Anybody who has weight to loose before starting ttc?

[lexb14]

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.....

Oh banana it is so hard!

I did stray today and yesterday - had BBQ and friends brought my favourite chocolates and today I didn't have lunch but crisps instead! I have also been logging it in myfitness pal which is find helps.

Do go back banana as even changing your eating a few days a week can help in the beginning and it will give you some motivation! Keep going banana x

I had a bad weekend too, but today is a new start, and have some fruit with me at work, and a big tub of cous cous salad with feta cheese, so hopefully I can claw something back over the next 3 days. I always struggle when I am having a day when I can't really move, and munched through far too many bags of crisps.

how did everyone get on today? I did good but really hungry and struggling now

I had a terrible night last night, DH went to the cinema and I couldn't find the energy to cook for just me, so spent the whole night in bed with the puppy eating a giant bag of crisps I found. I'll still weigh in tomorrow, but don't expect to lose this week.

So far today, I woke up far too late so no breakfast, a few cups of jasmine tea and have my feta couscous for lunch. I did a Tesco order last night so have lots of lovely fresh food coming this evening. Plus, I'm not supposed to drink on my new painkillers, so that should help in the enxt few weeks

Hi All

I will go back to SW tomorrow but I think it will be a gain/maintsin at best. I have been better yesterday and today and I am slowly erasing the bad habits so I am.goimg for the long haul.

Keep strong ladies!

Sights on the long game - will take a while to break these habit we have had for a while.

I am hoping for a 1lb loss but would be really happy with a 2lb loss tomorrow.

I'm currently eating imaginary chocolates (read on bbc during the week it works LOL)

weigh in today - I will update you later on how it goes!

Me too Birchy. Good luck

4lbs off woohoo

banana well done!!! I'm so chuffed for you!!

I had 1.5lb of - I was a little disappointed as I did hold to get the 2lb off. oh well always next week and I did start cycling back to work again today

Thanks Birchy and well done you too!! Woohoo we've started!!

TBH when I was first weighed I was at the start of AF and I needed a wee....so most of the loss was probably fluid

I put 1.5lbs back on this week. To be honest I thought it would be much worse! I've just ordered a new cookery book which I saw at the weekend with amazing sounding recipes which are easily 'tweakable' to make the SW friendly. They all use greek yoghurt, so if I get the 0% stuff it should be pretty good, I'll let you know.

Banana and Birchy that's great news on your losses this week, I'm also trying to aim for the 2lbs a week

Have either of you tried any of the hifi bars? I got the salted caramel ones and they are amazing!

Lily we all have bad weeks - are you back on plan this week?

Uh oh I was very naughty last night - I had a KFC!! Didn't get home until 9 and couldn't face starting to cook

Hi Birchy yes, I am fairly back on plan now, but forgot all my indigestion tablets today so have used most of my syns on milk
