Anyone else want to lose weight before TTC?

[LittleMinx]

so fed up with myself, I'm really struggling to get back on track with the dieting. You would think that TTC would be enough motivation to stick to dieting but no.

Sorry ladies just on a downer at the moment.

We all have times of no motivation chick.. Don't beat yourself up about it .. Allow yourself a day of indulgence and then start again xx

 

[CarlyP]

Way to go chick! You are doing amazingly.

I'm still feeling shocking .. Hope to be on the up tomorrow, but not holding out much hope. xx

Poor you are you taking anything to help? Xx

I know i'm fed up now Only taking paracetamol and sleeping lots, kind of better today but still shattered.

How's TTC so far?! X

I agree, 1 bad day doesn't equal 1 bad week, get right back on it tomorrow, do you do meal plans? I swear by them I stay on track better when I plan what I'm eating x

Badly .. We have both had this flu bug so not felt very sexy Although i think i am going to ov soon... I've become a cervix checker!! Something i never ever thought i would do, but hey ho i guess the better i know my body, the better chance we have of a BFP.

I'm about ready to scream, I'm getting to the point where I really dislike my mil.

First she makes a comment about whether I'm actually going to stick to sw this time or not. And then today when we were at the artisan market she decided to shout to me that some marshmallows were fat free in front of a huge group of people

She's vile. She's always got something bad to say about someone, roll on home time tomorrow night

 

[jessicasmum]

Thanks ladies Was on such a downer yesterday but as of last night we are TTC again!!!

The plan is just to BD every other day, no OPKs/charting while continue with dieting/healthy eating.

I'm on cycle day 11 now and last cycle was 42/43 days (hoping cycles get shorter with dieting and vitamins) so will O probably last week in the month if cycle is similar. Not pinning hopes of conceiving straight off any way, I'm just happy to be TTC

Really sorry about your MIL Is she always like this? and does she talk like this to everyone?

My MIL pisses me off sometimes with things she says but it's normally things like what we should be doing with the house or that something isn't clean, or things with my daughter like she needs a hair cut etc.... I suppose it's not really that bad but I worry one time I'm having a bad day and she says something I will say something back that I might regret iykwim

I don't think anyone gets on with their MIL!! Lol.

Minx I hope you feel better when the time comes to BD!

Heather good luck x

Just feels a bit daunting at first over there because doesn't feel quite as you can fit in a group as quickly like over here but I guess just give it more time and hope to fit in soon.

Saying that there is 1 post I have joined that some of you ladies who will continue dieting while TTC might want to join, here's the link.

I had quick scan through previous post on there and thought I saw you Yeah it seems a nice group, good that there are others out there to share dieting and TTC with.

Oh god, no what a waste not the ipad, throw something that's hers instead

 

[CarlyP]

Haha!!

Well I will look for it when we start trying.

I'm a bit nervous at the moment because I am 3 days late, I am never late always like clockwork, I think I will start AF as I am having cramps, headache been feeling nauseous today so I'm sure she's round the corner, but I can't help wondering.

The birth control we rely on is an app on my phone that tracks my period so pin points when ovulation will be, and during my fertile days we use condoms, but now I'm thinking that it's possible I ovulated later as my app isn't 100% certain when my ovulation day is! I also don't do OPKs or temp I was going to start doing them when AF shows but she isn't showing!

What do you ladies think?! X

I have my baby weight to lose from my latest pregnancy, I have 20lbs to lose and got the green light to go ahead and start working out and going on a diet from my midwife, so hopefully I start losing soon, though I am expecting more results after the 3 month mark because it's typical for the bodies of breastfeeding mothers to hold onto the extra fat until after 3 months when the hormones go through more changes and baby is demanding more.

I'm going away for the Thanksgiving holiday, but plan on going grocery shopping for really healthy foods once we return. I have a pinterest board full of healthy recipes I plan on trying out. I've also done a bit of research and made notes on foods that have great health benefits and trying to work them into my diet.

I've made a few small changes already, I'm having a cup of hot green tea a day, and drinking water throughout the day, and have a glass of milk with dinner. Actually I think drinking the green tea and water so much has made my body reject any kind of soda, because lately when I've tried to consume soft drinks, it makes me sick to my stomach, probably better in the end anyway.

I'm also doing the 24 day ab challenge, and after that, the squats challenge, then the plank challenge, then going back around to the ab challenge and doing it all over again. Was thinking about taking some before and after pictures.

I'd do a test if I were you, just to be on the safe side
