Trying to lose weight before conception

[FreckleBee]

I really need to lose some weight before we TTC in around 8 weeks time. I don't want to crash diet but I would like to be closer to a healthier BMI by time we conceive, mainly for health benefits but yes a little because I'm terrified of adding more weight on and not losing it after baby born.
Anyone manage to lose weight pre conception?

I did, I went back down to a size 8 and then did it again after having my son. My advice - slimming world. It worked really well for me and I could eat pretty much what I wanted within reason :) healthier eating is really all it is, if you can get someone to go with you it might help(I was in competition with my mum so I was trying really hard so I'd lose more lol). You keep a food diary which was extremely helpful because to start off with I could see where I was going wrong and correct it (handful of chips off my partners plate when he weren't looking hah on top of my normal food amount). If you go to the group too it's a great way to make friends and you have a chance to win the fruit bowl if you lose the most that week!. It's very inspirational as well, and you have help all along the way. Hope that's of some help. :) good luck
