TTC & trying to loose weight club anyone?

[MrsKitty]

So though I tell myself my weight is not an issue with my ttc as my cycles are fine etc, I am concerned that when I go to my GP I will be fobbed off with go away and lose some weight. So today the diet starts and the scales shocked me somewhat I need to loose 43 lbs to reach my goal. I do not want to get pregnant and have this extra weight to carry and to lose!

This is a fab idea!! I have been losing since last year but still have some to go. Also waiting for another caudal epidural in my spine for my sciatica before I can properly start TTC again but I wanna join your weight loss club if that's ok? Caudal Epi should be in the next few weeks.

I just need to post this reply to see my signature then I can see how many lbs I have left to lose as it's on my ticker.... brb.

EDIT: 42lbs left to go

Yay! We have a club! I will add you to the list. We have about the same to lose, what are you doing to lose? I think I am going to use fitness pal as its free lol, though I was thinking about the 2 days on 5 days off thing but not sure if this is healthy when ttc so need to find out. Good luck for your caudal epidural, keep us updated x

Welcome, I will add you to the list! I will put no goal and add your losses but if you decide to set a little goal at first let me know. I tried slimmers world and struggled, I still have the stuff some where may give it another go. x

 

[MrsKitty]

So three in our little club so far! It is always easier when you do not feel like you are doing something on your own don't you think? Also it is good to have something else to focus on, ttc really takes over you. Well day one is going okay for me, I have even managed a wee walk out! Burned 130 calories according to the app I just installed It is called runtastic but I do not think it will see much running lol.

CD8 for me so hope to burn some calories in a more way over next week

Keep me updated with your progress and tips ladies

I did the Cambridge Diet last year and lost 2 and a half stone in the first couple of months then moved onto Weight Watchers to continue losing at a slower rate (and to make sure I didn't put any weight back on). Now lost 4 stone since I started last year but REALLLLLLY want to lose more so that I am classed as 'ok' on a BMI chart. Haha

4 stone, that's amazing! Well done Weightwatchers has always been good for me in the past but I struggled with the new one, but it is a healthy way to lose and not counting veggies and fruit is great. I do not know much abouth Cambridge diet I am going to goole it lol. Yeah the BMI is a big concern for me as you know when you go to GP re ttc it will be considered. Three stone and I will be in the okay bit. I do not have the desire to be super skinny like I did when I was younger, I want to a healthy and happy Mummy to be that's all. x

Thanks hunni

Yeah, I'll NEVER be skinny. I just don't think my hips will allow it! Haha. Plus I have a horse so have big muscles in my calves so my lower legs always look big

Cambridge Diet is bloody hard work but it is great to kick start weight loss. But sooooo, sooo hard.

Hey ladies I would like to join as well. I have currently lost 8 lbs and am looking to lose about 50 more. I am going to count carbs as I am also diabetic and that seems to be the only way I lose.weight. I am going to check put Atkins or South Beach today and possibly try one of those.

Hi and welcome! Well done on your loss so far I will add you to the list. Low carb works well for a lot of people. Good luck, look forward to your updates. Hopefully we will see a few next to our weight losses too x

 

[Bambina]

I would love to join, i really need to lose alot of weight, my first goal is 50lbs but i could really do with losing about 75 in the end. Im back at the Fertility clinic in August and i need to make a dent into it.

I'm going to keep track of what i eat on My Fitness Pal, Will be cutting out snack food and coffee etc. Also will be exercise for about 30 minutes a day once i get going.

Welcome! Like me Fitness Pal and 30 minutes a day exercise is my aim. I need to cut back on my tea drinking, it all adds up. We just have to think about how this is going to help us in our ttc goal and support each other when it gets tough. I will add you to the list with your first Goal of 50 lbs Bambina x

 

[Bambina]

Thank you, aye tea drinking is a habit for me. I'm thinking about replacing it with flavoured water for a start then switch to normal

 

[MrsKitty]

Having just poured myself a cuppa I am thinking I will cut it right down and like you have water and maybe herbal teas. I have read that Green tea is good for you ttc.

I am not sure where I went wrong with SW :/ I was advised to do green as I do not eat meat or fish but people doing the new version were losing loads! I must look for my pack. You sound like you have really turned a corner, like you say it is about lifestyle change. x

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Me me me me! :wave:

I am currently in my second TTC cycle but I really want to lose some weight before I get knocked up so I won't be wondering "Is this is my regular belly or a baby bump??"!

Ideally I'd like to lose 20 lbs but that's my ultimate goal, I would just be happy with 10 but I have ZERO motivation and I love to drink and eat. I'm on MFP when I actually get around to logging my food. Username:kittyfeliz if any of you ladies are there.
