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 )

Wow MrsDee! Congrats on your amazing weight loss and your bfp Chocolate is definitely my biggest downfall, but fortunately I don't really drink a lot of fizzy drinks or alcohol (maybe one bottle of fruity cider on a Friday and Saturday night). Those will definitely be the first things to go! Think my biggest problem apart from lack of opportunity to exercise, is eating too late at night. By the time DH is home, and DD is bathed and in bed, we eat dinner at gone 8pm! Not really sure what to do about that though!

Can I join?? Been ttc for nearly 2 years but am seriously overweight :-/ ideally want to lose around 6 stone!! Have joined slimming world and have lost a stone in 3 weeks! Am enjoying it at the moment and am joining the gym in the new year! Am currently undergoing tests and bloods to test for polycystic ovaries!

Well done nannyGR sounds like your doing amazingly well and should give me some advice pls.

I tired sw a few years ago, only lost 1/2 pound in 3 wks despite following it to the letter. Managed to lose weight on my own after that. Got to my goal weight. Started ttc with ds put on 2 stone. Lost 10lb before conceiving, lost baby weight plus more was only 8lb off goal weight. Now I've started ttc again my weight has rocketed back up. Now stone and half off goal weight know it's the stress and heart ache. Also think I might have temporally been in a bit of a depressive cloud for bout the last 3 or so months. Feeling much brighter now. So need to get my motivation back shred this weight and get my BFP. Need a new year and new start, new me and maybe just maybe a new baby.

Chem pregnancy this morning BFN, so will be clambering aboard this bus big time in New Year!

Sorry to hear that blue, how do you know was a chemical pregnancy never came across that term before I started reading these threads

It was positive on a test, and now a negative, so basically an embryo that attached briefly, and for whatever reason didn't take. If your period arrives within 5 days of when it was due it is a chemical preg. If after 5 days then classified as a mc.

Hello ladies :)
DH brought selection boxes home :( if there's chocolate on the house I just have to eat it. I can resist anything but chocolate :( it's my big downfall. Looking forward to getting christmas out of the way so I can get the bad food out of my mind. I have been better this year, only 1 Xmas pud bought in ( I normally buy a couple of small ones to have on days after Christmas) no sweets or chocolate that I like bought in for the kids (that way I won't bloomin pinch any!) no biscuits bought and only a couple of cheeses for cheese and biscuits. I have bought a few bits in as we're doing a buffet lunch on Boxing Day for family so once all the leftovers are gone, it's diet time :) full blown diet should commence 27th/28th December :) BFP due 29th-4th Jan depending on this months cycle :)
Nanny pretty much the same as me, but I have 6 stone 11 to lose :/
Don't know how I let myself get like this, I really don't :(

Would love to get in on this pretty please, though I have to admit my starting point will be after new year.

A few years ago, I lost 5 stone with slimming world, but have steadily put about 3 1/2 back on since then. We are on cycle 5 ttc now, and apart from the fact that I feel like a blimp, I'm hoping that losing some weight will help us out. I also got engaged a week ago, and we are planning our wedding for summer 2016 so even if we aren't lucky enough to get a bfp by then, I need to sshiftthe excess baggage so I can go wedding dress shopping without feeling like the stay puffed marshmallow man sometime in the future

Hi ladies can I join. Blue pointed me in the direction of this thread.

I am ttc#4. Af arrived today so next month will be cycle 3.

I had ds3 19months ago and still have about two stone to lose to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. I'm not going to be good over Christmas I'm going to indulge in a few naughty foods and definitely make the most of the alcohol now that af has arrived. I will start my weight loss journey as soon as Christmas is over.

I'm with you! Need to shed 3 stone. Perfect timing like you. I'm going to wait until 28th Dec, all festivities will be over for me then.

Me and OH both doing Slimming World.

It's great so many of us are doing this together, welcome ladies!! Great to see you Beautician, thanks for all your lovely words.
Seems like lots of us do Slimming World too.

I'm in! aiming for 1.5 stone whilst ttc. Find it especially hard in winter time and really need to get my act together diet/fitness wise. When i've dieted before I found evening carb cutting to be fairly effective so may try that again!

Am in!!

I got married 14 months ago, and enjoyed it too much, 2 stone heavier - TTC since Aug but this month was my first Ov i think ( thought itwas last month know better now) so dpo 2 and already reaching for the food in my TWW stress.

I need to lose weight as border line PCOS and have a bad back, so if i do get PG then i need to be fit so it dones hurt.

I joined SW a few months ago but i am not diciplined but i find a 40 hour week at work and XMas, means i have no control at all.

AM about to go for a quick walk to M&S for a lunch salad, MUST stay away frmo the pesto pasta!

bought Scales just now, as i kid myself about how much i do weigh...

FX everyone.

Yes please! I need to lose about 7 stone to be the average weight for my height. I have !managed to ignore it for hears because I have curves in all the right places but it does occur to me that the curves are simply too big!

Had a mc in sept and it also occurs to me that should I enquire with a Dr for help, the firs thing they will say is "alright, fatty, what do you think is the problem?!" Whilst glaring.

So yes please! I need the support to not cave!

I have done sw in the past (lost 3.5 stone) but turned to food for comfort after traumatic family event and its all gone on again, and brought some friends home too.

I can to to group as it clashes with an existing commitment but would be happy to do online weigh ins with you lovely ladies. Should we have a post Christmas "start weight" weigh in an then set a weekly time? (Sorry if that's too controlling for some... I have no willpower and need to be held to account.)

Great idea honey

Shall we say Monday 5th or do people want Thurs 1st... which is easier to weigh in on going frward a Mon or Thurs ( or any other day!)

I'd prefer Monday as then you have a whole new week to change/continue. I think the lure of a weekend after a potentially bad week might be too strong. (remember, no willpower)

I like to be able to relax a little on the weekends and hate Monday weigh ins. I would prefer a Thursday or Friday. I need to get a battery for my scale.Desperate to know what I weigh. Think I may have lost some this week as I had a tummy bug and I've hardly eaten a thing with all the Christmas stress

Can I join in preparation for TTC? I'm getting married in August and then will hopefully be able to start! Already lost 2 stone (will be 1 1/2 stone lost by the time Christmas is over) and so ready to start again in Jan! All on Slimming World too!

Weigh-ins are a great idea Did something similar with my mum and sister before other sister's wedding earlier this year, and it really helps me to focus. Can do any day.

If anyone doesn't want to put in their weight, they could just post the amount the've lost that week, and keep their running total private?

Good idea, be honest peeps there is no shame on here. Only friendly advice.

I'm open to any day. I'm starting diet on 28th.

So any day week beginning the 5th to allow a def.

To allow a difference even

Great idea about not putting the weight - sw style it is all about the slow and steady 1lb decrease.

So everyone starts on 0lb and then a week later .... -/+ lb .

So shall we compromise on whether a mon or a wed?

A Tuesday?

Ha ha i don't mind Thursday if other people want it. But yes, if we say we are all 0lb now, we can all have a -xlbs on the wb 5th.

Someone just posted a link to my Facebook feed for egg muffins. Essentially eggs and veg/lean meat baked on muffin tins. I really struggle with breakfast on sw so they would be great for me. Keep in the fridge or freezer too so could do a weekly batch and just microwave as and when.

I also have all ingredients for sw ketchup but never bothered to make it. Now is the time!

Does anyone else have any weak points? addicted to toast
