Anyone else losing weight to help TTC

[shortie58]

I am currently attending slimming world but this last month have gone all to pot and been eating everything in sight, but as of today I am back on plan and hoping to lose some excess weight for the 2nd cycle of TTC

Anyone else fancy joining me ?

haha, I posted almost an identical thread right after you! I thought it double posted then I came to look in here...

I've started my 'losing weight' journey this week. Starting with diet/exercise... it has taken me years to find the motivation to even start

What is 'slimming world'? I've seen lots of people mentioning it but don't know what it is...

Hi shortie.

I also go to Slimming World. I didn't start because I was ttc, I started before we decided to try but I have lost nearly 2 stone (1 stone, 10.5lbs) so need another 3.5lbs to get to 2 stone and am feeling much better about myself! It can only help with the ttc imo.
Good luck to you.

Itsy, its a slimming plan which really works! Nothing is out of bounds, its so good! I'm loving it. Have a look online for a group near you which you can attend. You go once a week, get weighed and then if you like, stay to group where everyone shares their experiences etc. I love it!

Hi ladies I started losing weight before my first daughter was born and have gone from 12.5 stone and am now Around 11 stone although I lost most of that before starting slimming world. but I totally agree that it is a fantastic healthy eating plan and nothing is out of bounds and you can eat loads ..

Hubby and I are ttc again so that is urging me to lose weight again as I know it should help my chances

Good luck ladies maybe we should post updated regularly

I'm also doing slimming world to conceive! my cycles where all over the place and tests showed nothing but I had put on A LOT of weight! so I was just told to go and loose some to see if it helped before the doctor would help me more!
I've lost 15lb so far! but I have to admit I'm starting to find myself picking more I need to stop it!

I've lost 4st/25kg I've not done it for this reason but for myself. But I guess losing the weight will boost my sperm with the healthy eating so have tried to keep it going.

Well done on your losses folks

I'm doing weight watchers, and I love that you can eat anything

do you have to count everything you eat in weight watchers?

 

[toffee87]

It's points, fruit and veg is free so don't have to count them x

Me!!! I joined slimming world 2 1/2 weeks ago and I`ve lost 10lbs already

Although this week a girl (bigger than me ) announced shes 14 weeks pregnant and didn't know.... I nearly cried.. Im just hoping weightloss will contribute in helping me to make an announcement like that soon.

I too am trying to lose weight in order to have my first child! I have PCOS but other than that, my periods are regular and I ovulate monthly. Therefore I must lose weight to increase my chances and hopefully get rid of the PCOS! I have never heard of the slimming world program but I will look it up! I have a lot more weight to lose than the rest of you (I started at 271lbs on May 14th and am now down to 262lbs on May 23rd) so Good luck to everyone with their weight loss goals!!

I'm overweight and thought I might have PCOS. While I was waiting for my test results to come back I started a low GI and slightly lower total carb/higher protein diet. It turns out I don't have PCOS but I've lost 2.5 kg in around 2 weeks. I haven't actually lost any weight for a very long time, so I guess the change in diet is working. I've been referred to a fertility specialist, but hopefully just losing some weight will be enough.

Good luck to you all!

Im at weight watchers. I decided to do it for me but then we decided we would like to try for #3 and as I haven't had a cycle since my 17month old was born, which I believe is due to weight gain I guess slimming down can only help!

I put 3 stone on whilst pregnant with DD2! So far I have lost 10lbs (was 11lbs but I put a lb on this week so need to get back on track sharpish!)

I've been researching and apparenlty even getting just 10lbs off can help bring cycles back! I'm waiting to fininsh my pack of the combined pill in about a week and then I'll be able to tell if losing weight is helping!

Good luck everyone!

I have gone on a low fat diet, my doctor wanted me to and I was ok with it, found this great website called skinnytaste.com my last two weeks consisted of her recipes and I have yet to feel like I'm dieting, I have also cut out a majority of my pop intake instead of that being all I drink I'm down to one maybe every 4 to 5 days, if that. And idk if I have lost weight but I assume I have since my shorts from last summer are fitting just fine and I don't even have to suck it in to zip them up!

P.S. I saw someone say they are doing weight watchers, skinnytaste.com gives you how many points each of her recipes is for weight watchers ^_^

Good luck everyone hope we all do well in our weight loss challenge and look forward to hearing us all get our well deserved

I joined Slimming World back in February and have lost 2 stone and half a pound so far. I'm thrilled with that and am looking forward to losing more.
Me and hubby are ttc #1 and this is only our second month trying. I joined SW because I wanted to lose at least 10% weight before starting ttc and then I wanted to continue losing weight whilst trying. Hubby has also lost weight coz he has been eating the same dinners as me and has also cut back on naughty foods!
I would recommend Slimming World to anyone.
Good luck to everyone else losing weight and hope you all get your BFPs soon. x

I have tried slimming world twice before but try as I might, I just couldn't seem to get my head around it! I'm now thinking of starting the secret diet drops diet again next week. It's really strict though, but apparently your guaranteed to loose on average if 1lb a day
