is it ok to lose weight whilst ttc?

[sarah1391]

Hi everyone, just looking for some advice really.

I've started following the slimming world plan but I also want to conceive soon so I've came off the pill. In the past few years I've put on over 3 stone so really wanting to lose it and I know I've been eating all the wrong things (biscuits, takeaways, pizza...).

So now I've started eating all the right things as per slimming world guidelines so I know I will lose weight. Problem is, is it actually ok to lose weight whilst ttc or in the early stages of pregnancy?

Thanks!

Yes, absolutely fine and it is even recommended if you need to lose quite a bit.

Thanks :) the weight has just seemed to creep on (for some reason I thought whatever DP eats, I can eat...not the case!) however I'm about a size 14, sometimes 12 on the top so by no means 'obese' although could do with losing a few stone!
