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 :)

Weight loss goal 6 stone 11lbs (95lbs )

Yes sounds sensible MrsG.

I am going to be very frustrated tomorrow if it remains the same again. Info SW, and don't use ANY syns, there's no way I can only have lost 3/4lb (three quartets, not three or four) in a week!

Another 2lbs off for me today. Pleased with that as it makes 9lbs since I started two weeks ago.

It has cheered me up a bit as the witch arrived yesterday (never sure if that helps or hinders weight loss!)

Right, down another 1.5lb from last week which makes -12.75lb in total.

I am annoyed that it has slowed down, so will be adjusting slightly. Grrr.

Although it's only been three weeks so prob should feel better about it.

honey you're doing amazingly well so don't put yourself down. I find 3 weeks is generally when I wobble so stick at it. I haven't lost any more since my mid week weigh so feeling a bit blergh. Also I've got laryngitis so all I want to do is eat ice cream to sooth my throat, luckily I haven't got any in freezer!

honey you're doing amazing woman! don't let it get you down. You have already lost more than is classed as "healthy" to lose, you are doing so well!

Don't worry, I'm not going to quit. Just a bit miffed. Thank you for your support.

Honey you are doing really well and I understand you are a bit disappointed it has been a slow week but your overall total is great in 3 weeks.

Thanks 21. I have adapted my little plaque to say how many weeks its been so I can keep calm when they don't move much.

Ta da! Its under the telly.

What does the plague say

Very motivational honey

Weighed today and have lost another lb :) I think it's preggy related as I've been eating some naughty stuff included chocolate and stuff from the hot counter yesterday but I think it's because I'm getting full really quick so I'm probably not eat as much as I normally would!
Now at -5 since the 2nd of Jan :) if I can keep losing 1lb a week from now to my due date I'll be a very happy, not high risk pregnancy and will be able to use the midwife lead unit :D

You ladies are all doing amazingly. I've not stepped on the scales since weigh in, so have no idea how I am doing. However, i've been really bad on the eating front (but much better on the excercise front, done 4 sessions of the 30 day shred, went for a 5k run and went back to football on sunday). Today I've got a salad sandwich and fruit for lunch so much healthier than recently. So gonna weigh in this weekend (and expecting gain but or static but hopefully not too much gain). Want to lose 5kg by March!

Hi ladies, can I join you for some solidarity?? I'm about to start ttc dc3 and had 2 st to lose to get back to my pre-pg weight before dc2 (2.5 to get back to my ideal). I started dieting on 5 Jan and so far I'm -9lbs so I'm pretty pleased with that but now in week three I'm starting to flag and need as much moral support as possible. I figure telling you all my goal will help keep me on the straight and narrow

Hi ladies, I'm joining you if that's okay? Haven't got loads to lose, about 6lb, but they are a very stubborn 6lb! I also need to desperately get fit before I get preggers, mu Mum beat me in a 5k 'race' recently!! I keep my IBS under control by eating loads of veg so my meals are pretty healthy, but I am a very bad snack fiend - no longer!! Joining the gym tomorrow. Planning to be really strict with myself and try to lose this in 3 weeks. Good luck ladies!!

Hello newbies! Welcome Takes. Hi pud, fellow shagger!

I am visiting with a relative in a hospital at the moment, so its whatever we can get at the shop for food? I got jacket and beans and bits from salad bar that weren't covered in mayonnaise. So pretty pleased. Had pasta and pesto for dinner at sisters house (who lives locally) so not doing too badly. Last time this relative was in hospital, I put back on the 3 and a half stone I had just lost, so trying too stay with it now!

:( stay with it honey we are all supporting you x

Ah that's tricky honey, it's really difficult to eat healthily on the go! Can you make a big batch of food at the weekend and portion it up to eat throughout the week? This is what I do with soup for my lunch. It saved me from 'accidentally' buying chips for lunch!

Hope your relative is better and out of hospital soon honey. Stay strong!

Very sorry to hear that honey hope your relative gets well soon. All you can do is try your best with the healthy eating at times like this.

I weighed in and stayed the same so still on -14. Quite happy with that this week has been tough.

Hello and welcome to newbies

Doing ok today. Weetabix and fruit, then sister provided homemade veg soup and crudites. Apparently for tea tonight is nachos so as long as i "flexi syn" the crisps and go easy on the cheese it should be ok.

Going home this evening so hopefully all told i will be alright.

Bro is so much better. Hopefully discharged in next few days. :-)

good news!

Well done 21 and good news honey!

Hi.

honey i think you're doing great, I know it can be stressful and difficult to keep to a diet when visiting sick relatives in hospital.

21 Well done.

I've managed to lose 4lbs this week so far (now 16st 8lbs). But this is mainly because i've been unwell. finally popped to the docs this morning and have been diagnosed with tonsillitis and am now on a 10 day course of antibiotics. Great!
