Dieting to ttc girls! - What do you think?

[Mynx]

Bloody great idea!

I've never really been overweight but since I hit 30 (nearly 5 years ago lol) I've noticed a definate thickening around the middle!!
Altho I wont be following any diets as such, I'm gonna be cutting back on the snacks and cherry coke and I'll see where that takes me. Nice to know that you girls will be here for support!

Age: 34

Height: 5ft 7

Weight (optional):11 Stone 2 lbs

BMI: 24.5 (close to the overweight category!)

Target weight loss: 1 stone

Reason for losing weight: New Year, new start.. to tone up.. to feel healthier

Weakness's: Chocolate, chips (fries), cherry coke, pepsi, 3 sugars in tea lol

Im so pleased so many girls are interested!
How about... we all try and get our profiles done by 2nd Jan (official new year diet start date!) then have the first weigh in on 9th? Give people a chance to get going, exactly a week after the 'official' start?

More than open to suggestions though!

For the blinkies, if you count the number of the one you want, then quote my post. The individual image codes will come up, count along (the end of each is the [/img] part) then post from

I'm definitely up for starting on the 2nd because I had a bit of a binge on a 'luxury biscuit selection' last night.oops.
So how is this going to work?Are we going to have a new thread for each weigh in or something or otherwise we might end up with about 2000 pages?!?Or a new sub-folder inside the WTT section?xxxxx

 

[Drazic<3]

oo yeah, thats a good point. I hadnt really thought about that to be honest
We could carry on with this one till it starts getting big, then change it? Or just start a new thread each month?

Im so glad so many ladies are up for it. I have lots to lose but it will be good if i can at least start off with everyone Going to a buffet tonight too. hence the 2nd

Nearly there now, weirdly im looking forward to it. I bet that will last about an hour. haha

 

[toffee87]

The hardest thing for me is not eating the cookies at work lol.

Me too!I think because its a group thing it seems exciting whereas if it was just me starting a diet I would be dreading it..
Enjoy your buffet
xxxx

Stop eating the cookies and do some work you slacker!!(joking of course hon) xx

 

[Drazic<3]

I started my new year with Davina!
Just done her superbody workout with the extra abs bit.
I nearly died half way through - I had to keep stopping it to catch my breath and now I'm aching all over.
Good way start to the year though. (soon to be ruined by our roast dinner!)

I do have some fab news for all the girls on this thread....
The ideal BMI for conception is 24 !!!

(As suggested in my new book on "Getting Pregnant Faster - Boost your fertility in just 3 months" by Dr Marilyn Glenville - UK based fertility guru)

 

[Drazic<3]

When i had kian i went up to 11 stone, my normal weight was 8 half-9 before getting pregnant...i lost 2 stone doing the charlie brooks dvd, i did it 3 times week and gradually reduced it to twice, if you stick at it it works and i would reccomend that dvd to anyone!!! It took around 2-3 months!! Good luck girls!!!

 

[lauraloo24]

Well i have started the big diet today!! I'm just aiming to eat healthier, quit snacking and get more exercise. I've joined a gym this week and will start going next week. Also took the dog for a long walk this afternoon. I'm also going through a recipe book i've got called Cook Yourself Thin, i love cooking but dont get the time which means i mostly end up eating rubbish. So i'm going to get into cooking again - going food shopping tomorrow to buy lots of healthy food! xx

 

[toffee87]

I don't know if anyone else finds this, but whenever I've tried to lose weight before. I start, do it intensely and then stop.

I'm going to have to take it steady for a couple of weeks to get into it, rather than crashing in 2 weeks time.
