TTC with Slimming World - any buddies?

[Fatladyslim]

Hey!

I am about 8 stone overweight following pregnancy and lockdown. I really want to start ttc again but know I won't get pg as this weight so am starting SW to get some weight off and plan to continue through my pregnancy, if I am lucky enough to conceive again.

Anyone with me? Weekly weigh-ins and general support?

I'll start:

SW - 286 lbs
Gw - 140 lbs
Weight Lost this week - 2lbs
Weight Lost so far - 2 lbs

Me. I'm losing weight for fertility treatment.

SW 236.5
CW 210.5
GW 166 (mini goal for Clomid is 194)

Weight loss so far 26lb. I weigh on Saturdays. Are you going to a group or doing it online?

Wow soapychoc that's amazing weight loss so far! Well done!

I weigh on Mondays, doing it via a zoom group, how about you?

Have you got any tricks to keep you motivated? I always find looking at the whole piece a bit overwhelming, think I will split up into blocks of 10 with a mini reward for each block completed.

Thank you. I have been going to group when they are open and then via Zoom when they aren't. I agree that looking at the total amount to lose can be overwhelming so I try to just focus on the week ahead. And sometimes if I am struggling just the day ahead of me.

I also look at the Slimming World tags on Instagram a few times a week for ideas and inspiration.

It is hard to keep it up and some weeks are better than others. What are your favourite meals so far?
I love chilli, pizza topped chicken and cheesy chicken risotto.

I haven't tried that pizza topped chicken yet but it looks amazing!!

My go to is pea risotto 😂 I am a bit addicted, have made it twice this week! I also like peppers, onion and corgette with chilli and cous cous and meatballs

I love instagram! There are so many recipes on there which look amazing.

Doing it for fertility is a huge reward to look forward too but sometimes I feel its all so massive so I might add some haircuts and nail bar trips in too 🙈

Oh yes definitely add some nice haircuts and nail bars etc in to keep you motivated. How have you been getting on this week?
I'm on annual leave today so have got a stew in the slow cooker and am off for a walk with a friend later.

I'm also TTC with Baby 1. I'm about 3.5stone too heavy. I've been really bad about my eating so getting back to group will be great. Getting my actifryer and slow cooker out again!
