Did a search here and found 2 threads on this subject, but both quite old already so figured it couldn't hurt to start a new one. I'd love to know if there's women on here who are close to me in shape and weight and trying to conceive. I never really thought much about my weight, like every woman I feel bad about it and get my down moments, but never enough to actually stick with diets and exercise plans. This mostly because I have fibromyalgia as well causing me to hurt and tire quickly, that mixed with a very weak mind mean I simply give up. But I'm off the pill for 3 months now and my cycle hasn't evened itself out yet, and I'm starting to freak and obviously blame it on my weight right away. Would love to hear stories of others that are seen as 'obese' and how they deal with it, if they do ovulate normally, have regular cycles etc.
Stats!:
Height: 174 cm / 5'8" (and a half! =P )
Weight: 115 kilos (at heaviest) / 253 pounds / 18 stone
BMI: 37.5
Size: UK 18/20 pants, UK 16/18/20 Top
Bra: 38J
I noticed a weight loss thread on here somewhere as well, but after quickly looking at it it just made me feel too bad to read on. All these size 12/14 girls losing weight because they're too large ... Size 14 sounds brilliant to me! Wouldn't want to go smaller than that to be honest. As for weight, I'd love to be lighter ... though not as light as the BMI suggests I should be. Apparently I should weight no more than 75 kilos to be in range, just can't imagine what I'd be like =/
Not really sure what the whole point is of this thread tbh! Just wanted to write it off my chest and hope *fingers crossed* there's people around here who have proven it's possible to be in my situation and conceive naturally. I know it all depends on the person, but it's just that bit of hope to cling onto =) Feel so selfish now with a bunch of you lovely women that have tried so long and me already getting desperate after only having been off the pill for 3 months. I apologise ... I'll stop my rambling now =)
