Ok so what would YOU do if you were me

I would keep TTC.
I play (played) netball and loved it too, so I had thoughts of waiting to coincide with the season. In the end, I got pg after a cycle starting at the end of April and played the whole season anyway. The last game was when I was about 4 months and I felt fine.

Because you just don't know how long it will take TTC, I think you should just keep trying, but continue life as you would if you werent e.g play netball and work on your weight.

Good luck

I'd just TTC.

You could still play netball while preggers (to a certain point). And you can still try and loose weight in the mean time.

I also would keep TTC, I'm on the same mission to lose a bit of weight but if I had put off TTC I still wouldn't be trying now, which is 10 mths since we started, so yeah I'd definately keep TTC, ya never know how long it's gonna take unfortunately

Good luck!!!

If it were me I'd keep TTC and work on my weight while ttc.

Your friend will definitely understand if you're not there playing. You can always yell from the sidelines!!

And good on you for losing weight already. That's great.

If it was me- i would TTC, because you never know when it will happen at all.
Good on you for losing weight already

Thats the whole thing - Im not really losing anymore weight at the moment! Ive kind of given up to be honest! Which is bad I know!

BooBoo, I agree with the majority, keep ttc because you never know what will happen or how long things will take.

As to your weight, it's great that you have lost some already, sad that you've given up. I would not recommend for you to take any sort of drugs to help you loose weight faster as they are not a sustainable way of weight loss. Weight loss really is a mind game, one way to start is to not think about weight loss and focus on fitness. You want to build fitness, strength and muscle not simply loose weight. The fastest way for you to tone up and shed kilos is to do weight training, the more you work your muscles the more your body has to work to repair them, and thus it burns up calories to do this, this is when you really start to see a difference with your body. You will feel fitter, stronger and have more energy, your body will really start to look and feel better. Diet is essential, but only a diet that is sustainable. Fad diets don't work and when you finish them you always put the weight back on and then some. Start keeping a food diary for a week, note down everything you eat and drink, and I mean everything, at the end of the week go through the diary and review what you have eaten and then see where you can make some changes, substitute a handful of mixed nuts for the mars bar or buy only bit size ones and take only one with you (replace mars bars with any other indulgence), reduce the meat portion of your dinner and add extra veggies instead. Each week just change things a little, keep doing the diary as it will become a positive reinforcer to your changing diet. If you can start by reducing the portion sizes of the things you eat and bulking them up with salad and vegetable items then you are a long way to achieving overall good health and weight loss.

Now that netball season is approaching for you, perhaps you and your girlfriend, or you and DP could start going for a daily walk, half an hour at a good solid pass will do wonders. Sometimes it can also help to stick up motivational reminders, like pictures of why you are doing this, stick them to the front of the fridge or bathroom mirror. Nothing negative, nothing like a blond bimbo in a bikini, nothing that shames you or makes you feel bad, things that really remind you why your doing this, what you are going to get out of it, what excites and motivates you.

Good luck and remember its ok to be naughty and slack off, just as long as you get back into it again.

Sure, sounds selfish, but as soon as you become pregnant and the baby is born, it's not half as much about you anymore, it's all about the baby! So it is your last chance to indulge yourself in what YOU want to do and be completely selfish about it. You and hubby are still so young, and as much as I love my daughter, I would have loved a last chance to be completely and utterly selfish. Luv ya!

I have to agree with Baalamb. Sound like it would be best to lose the weight  and play your netball (as both will help each other) then ttc when you are 100% ready.

To be brutally honest, You are going to put weight on when you are pregnant anyhow, so I would kept TTC, and not bother too much about the weight thing because it will be a 5 step forward 15 steps back thing untill baby is about 3 or 4 months old any way..

And along the brutally honest theme, "We do everything together???" If you want to TTC and she dosen't want you to so you can play netball, I'm sorry, but that is all rather 16 y/o? JMTCW.

Good luck and if you are lucky like alot of mums on here, the weight will drop off after you have baby!!

There is no average Dal. 

I put on 35 with Andrew (bear in mind I got very sick) but instantly lost 20 after he was born.

Josh I put on about 15 I never really got weighed.
