Anybody who has weight to loose before starting ttc?

Hi Birchy yes, I am fairly back on plan now, but forgot all my indigestion tablets today so have used most of my syns on milk

Lily we all have bad weeks - are you back on plan this week?

Uh oh I was very naughty last night - I had a KFC!! Didn't get home until 9 and couldn't face starting to cook

I put 1.5lbs back on this week. To be honest I thought it would be much worse! I've just ordered a new cookery book which I saw at the weekend with amazing sounding recipes which are easily 'tweakable' to make the SW friendly. They all use greek yoghurt, so if I get the 0% stuff it should be pretty good, I'll let you know.

Banana and Birchy that's great news on your losses this week, I'm also trying to aim for the 2lbs a week

Have either of you tried any of the hifi bars? I got the salted caramel ones and they are amazing!

Thanks Birchy and well done you too!! Woohoo we've started!!

TBH when I was first weighed I was at the start of AF and I needed a wee....so most of the loss was probably fluid

banana well done!!! I'm so chuffed for you!!

I had 1.5lb of - I was a little disappointed as I did hold to get the 2lb off. oh well always next week and I did start cycling back to work again today

4lbs off woohoo

Me too Birchy. Good luck

weigh in today - I will update you later on how it goes!

Sights on the long game - will take a while to break these habit we have had for a while.

I am hoping for a 1lb loss but would be really happy with a 2lb loss tomorrow.

I'm currently eating imaginary chocolates (read on bbc during the week it works LOL)

Hi All

I will go back to SW tomorrow but I think it will be a gain/maintsin at best. I have been better yesterday and today and I am slowly erasing the bad habits so I am.goimg for the long haul.

Keep strong ladies!

I had a terrible night last night, DH went to the cinema and I couldn't find the energy to cook for just me, so spent the whole night in bed with the puppy eating a giant bag of crisps I found. I'll still weigh in tomorrow, but don't expect to lose this week.

So far today, I woke up far too late so no breakfast, a few cups of jasmine tea and have my feta couscous for lunch. I did a Tesco order last night so have lots of lovely fresh food coming this evening. Plus, I'm not supposed to drink on my new painkillers, so that should help in the enxt few weeks

how did everyone get on today? I did good but really hungry and struggling now

I had a bad weekend too, but today is a new start, and have some fruit with me at work, and a big tub of cous cous salad with feta cheese, so hopefully I can claw something back over the next 3 days. I always struggle when I am having a day when I can't really move, and munched through far too many bags of crisps.

Oh banana it is so hard!

I did stray today and yesterday - had BBQ and friends brought my favourite chocolates and today I didn't have lunch but crisps instead! I have also been logging it in myfitness pal which is find helps.

Do go back banana as even changing your eating a few days a week can help in the beginning and it will give you some motivation! Keep going banana x

This week has been a DISASTER. I have managed to cut out some snacks but other than that I've strayed back to the dark side...toast...cake...wine...cheese..arghhh! I am going to be super good from tomorrow and I WILL go back to SW on wednesday..but it aint gonna be pretty.....

Ooh sounds tasty banana. How did rest of day go? I managed to get through the day with 1/2 a syn. Have BBQ on sat so will use them all then!

Hunger starting to come on so off to bed I'm taking myself. Not being very good as don't have tomorrow lunch planned either - need to get better at this!

Gammon and vegetables so I should be full! Craving chocolate...must resist...

Hi damned I missed your post - are you just doing it yourself?

Oh Banana I know the feeling.

I ended up with a mug shot which I put chicken pieces into (would not recommend). Then had a kiwi, banana, hartleys sugar free jelly tub, an orange ... and I am STILL hungry! Thats more than enough to feed a small army! Im just about to rack out the strawberries, blueberries and rasberries! It is just not satisfying me like a sandwich and a packet of crisps :-( We can get through it though - its all about these life changes

What did you have for lunch Banana

I just had lunch and am still staaarving! Am hoping it's going to hit my tummy soon!! I need to get better prepared with 'free' snacks tomorrow. I didn't realise just how much I was eating until I started tracking it...no wonder I am 4 + stone overweight...I am a gannet! Stay strong ladies

so nearly 11am and so far I'm succeeding! hahaha

Breakfast - 2 poached eggs, 1 slice of bread (healthy extra)

11am snack - apple

Am stuck for lunch - will probably end up with baked potato.

Dinner will be Chinese chicken recipe - its so good if anyone wants it. Tastes really fresh. all about portion control as well. me and dh use to have a bag of rice each - now we are going with recommended portion sizes

SW went well thanks Birchy. I'm glad I went.

I just set an 'ultimate goal' which is 4 st 10lbs off....an interim goal would have been better. I like the BMI idea I think I'll do that too

Hi banana yehh we are sw buds - how did you get on tonight? I set my first target of getting my bmi under 30 which is 1 stone! (that's my first target in case I need ivf!) then from that I will move my target to getting my bmi under 25 which will be 1stone 10lbs! we can do this!!! although I just went to cinema and had my last splurge - I figure today doesn't count as I didn't do any other sw eating!

does anyone have any breakfast and lunch ideas for sw

Hi ladies can I join?
Hi Lily, Birchy

I thought I had 4 stone to lose...although I started SW tonight and I'm 10lbs heavier than my worst case guess so 4 stone 10lbs to lose...argh!

I feel better having faced up to it.

Good luck everyone!

Hi All

Mind if I join? Wanting to lose 2 and a half stone before starting ttc. I did loose a stone in the beginning of the year but put half back on on holiday drinking wine getting married in March next year so hoping to be my goal weight by then.
