Im on my first ever 'diet', and trying to go from 14st (size 18) to 12st. I really need to get my bmi under 30.
We've been ttc for 2yrs, we both have some fertility problems but we have managed to get preg once but sadly that ended at 13wks.
If I to get ivf/icsi on nhs then bmi needs to be under 30. So that's good motivation.
Im using My Fitness Pal, watching what I eat, trying to get a good balance (im a vegetarian) and exercising (mostly walking, some wii fit & exercise dvds).
I am wondering what daily calorie intake others are aiming for, and what kind of level is realistic & sustainable. Most of my fat is round my belly.
Im aiming for 1200 calories a day but do go over this 2-3 days of the week. But overall managing quite well. I had no weightloss for the first 2-3 wks but now it is coming off. Prob losing about a lb a wk.
Would love to hear from others about what you're doing and what you think of my approach!
Thanks xx
