Anyone else want to lose weight before TTC?

Pasta salads could work as you could chuck in whatever you like, or even pasta bakes with a tomato based sauce?

 

[Caite]

I could try those, thank you

Hiya girls :wave:

Well today has been a total fail! Started with peanut butter on 50/50 toast. Then i wasn't hungry at lunch.. a while later i scoffed a bag of hula hoops and a mini mars bar, and just now ate a bowl of coco pops .. Having omelette for tea I think.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new attitude!

Erm......do i see a change in your TTC date? So happy for you xx

 

[EmmyReece]

yep there's been a bit of a change. We're still undecided about whether to go for it in december or ntnp from then onwards as if we get lucky fairly early then I'll be about 27-28 weeks when we go on honeymoon in June, it all depends on what my cycle does and when ov happens as we don't want it to be too late for me to be able to get to Dalyan and back

Minx - Always start a fresh day rather then a fresh week

Emmy - Great news on your TTC date, just go with the flow and see how you feel in December

As for me, I have had a good couple of days, but I went out last night and had a fair few vodkas, but I am going to be religious with SW the rest of the week so hoping it won't make much of an impact.

Also, I saw my muscle specialist yesterday as I have a type of limb girdle muscular dystrophy, it is very mild at the moment and I am hoping it stays this way and doesn't get any worse, but I spoke to him about our plans for another baby and he told me I should wait a while longer until we find out which type of LGMD I have just in case it can be passed on
But it could take years to find out possibly I will never know, I really don't know what to do, my OH just said to carry on with our plan as it is better to give a life then no life at all, but I'm very confused now, its what I want more then anything.

What would you ladies do? xx

 

[CarlyP]

Welcome Caite

 

[EmmyReece]

If you possibly will never know, I'd probably go with what your oh says. You feel so strongly about this that it would be such a shame to have to put it on the back burner. I think you and oh should have a long chat and see where you want to go from there

I think your right, I have to trust my instinct I think.

 

[EmmyReece]

I think your right, I have to trust my instinct I think.

Have your other children been affected by it?

No, but I didn't start showing symptoms until I was 25 x

 

[EmmyReece]

I wish I had the answers for you. We'll be here whatever you decide xx

... Its such a personal choice hun and one that you will get right regardless of what you decide as there are no rights and wrongs here.

My son has ASD and other bits that go with it, we always knew that our risks of another child having it were higher than normal, but it hasn't stopped us. We know what it entails and although we hope the next one doesn't have it we are prepared for it to happen.

The other thing that we said is, there is always conditions/illnesses etc that are hereditary and if we stopped having children due to these the human race wouldn't exist. I wont lie i know nothing about the condition you have so don't know the ins and outs of how it affects your day to day life.

If it was me i would keep my plans as they are, but make sure i was armed with as much info as possible.

Sorry for the waffle Always about if you want a chat x

Hey ladies sorry been away for a few days but I thought I would give you all alittle update on me, I am already starting to lose some weight! I have lost 3lbs since starting my diet, work out and vitamins on Oct 29th and Im feeling great already. I have cut myself down to 2 meals a day with 3 small snacks in-between and I drink all water besides a small soda a day(which is my addiction that Im breaking).
The vitamin I am taking is a natural cleanse vitamin and I also drink a detox tea, I do them both when I first wake up and before I go to bed so far its the only thing that has worked so here's to hoping my goal isn't too far away
Hope everyone is doing well

Hi ladies I have been MIA as I haven't been doing my dieting very well at all It has been 6 weeks since I started tomorrow and in the first 3 weeks I lost 18 pounds then the last 3 weeks I have been terrible but I weighed myself this morning and I'm still at a loss of 11 pounds so gained 7 back in the 3 weeks.
So I am back on it as of today, only 8 more weeks until we TTC so I am going to knuckle down and lose as much as possible

MEAL PLAN FOR TODAY

Breakfast: oats so simple breakfast biscuits, banana and cup of tea (skimmed milk and calorie free sweetener)

Dinner: Ryvitas with Tesco healthy choice sweet chili cottage cheese

Tea: Tesco healthy choice jacket potato with cheese, salad and 2 slices whole meal bread (small pieces 56 calories each)

Snacks/desserts: fat free activa yoghurt and fruit.
