but then I started comfort eating, I never thought of how many calories were in anything or what I was doing to myself, I just sat and ate and got that initial high of eating something nice.
I think its ok to be a bit bigger if you still feel healthy and your weight hasn't become an issue, for me it had become an issue.
every other night It allows the sperm to grow properly, when you everynight the sperm are not fully mature and are useless, and when you go more than 3 days without the sperm or dead or damaged and do no good either every other night then 3 days before you ovuate, the day you ovuate, skip a day and one more time every other night until the 21st or 23rd depending on your cycle.
and be a mom!!!
I Just had read an article and thought would share - I shared it elsewhere on the forum as well. I had no intentions of geting in a debate but if someone shouts at me and makes insinuations I will answer. If people are offtended that on a topic of ttc overweight, I shared a recent article on that topic then I am sorry If I offended anyone.
i myself am overweight, i am quite aware that being overweight when pregnant has some added health risks both for myself and for my future baby
however, does this mean i have to try and try to loose weight and never succeed the 'normal' weight bracket by which time i could probably give up on wanting to have a child
i am sure that most people know the risk and i personaly don't see the point of posting a link to any article stating out a fact that all of us know and have probably already worried and fought to change in someway for a long time
why should other people be given the blessing to try for a child when i can't - does this mean i don't have the babies best interest at heart or i won't be a good mother no
by the time my bmi is in the normal range i would probaly had gone through the menopause - jk
if people don't like a thread availiable for overweight people ttc then please leave us alone and donlt join in

So I shouild not post a link showing recent medical findings? (BTW there was an open question in the original thread whose title has since been changed). By posting the link of recent medical finding - does that mean I should be attacked? And when attacked I should not defend myself? Did you read the link you said I should not post? I never said, I liked or disliked the thread - I just decided to share info which apparently is a no-no despite that is what we seem to do alot on the site. Who said you should not try to have a child? I thought the link was useful as it gave guidlines on safe(er) weight gain ranges in pregnancy. Because there is an added risk for metabolic disorders in your child if you are Already overweight.
Quote:
While genes play a role in weight issues for some people, recent studies indicate that genetics is not the main reason babies are born too fat. Rather, the new evidence suggests that in addition to gaining significantly more weight than is recommended during pregnancy, more women now start out fatter before they become pregnant.
Because birth weight tends to predict body mass index later in life, these findings suggest that excessive weight gain during pregnancy could raise the long-term risk of obesity-related disease in offspring, the authors concluded in their report, published online in The Lancet on Aug. 5.
This study, published in Circulation in June, found that a womans weight before pregnancy was even more important than excessive weight gain during pregnancy in predicting a number of risks for the baby: birth complications, excessive baby fat and metabolic abnormalities associated with poor health outcomes, including childhood obesity,
Now if you read the whole article there are recomendations of how much weight gain is safe in pregnancy based on your weight at the begining of pregnancy. If people find that insulting rather than useful - sorry.
& goodluck all.
