Anyone else want to lose weight before TTC?

[LockandKey]

After a busy month I am back and happy to say that I have finally started to lose weight 3 months post partum. I suspected that would be the case too as it is exactly what happened after my DD was born. So far I've lost 4lbs in this month alone

I am down today because I've definitely put on like 4lbs with all the Christmas parties in the last two weeks. And I've been running every other day and going to the gym a lot. It's just the eating! But it's hard to say no when it's free and tasty and only available at this time of the year.

Definitely want to join here for after the holidays!!

I want to lose at least 50 lbs before getting pregnant again. That's my goal. It's so hard though, since I basically never have time to work out. I work till 5ish, get our daughter, spend time with her, and put her to bed. By the time that's done, I'm beat. I'm going to have to make myself do at least 10 mins on the elliptical at night. 10 mins is nothing time-wise, and at least it'll be something to get me in shape.

I'm now focusing on losing weight before TTC again.

Good luck to you all

Hi guys! Merry Christmas

How did everyone go over the festive season food wise?

 

[Tweak0605]

I ate sooooo much food. And we brought home leftovers too. We're gonna eat it real quick, cause after the new year, my husband and I are starting our diet. I have a new incentive for losing weight - my best friend is getting married soon!! So I'll have a bridesmaid dress to fit into probably next year!!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!


I ate soooo much!

Ladies, I'm so unbelievably tempted to join you all back here. I'm having a major freak out at the moment about my size/weight, have joined my fitness pal and so far so good (I'm only on my 3rd full day of being on plan).

I'm a bit scared about getting pregnant at this size, so am really not sure what to do for the best.

Hope you're all ok and had a lovely time over christmas and the new year

 

[Tweak0605]

I'm back on the bandwagon now! Have done 4 great days on myfitnesspal, complete with exercise and below my calories. Average 1200-1400 cals a day, with 10ish mins of exercise a day.

Hey EmmyReece! Don't freak out! You are already doing it all 'right' by eating healthily and getting on board with MFP, you are establishing good habits

I want to lose more weight, I've lost ten kilos now, but I also desperately want a child. So we have started TTC with the aim being I can still lose weight while trying and I can still eat cleanly and healthily all through my pregnancy... We got this!

Im losing weight because im doing Tough Mudder in July so im working out and watching what i eat anyway. Last time i was pregnant i was under consultant because i was overweight and next time i dont want to have tha tlooming over me

I've lost 45lbs since I good Goodlife Fitness in Oct.2011 so that'll probably help in the future when I have children.

Hello all

I have not followed slimming world at all over Christmas, but I am back in on Wednesday so will see the damage its done

Not to bothered TBH, I know I can get straight back on track! Just annoying that I can't lose weight like now.... I really want a baba!!!!

 

[EmmyReece]

Hope it's not too bad for you on wednesday CarlyP, as you say you can get back on it. And all that matters is that you had a lovely xmas and new year

 

[EmmyReece]

Just been for a quick walk with the dog and absolutely hated it It was more the fact that I was walking him on my own at night, so don't plan on doing that in a hurry. I will admit I'm lazy with him and will just play out in the back garden with him, which 100% isn't fair on him, so I've just broken the news to hubby that he's coming with me (even if it's just for 10 minutes) on his nights off

 

[EmmyReece]

4lbs off since weighing myself the day after my birthday, so unbelievably chuffed. Really would love to get a minimum of 2.5lb off this week to get me out of the 360s again

Hope everyone else is doing ok

CarlyP how did it go at slimming world? xx

Hi everyone, can I join you all in here? I've been losing weight over the last year or so now as I started at over 19st. My OH and I have agreed to start trying in the summer holidays so I'm hoping to lose another 2 stone by then. I have a strong family history of diabetes and I had gestational diabetes with my little boy, so I want to be as health as possible pre pregnancy so that I can hopefully avoid it next time around or if not then I know I did everything I could to prevent it.

I'm on MFP and it's been a really useful tool for me. I have a fairly active job and invested in some weights and a couple of other bits to work out with at home, this week has gone ok (haven't weighed in yet) but I plan to do one or two more work outs next week

 

[EmmyReece]

hi dom85 of course you can join in here

it sounds like you've got a good system going and hopefully you can avoid the gestational diabetes with your next lo, good luck for when you do weigh in, let us know how you get on xx

I'm overweight and ttc. If i loose i loose, if i don't, i don't. Not a huge deal for me. They say that overweight people have more problems but i know a lot of overweight people who have had smooth and some slimmer people that have had more problems
