slimming world and ttc #1

[sarah1391]

Hi...just looking for some advice really.

I've started following the slimming world plan but I also want to conceive soon so I've came off the pill. In the past few years I've put on over 3 stone so really wanting to lose it and I know I've been eating all the wrong things (biscuits, takeaways, pizza...).

So now I've started eating all the right things as per slimming world guidelines so I know I will lose weight. Problem is, is it actually ok to lose weight whilst ttc or in the early stages of pregnancy?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks :)

Yes if done safely with a balanced diet

I carried on with slimming world while I was pregnant as its a healthy diet just had to add more syns towards the 3rd trimester

Thanks fraggle :) i was just worried about it with losing weight but it is just healthy eating so was sure it wouldnt be too bad! (i still eat a few biscuits though haha)

Are you going to try a class or do it on your own?

I started going to a class but the times aren't great for me so going to do it on my own :) lost 4 pounds in my first week but then 2nd week didnt go so well as was out for a meal etc so trying to stick to it again now!

I was similar lost 6.5 in 1st week then 2lb the next 3 but just 1/2 lb this week which was disappointed in as I'd been really strict even though I was very tempted by a goats cheese pizza at soft play I resisted and had a salad, wish I'd had the pizza now lol

The pizza sounds lovely! Well done on ur weight loss :) my 2nd week i put on 1/2 lb so wasnt very happy haha dont think the biscuits i had helped much! The next few weeks i have nothing planned to salads for me...

Best of luck to you! Keep at it, SW is a great diet. We were ttc for quite some time. I lost 2 1/2 stone on SW and fell pregnant. I completely credit it to my weight loss, whether it was health reasons, or a bit of mind over matter in the sense I had more self confidence... Best thing i ever did. You can do this! xxx
