Get fit or die trying!

[mlyn26]

Hi there
I have suffered 2 losses this yr, a miscarriage in March and an Ectopic in June. I had to wait for 3 months after ectopic for healing purposes but am not TTC for next few months as have a new job that i will be starting sometime in October or early Nov and want to start that without stress of TTC or worry of new pregnancy .

In the meantime, after speaking to a friend and looking on net i want to get my BMI down and so am going to desperately try to lose some weight before end of the year. I am NOT TTC again until i lose 2 stone 11lbs.

So here i go - anyone fancy joining me, please feel free!

Good luck on your weight loss. I'm trying to lose some too before TTC and I know others in WTT are aswell. Are you going to be following a plan or just healthier eating?

Hi Essie,

I have joined a gym so going to do more exercise but also am going to join weightwatchers on Tues.

We can do it!!!

Yay for weight loss. I'm trying at the moment too. Going to my first Zumba class tomorrow!

 

[Essie]

My mum lost loads of weight doing WeightWatchers, and getting exercise is good. Releases endorphins I would like to increase my exercise but I find it hard to fit in around work. I take the dog out most days so at least I'm doing some exercise walking him.

Thats good then that you go for walks most days, i was barely doing anything. I can't wait to join weightwatchers x

Augh I would love to join you in this adventure! We are set to start ttc in Jan and I desperately need to lose some weight before then!! I rolled my ankle this past weekend so it will be a few more days before I can really get out and start working out again.

 

[mlyn26]

hi hodge podge, pleased your joining us. Sorry about your ankle xx

hey i am practically the same... wttc until dec/jan as i need to lose 20 kilos before i try again... im not surprised ive had so much baby making trouble in the past my lifestyle wasnt good at all.. now im eating really healthy, excercising, and on so many healthy supplements its not funny lol
the best of luck to everyone... its easy but ya just have to stay committed...and we have the best motivation of all... a baby!!!

i have a 2 year old boy, and hes quite active so i have a few good reasons to lower my BMI...

the best of luck to everyone... x

I once heard someone say "You can't outrun your mouth." ie. if you're putting in more than you're burning off, then you stay as you are.

Of course if it was only as simple as eat less, move more!

Hi girls

mlyn26 I`m so sorry for your losses, sending hugs x

I am trying to loose weight too, I would like to loose 3 stone, so I can fit into a wedding dress!! I get married next may, but would like to order my dress dec, jan time- I know the one I want! Trying to save money so just following my own healthy eating and walking everywhere!!! Part from at the mo as I have a kidney infection and any movement seems to hurt

Good luck girls x

 

[mlyn26]

Seeing as there are a few of us how about every tue i'm saying tue as thats my weight watchers night, we all write how much we've lost or if stayed same. No one needs to go through misery of saying if put on. How about first weigh in day is tue 21st to give up just over week for first weigh in. Who's in? Xx

 

[topsy]

Me, me, me!

We go on holiday this tues to the 21st sep, so sure I will weigh more then, than I do now!! But ya got to start somwhere!! Maybe it will help me to keep me on track while I`m away

[mlyn26]

Yay, i will put everyone's name on from with pounds wanting to lose and how many we have lost. xx

 

[topsy]

Sounds good, Thanks for motivating me. We can do this, for ourselves and for a lot of us our ultimate goal-our babies x

 

[mlyn26]

Never a truer word spoken Topsy. We can do it, i am going to do it. Oooo I can't wait to be 2st 11lbs lighter!!!!

 

[stacey_]

yeh that sounds great! ive lost 7 kilos in 4 weeks... but this wk has been so crappy.. i fink ive put on 1-2 kilos lol ahh well.. start again tomorrow x

 

[beccad]

Meeee! I'm not quite sure of total pounds to be honest. Probably go for a stone and see where I am. I don't think I want to lose much more, as I'm only borderline normal/overweight at the moment.

ps: with regards to lose/loose, you LOSE weight to make your trousers LOOSE

Yes, I'm a pedant
