Losing weight whilst TTC-ing. Diet thread if anyone fancies joining me :)

[spamanderson]

Well as the title says :) I've chosen the worst time to get my act together and start my diet (again!!) I'm well overweight, in fact in classed as obese so I need to lose a tonne of weight. I know I need to be a healthy weight to conceive so there isn't much more of a motivator than the hope if a BFP :) I'm just counting calories until Christmas Eve (when we have our traditional Xmas eve meal of good old McDonalds!) and then back on track on the 27th when I will be returning to Slimming World.
If anyone fancies joining me, or even just to give me a kick up the arse, feel free :)

Evening ladies

Felt crap all day but done wonders for diet! Practically can't wait to weigh in on fri now!

Weighed in today. Hope I got the right day?

-8

Really pleased but I have been on for 8 days now, started 31st

Hi popopearl sorry about the mc. I'm found myself so motivated since joining this thread so hopefully will be the same for you.

pocopearl welcome. Hope 2015 is your year.

-5 here :-D really happy!

Well done to everyone. Whatever the result you're all doing brilliantly. Xx

Hi all and welcome to the new joiners,
I have lost 2 pounds since the NYD weigh-in. I'm very glad but wish it was coming off more quickly in this initial stage given that I gained a few pounds at Christmas and thought it might all be the famous 'water weight'...but then, I haven't been as strict as I was planning to.
Really interested to hear that some of you are doing the 5:2. My DH is doing that but I thought it might mess with my hormones and that it wasn't ideal for TCC. All anecdotal though - has anyone found anything detailed about it? Maybe one day of fasting at a time is too little to put you into "starvation mode". Is anyone 'windowing' their food to eat between particular times (e.g. 12-8pm?) which I thought might be a less intense version?
My news is that I had a load of blood tests done last week to find out why AF hasn't come back since stopping the pill in July. Turns out 'everything' is normal (which is unexpected given my previous diagnosis of PCOS) except for my prolactin which is massively raised. I see the GP next week and then there'll refer me to someone (endocrinologist? not sure). Really not sure what that means for my overall health or TCC. :( Trying not to google too much but I've read some semi-encouraging stuff on these forums.
Hope you all have lovely days.

Welcome poco. Sorry about mc. We're all in this together so come on in.

Well done 21! That's fantastic! And Bean and Mindful... Everyone is doing so well! Yay!

We can go the distance!

Morning everyone! I'm still at 0, but I didn't start properly until Monday 5th, so am not too disappointed. Diet is going well, especially as DH in on board too after having a nasty shock when he got on the scales! Well done to all those who've lost weight. Let's keep this going!

Well done beanbag and 21
Weigh in today at -4 lbs :D I'm chuffed with as I only started on the 2nd :) not to mention I bloated and puffy as hell already. This is going to be a loooong 9 months :)
4lbs down, 92lbs to go!

honey There's 1 lady I know in the area who I could speak to but it's up to the customer who they go to :( I think all I can do is refund their deposit and maybe offer to advertise on my page for another cake maker for her? Grrr, got someone requesting a date 2 days before my due date... Trying to come up with a reason I can't do their date! I suppose I'll have to be 'fully booked'.... God I hate turning business away! Business income is not going to be good this tax year! Being employed is do much easier :/

Well done spam.

I still don't have scales but going to inlaws later that do

I hear you Spam, I'm self employed too. Annoying isn't it? And huge congratulations on your loss!

Poco I'm so sorry for your loss.

Well done to everyone who's weighed in! I had a sneaky weigh, as not due to do it til Monday, and af is due, but I'm 4lb down. All water and the food that was in my system I suppose but yay anyway.

-1lb a little disappointing although I did get a BFP yesterday

Well done to the losses achieved!

-6 for me!!

Congratulations itssangria!

Congratulations Sangria!

And wowee Kez, well done!

Congratulations sangria brilliant news!!!

Yippee Congrats itsangri Do you know what your EDD is?
I know honey I love being self employed as no-one can tell me how to dress and I don't hae to ask permission for piercings etc BUT I am going to miss having SMP :( I'm hoping to take about 6 months off or with only 1 or 2 choice orders a month once I feel up to it but that's going to be tough on the old bank account!

Hi spam 13/09/2015

Congrats Sangria fab news!

Congrats sangria!!!
Slimming world is safe to follow while pregnant if you wanted to try it

Spam we do still get something, as long as you pay NI contributions in the 16 weeks leading up to mat leave. But yes, not as much. I plan on being a SAHM so going to have to get used to being poor. Trying to save as much of my salary as possible at the moment.

Well done to everyone on their losses at weigh in today and congrats sangria on your bfp.

Congratulations Sangria!

Oooh I didn't know that honey! I pay NI but am eligible not too as my earnings are low. Got job I didn't apply to not pay then! Do you know how amounts are calculated?

Thank you ladies. Hope you don't mind me staying for weigh in's.

Hopefully more of you will join me
