TTC Weightloss challenge

Would any one be interested in this?

We all know it's in our own TTC interest to try & lose what we can.

It's healthy for us and makes the TTC process better in so many ways

Anyway- we should work together and motivate each other- post what works for us and what doesn't.. trade tips, etc....

Anyone in?

I'll start-

my goal this week is to do cardio in the morning 3x a week and weights 3xs a week (alternate nights)....
I also want to drink a lot of water, remember to take my vitamins and watch the junk i put in my mouth.

If i lose 1 pound this week I'd be happy.

Like I said on LIW its the best thing for us. Count me in

I was just thinking about this topic today. My mother has been on my case because even though I am not actively TTC right now, I would be thrilled if it happened now. But my mom raised some concerns about diabetes, etc. so I want to drop at least 20 pounds.

My goal for now is to just make conscious, good choices one meal at a time. DH and I are in the middle of moving into a house and it's too all-consuming. When we are in the house I will get back on the Body for Life plan, because I really like it.

I am in too. I am down 34 pounds, have 16 to go till we can TTC.

My goal this week is to work out more, I've been getting lazy.

Christine you have done, and continue to do AMAZING!!

As I said on my post on LIWs, I have gained 26 pounds since the wedding. Since I've been back from vacation, I've been really diligent about eating better and exercising (in fact, DH and I just got back from the gym tonight .. we have NO excuse, its right in our building) and I did 45 mins of cardio (go me!)

I dropped about 3 pounds since my last doctor's visit, so I have about 23 to go

I think this is a great way to support each other and I am glad the subject came up today - I dont feel so alone anymore!

Christine...I too am impressed, you are doing amazing. I am now inspired by you.
Mind if I join you guys. I have to lose 20 to 25 pounds BAD!!
I joined WW a couple of weeks ago, and am trying to commit to running at least five days a week.

Can I join too?

I've gained at least 10-12 since the wedding so I'd love to lose that plus more.

Today I'm going to be watch what I eat and get some exercise with my DH. The gym isn't possible at the moment so I'll make sure we go for a nice brisk walk in the park.

This thread is a great idea!!

just a little bit more to go - -we face a big challenge this weekend

in case you didn't know, boosh and i have teamed up in this weight loss process, she shouldn't have to go through this alone and i can stand to lose a few

Last night I cooked a meal that was great. DH also enjoyed it, and it was a recepie from WW.

How many of you girls get the support from your DH as far as eating the same thing? Light and Healthy.

He ate a little more that I was allowed but I was happy that he liked it, that way I don't have to cook 2 meals.

Well day 1 down for me...I did Atkins strict and started doing the eliptical but had to stop because Im getting a cold and my head was pounding.

HI
Can i join too, i got married last year and have probably gained about 10 pounds since the wedding. I don't think my DH and I will start to TTC until late next year but i figured its never to early to start. I have so far lost three pounds and would like to lose another fifteen pounds.

Welcome everyone!!!
This is so exciting.

Today I am starving.
I just got AF and all I want to do is eat, eat, eat...

everytime I get starving I just think- drink water you can't POSSIBLY be hungry!

I do the SAME thing - I think I cant possibly be starbing when I can live off my fat for at least 3 wks!!

Well, after being utterly, completely disgusted with myself, I joined WW online today. I love Body for Life but it's a bit of a PITA to plan six meals a day when we are in the middle of packing up our apartment and fixing up the house. WW online worked well for me over the summer, as long as I stuck to it. Which was always my biggest challenge.

Today after work I am driving up to the house to do some unpacking and sanding and priming. Not exactly exercise but not sedate either. As soon as we are really in the house I am going back to the gym.
