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

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 :)

Well done sangriawhat brilliant news. Congratulations!

My first weigh in today since going back to exercise and the 5:2 on Monday and have lost just shy of 3lb. I'll take that. Now just have to stay focused over the weekend.

Hello all! Sorry for the long story but I am a little upset and over whelmed! After my initial Keeness a while back I decided to renovate the house to distract myself - no idea where I put the scales ok under the stairs but hard to dig out so not weighing .

I actually got my ass to the gp and told her how sw didn't seem to work despite really trying and , only two af since aug, my hair is falling out in clumps ( hairdresser even commented) and I am exhausted and my skin is so bad my facial lady turned me away until I saw my dr!

Shocked as My gp was so nice! Never met her before and despite only ttc since aug when I came off the pilll she wanted to investigate - am 31. So blood test now booked in for thyroid, pcos, hormones and vit d and anaemia . Wow.

And I was told caffeine is terrible for ttc and to sleep more. And cut animal red protein and carbs a bit. Oh and sugar. Am sitting here in shock drinking tea oh and bmi was 27. She said being active was far more important than bmi for those of you chatting about it.

Goodness. Well at least the ball is rolling.

I am utterly so motivated and impressed with the weight lost and Maintained ladies - just after xmas too!!!

Once I get my scales I will be a dedicated girl to this thread!!

Woop!

I've been so good, no treats during the last week, everything has been a 'free' food on SW etc but today I am saying NO to baked beans and cucumber sticks. Tonight for my dinner, I shall be eating a mahoosive plate of chips drowning in vinegar. I'm sure I will feel incredibly guilty about it afterwards but I really want them!

Well done toots for getting the ball rolling.

Spam I've always believed that you can have one day out of 7 for a treat. Whether it's a slice of cake with coffee or a sneaky take away. As long as you are strict the other 6.

Thanks sangria I'm thinking if I do at least 5 strict days a week, I can have some treats at the weekend. I figured if I can aim for 1lb loss a week for the next 35 weeks when dc3 is due, I will have made a good start on getting to goal. But tbh as long as I don't get any heavier than I am right now, I'll be pretty happy :)

That's true spam the baby needs a day and you need one too lol

I had a large glass of red for my treat tonight really enjoyed it and managed to stop at one Wine

honeysucklejasmine · 09/01/2015 20:33

I bought a pack of mikado today. 1/2 syn each, about 30 in a pack. They are my treat.

I can't have days off. I end up having another, then another, then it may as well be a week off right?, etc. I have no willpower to resume. Smile

bluewisteria · 09/01/2015 21:05

Spam do you make SW chips? Totally delish and free!

I'm the same honey one day off and it all goes to pot

spamanderson · 09/01/2015 21:18

I have done blue. DH and the dds love them but they had to be unhealthy chips today, I near enough started chewing on DH, no way I could've waited for them to be prepared and cooked, I would have passed out from hunger ok not likely but you get the idea

Hello, please can I join you? I lost over two stone after the birth of dd at the end of 2012 but a stone has crept back on and I want to lose it now! First month ttc #2 after a mc at the start of December at 11 weeks pg.

I'm trying to stick to around 1500 kcal per day to lose weight gradually and healthily and obviously not interfere with ovulation. Doing plenty if exercise as I cycle everywhere including to work 3 days a week. Does that sounds sensible overall? Really don't want to harm chances of conception.

Wanted to weigh myself this morning but scales aren't working so will get a new battery this week. This time last week I was just under 11 stone. Going to have a read back now!Smile

CoffeeTwo · 10/01/2015 13:58

Hello, all. Congrats on the weight loss so far!

I weighed in at SW today and lost 4lbs, feeling good :) it makes me chuckle being around people who are wanting to be skinny for summer and here's me losing weight in the hopes of a round belly for summer Grin

Lauraqc · 10/01/2015 14:59

Couldn't check in yest but 1 3/4 lbs lost last week! No exercise either as felt crap all week so I'm quite pleased about that! Glad lots of you have had a good week too!

honeysucklejasmine · 10/01/2015 21:04

Hi Guy, so sorry for your loss. Flowers

Well done on the loss ladies!

kezaroo · 10/01/2015 21:08

I had a pizza last night ... With coleslaw Shock

Not had my full calorie goal today though to over-ride it!

Poochieblue · 10/01/2015 21:41

it will even out eventually if you compensate kez I always save a few syns for a good treat/few vodkas most weeks, as long as I don't go over the weekly allowance the weight still comes off and I don't feel deprived!
Day 2 on the new SP SW plan. going well but sooooo glad it can only be done for a week at a time! will be glad to get a few EE days in there next week! x

honeysucklejasmine · 11/01/2015 08:44

What's the SP plan Poochie?

Don't worry Kez, just cut back another day.

My old sw consultant used to say "you wouldn't grow out the whole bouquet over one dead flower" whichi like.
