Hi
So this is quite exciting as we have decided to ttc number 2 (number 1 for us) !! I have one dd who is 6 and my partner has one step son who is 15 so this would be our first together.
First though we both want to loose a stone..... anyone in a similar position who wants to buddy up?
I'm just trying to have a home made fruit and coconut milk smoothie for breakfast, salad for lunch, and healthy meat/fish and veg for dinner.....

I am aiming to lose 2-3st while ttc but I should probably be looking at 4-5st for a good bmi Sad. I joined ww last Wednesday and my first weigh in is tomorrow. Started the week off well but have had a few wobbles so am a bit worried I won't have lost and might even have put on Confused

I had a manic day at work so didn't get lunch, but my assistant bought me a chocolate bar and I couldn't turn it down as it was really sweet of her.
Otherwise, I had carbonara, but we make it just with egg rather then cream or anything like that, So fairly healthy and all my fruit.
Right now I'm tucked up in bed, with my puppy feeling fairly virtuous

I have to confess I had a sneaky bar of chocolate, but did compensate with two apples and a peach! I asked DH to pick up some fruit on his way home and he was an absolute star and got me a huge selection.

I find that as well Lexb14, think this time I am going to try and keep tabs on caloriesto try and get a better control on things

I've found slimming world good to start with but I'm not sure its great as it seems to be about eating as much as you want and I am afraid that I take that to the limit and end up stuffing my face!
Day 2 of smoothies and salad and actually feel better already :)
lillygirl88 I actually need to loose more to be in my healthy bmi range but hoping that I will want to stick to healthier foods like you say!
I had a thing for Oranges with my first dd!

I'm always hungry on weight watchers x

lilygirl81 · 20/07/2015 23:04

Sounds good to me Beautician, will be nice to have someone at the same stage.
I didn't get on too well with weight watchers, but slimming world has suited me before, with the bonus of being ok while pregnant

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 20/07/2015 22:22

I thought you couldn't do ww when pregnant that's why I've gone for slimming world as I know you definitely can with them.

Lily we can support each other Smileand swap recipes

My DP is actually the one in our relationship who needs to lose weight :) he managed 7lb in week one just by eating more healthily and cutting down on booze. The new healthy diet must be doing me some good too!

Would really recommend WW as a diet plan though, they even accommodate you when you're pregnant. I lost four stone with WW and never really felt like I was on a diet Smile

lilygirl81 · 20/07/2015 21:03

I'm joining slimming world on Wednesday too Beautician!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 20/07/2015 18:27

I need to lose about a stone and a half. I've been ttc for 10 months. I'm joining slimming world on Wednesday

lilygirl81 · 20/07/2015 18:09

Hi

I desperately need to lose weight, but we have decided to ttc anyway. Since we made that decision, I have noticed I am leaning towards healthier food. I actually need to lose about 4 stone, so fingers crossed I can get some of that off quickly as every little helps I think.
