Weight Loss to help with pregnancy

Hi mums!

I am not sure if I can give help on this post. I actually loosing weight right now. I have 3 & 1.8 yo kidz. And just started realizing that I need to get back to my old size. To fit with my old jeans as I'm back to work full time.

Since I am not able to go to the gym, all I can do is some stretch up every morning. And I'm just taking up shakes to replace my 2 regular meals. And its really going well.

Cheers!

I have lost 1kg in a week. Yah I feel really good though the first kilo is easy. I hope I can lose another kilo this week. 9 kilos to go.

How is everyone else going?

Hi Minty fresh and welcome. Awsome work so far, Skiing once a week is so cool! Cant do that up here in Northland that is for sure :)

Blondie23, well done!! That is an awesome loss.

I didn't weigh this morning but I didn't really put in any effort last week so this week is hopefully a goer. I do need to confess. I woke up this morning at 5am absolutly starving and ended up dropping DP off at work and getting myself some maccas. The other alternitive was cooking chicken, broccoli and potato which is what I woke up thinking about. Weirdo!

 

PS welcome lightning8

 

PPS - Weve decided to start trying this coming month (waiting for AF to start) but I'm still going to try and lose weight all the meanwhile

Welcome minty fresh I hope your weight loss journey is going well.

How is everyone else going?

This week has been hard for me as I'm working quite long hours and not getting time to eat lunch and needing to get takeaways for dinner.

Hope it gets better.

Good luck everyone

Hello ladies :) If I could just jump in here.

My partner and I have been together just over 6 years now and for the last two we have been trying for a baby.

I am over weight and have joined gym's, bought zumba, eat well and still, no good results in my efforts. My neighbour is a great influence with excercise and that I am greatful.

I have been to my DR several times and main issue is my weight. I have enquired about endometriosis etc but I don't have it. Also my menstral cycle can be absolutely mental some months causing me concern. My partner is willing to get a sperm test done to make sure it's not him. And believe me when I say he is not that type of man but will do it to help us get our goal.

I know it's no excuse but I have seen larger ladies than myself easily fall pregnant and I always wonder if I am just not meant to be a mother. I adore kids, have worked along side them and always put my hand up for babysitting for friends.

If there is any-one out here that can give me other options as to what else can help that is "low cost" I would truely be forever greatful. xxoo

Hi all! And hi amour,

In addition to your zumba or any exercise you can try also the one im taking right now. I'm taking two formula shakes to replace my 2 regular meals and 3 times multivitamins. Obviously one of the great factor for us to lose weight is to reduce the food we are taking, and replace it with minerals and vitamins.

The program im taking is not expensive less than $4 per meal cheaper than my regular meal :). You can pm me if you want to know more about it. They are actually giving free samples to start with. So that you'll know if this gonna work for you or not. :)

Sorry just reread it's my fitness pal. So tired at present probably go to bed before 8.
Good luck amour

That is awesome Blondie23!! Keep it up and you will be there in no time.

I had a bfp this am, need to confirm at dr etc as I dont really believe until its confirmed. I am still going to try and eat healthy and get 30 mins of exercise in a day so hopefully I'll drop a few kilos naturally before I start gaining.

Welcome Amour

Congrats sweets pleased you didn't need to lose weight to convice.

Well done lightning8 that's fantastic. You'll make your goal in no time.

Fantastic VioletStar. You are doing really well. My weight loss is slow and steady but it keeps coming off which I'm hapy about. So far I've loat 2.3kg in 2 weeks so thats good for me. Just 7.7kg to go.
Good luck
