Anyone else want to lose weight before TTC?

[CarlyP]

MMM, may have to try that too!!

 

[CarlyP]

Hi all how are you all?

I am currently 7 days late I have a doctors appointment this afternoon at 4.30pm so hoping they can help with whatever is going on with my cycle

 

[EmmyReece]

[CarlyP]

Thank you x

I am about 5 stone over where I wanna be. I am going to Vegas in June so I need to feel slimmer for a happier time as last time I went I felt dreadful. I've started slimming world last week and have lost 5lb so far. I want to lose at least 2 and a half stone by then and figured if I got pregnant when we started trying (in Vegas) then it would give me 2 1/2 stone to gain whilst pregnant and I would end up where I am now opposed to adding ontop of my current weight and making me feel dreadful. Hopefully I'll lose more before the pregnancy though as ovbiously I don't know when we will fall.

 

[EmmyReece]

Well done on the 5lb loss so far Amy-Lea it seems a few of us here are doing slimming world

Vegas sounds amazing and such an incentive to lose some weight (as well as to be ready to start ttc too) xx

Hiya ladies...

I am finally better My goodness that flu bug was nasty. And its from that into the 2WW! I'm symptom spotting like a crazy lady, but pretty sure this months a dud.

Carly - I hope the Dr's goes well!

AL - You lucky lady, starting a TTC journey in Vegas is so romantic.

Emmy - Not long now! And i see straight to TTC

 

[EmmyReece]

LittleMinx sooooo pleased that you're feeling better Wishing you lots and lots of luck for the 2ww

Yep it'll be straight to ttc for us, I just don't think I could ntnp and know I would just want to go all out. It probably won't happen for a while so I'll still be working on the weight loss

 

[Amy-Lea]

I know I'm so excited. Need to try and over come the jet lag though as last time I was wiped out for the first few days!

 

[EmmyReece]

I've got no tips for jet lag as the furthest we've ever flown is to turkey, hopefully you'll find something to help overcome it as it would be such a shame to suffer with it again

We actually almost went on honeymoon to Vegas but we'd have to go down to the embassy in London for hubby's visa so weren't sure whether it was worth it or not. But from what I've seen since then, it really is worth it, so maybe one year we'll get to go

 

[CarlyP]

Well done on the weight loss so far Amy-Lea it is a fab diet I swear by it

Minx- glad your feeling better Hun fingers crossed for 2ww, what are your symptoms??

Emmy who knows it may happen on your first cycle

As for me I forgot to mention I won Miss Slinky 2013 at my SW group last night was very overwhelmed, I got some beautiful roses, a sash and a card!!

 

[EmmyReece]

CarlyP that's fab how on earth did you forget though lol? Very well deserved

 

[LittleMinx]

I've got no tips either because I've never been on a plane.... ... Total phobia of flying.

Emmy, i was the same... NTNP seemed like a lovely idea, but the moment the contraception went in the bin that idea went with it! It was full steam ahead into TTC.

[EmmyReece]

I'm petrified LittleMinx, hubby takes the mick as I grab his hand as we're taking off and don't let go until we're well in the air

Check you out Miss Slinky And thank you xx

Symptoms so far are .. Cramping 4-5DPO, I'm seriously moody the last 2 days, like proper bite ya head off moody and my CM hasn't dried up but gone creamy.

I know its more than likely just me being a moody cow in general who had a few cramps, but hey.. I'm rolling with it xx

My OH wouldn't have a hand left! The thought alone makes me go all weird.

 

[Amy-Lea]

Carly, its good to see your ticker, I'm only 3lb above your starting weight and wanting to go half a stone under your target. How long has it taken you to get where you are? Well done on Miss Slinky.

 

[CarlyP]

Thank you !

It has taken me 9 months so far, I would like to go further under my target but i wanted to see how I felt at 12 stone, then just go bit by bit.

Also it is just through the slimming world eating plan extra easy, I haven't exercised once.

 

[CarlyP]

Doctor has booked me in for a blood test on 25th November!!! Ages to wait. I wonder if AF will show before then

 

[EmmyReece]

Yikes, that's a long wait I'm guessing they will probably still want to run blood tests even if af has turned up I totally sympathise, absolutely hate it when af goes awol
