Well i am going to be super strict on my diet plan(slimming world) as i have to get my bmi down to 30 to be accepted for IVF on the nhs, so losing weight has never been more important than now.

As losing weight due to fertility issues can be so much harder as a lot of us will be comfort eaters due to the emotional side of our lives, i thought a thread to offer support and encouragement would be a good idea

We can help eachother reach that ultimate goal of being a mother and have a laugh along the way.

If you want to join this thread, please add your name, age and situation(ie i am having ivf, or i am trying to reduce symptoms of pcos etc), along with what diet plan u will be following and we will have our 1st weigh in on mon 10th Jan, as this gives us chance to lose a few lb that we have probs gained over xmas before getting our starting weight.

I will update here every monday/tuesday. I will be following the sw plan but not attending meetings and i will use the wii fit daily

Good luck ladies! we can do it

I was on clomid yrs ago with my ex cos i had pcos. my bmi was waay above 30 then tho... they must of changed the criteria xxx

 

[Vesta]

Hi ladies! Mind if I join you?

I'm Vesta, and I'm 25. I've been TTC for over 10 months but it's just not happened for us. I realise it's more then likely I'll be hitting the 12 month mark next year before I get my BFP. I know the first thing the doctor will say to me is to get my BMI below 30. So I'm starting the Celebrity Slim diet tomorrow.

 

[Pinkee]

I see a lot of gals have the wii fit, does anyone have a kinect? I got one for Christmas, hoping to buy zumba soon

 

[sugarlove]

Hi girls I need to get my bmi to under 30 to get clomid. Been ttc for over 13 months now, with 1 mc.

I've actually started rosemary conley today and I'm fecking starving already

 

[africaqueen]

Welcome Vesta and Sugarlove
