Lose wieght before getting PG.

[Inge]

Do you want to lose weight before you fall pregnant? I would like to lose a stone or two before but Its not the most important thing. Im a size 14 and would like to get to a size 12 soon. Iv jst started a slim fast style diet and am sticking to it
Anyone else looking to lose some wieght before having a baby? Or is weight not an important issue in your plans to TTC?
If you do want to lose some weight, what are you doing to reach your goal? What type of diet/exercise are you doing at the moment?

I just had a body composition test done at the gym last week to see where I am. It came back at 29% body fat compared to 31% over a year ago. I have 8 lbs to lose in order to be in what they consider 'healthy' range. I workout everyday, so if I want to lose I would need to really tighten up the food habits. So yes I'd like to, but I don't think I'm too out of wack . . .

I am about a stone and a half heavier than when I got pg last April so would love to lose that but it is coming off so slowly! I have joined a Curves gym which I am really enjoying and trying to cut down my portions!

I would like to lose weight, I am a 14-16 but I exercise probably 4 times per week and I am pretty solid (legs like a rugby player - very sexy!! NOT!), I do love my food and drink though and I am sure if I didnt go to the gym a lot I'd be about a size 20! ha!

Hey, I am trying to get to a size 12, I am back in my 14's and they appear to be getting baggier.

I am doing UK Slimming World and cutting down in general. I am also doing workout dvd's at home and started jogging last week (only 3 times a week and building up distance and pace slowly ).

Would always be happy to get my but would prefer to lose another half a stone before I did if possible. Aiming to carry on with my weight loss at 1lb per week if I can.

Good luck to you all girls X

Just POAS and got a BFN and a period in one go!!!
Had my 1st day of diet. Shake for brekkie, a handful of chicken and a mullerlight and later will have a meal bar. I dont feel hungry but that will probably kick in later! OH will probably bring home a pizza.

Ha ha.... Just do what I do, make OH go on the diet as well.

I have been told by my doctor to try to loose weight!

I have 4 stones to loose before March - yer right!!!

I just cannot lose the weight! I have been 14 stones now for the last 8 years with no fluctuation and in that time I have done slimming world, weight watchers, NHS obesity clinic and stumped all of them!

This time I am going it alone. I have bought myself a wii fit plus to try to make exercising 'fun' and I am going to be trying out a low carbohydrate diet which apparently is the only way to go for people with PCOS. I am stumped with breakfasts though! I cannot cook breakfast before I go to work and cereal is not really low carbohydrate!

My problem is I get bored easily at work. I should not moan but at the moment work is so slow I have very little to do to distract me from my rumbling tummy. So I get bored and head down to the canteen and get a chocolate bar. If I did not have to go to work I would be slim by now!!

So yes boredom eating chocolate and crisps, trying to eat as much as my husband and not exercising enough are my crimes against my body - just need to rectify them!!

So yes I do need to loose weight before having a baby - well that is the plan anyway!

If your sat at a desk all day why not get one of those mini exercise sets? like a mini bike, you cycle whilst your sat in your chair. Its just a pedal thing you use whilst seated. Id get one if I worked in an office. I work in a canteen and when its bored a sausage does find its way into my mouth! But not anymore, my amazing ultra slim diet growlmad is my life now. Mmmm.... cardboard meal bars and watery shakes

OH will probably bring home a pizza.

My husband is terrible for that. When he hears my diet options for dinner he will say 'hmmm do you mind if you have that and I get a domino's?' to which I always put the chicken back in the fridge and tuck into the pizza!

I have to make sure I don't hear what he is planning on eating until I have already eaten myself!

I did ask him if he'd do the diet with me, but he's such a man he couldnt do it! wouldnt even consider it

Yah Boo to your man about the diet lol.. My OH has no choice with me as I do most of the cooking, we are doing slimming world so probably a bit easier as he doesn't feel like its a diet. Although he has had quicker and better results than me........no fair lol.

My scales aren't really being true to my size, I think inches have been lost more than weight. I would really like to lose the min of another half stone before I get my but part of me keeps thinking I will get pregnant quite soon, not sure why I am feeling so positive....hope I am not setting myself up for a fall!
