Hi Lindsay & Laura, it does help to have buddies for weightloss & ttc. What kind of stuff are you both eating and drinking? Are you doing any exercise?
Im starting off the day with a homemade juice of fruit/veg.
Breakfast ideas:
Veg omlette (no cheese)
Porridge with banana or stewed apple
Lunch:
Baked potato & salad
Soup
Dinner:
Bean chilli
Lental dal
Veg fried rice
Fish (not battered) & veg
I try to snack on fruit & nuts.
I drink water, hot water, green tea & mint tea - so very little caffine & no fizzy pop.
I have had red wine this week (booo), and feel rubbish for that, so add wine aling with chocolate for my weaknesses.
I started gluten free a couple of months ago and although it was hard at the start Im enjoying it now - there is a link between gluten & infertility & miscarriage & when I read about it the symptoms really fitted with me. Ive been a vegetarian for years but started eating fish about 8 months again to help with fertility (chinese dr really wanted both me & dh to do this).
I find exercise hard & mostly im just getting out for walks, i know thats a good starting point but i know I also need to do a bit more.
For each of us I think we need to really look at what we are doing now in terms of food, drink & exercise and think of what we can realistically do to help with that weightloss. So for me - less choc & wine & more exercise, either walking more or back to the couch to 5k plan.
Good luck xx
