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.

Re: TTC Weightloss challenge
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.

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!

Re: TTC Weightloss challenge
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!!

Re: TTC Weightloss challenge
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.

Re: TTC Weightloss challenge

Re: TTC Weightloss challenge
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.

Body for life was so hard, it made me quit.
My friend who is also TTC lost 30 lbs in 12 weeks at WW, I always fail at it, but Im gonna drag my mom and just DO IT...( next week of course, my B-day is Tuesday and If I have to turn 30, I GET TO EAT CAKE!)

I've been on BFL for about 5 weeks so far. So far I've lost 12 pounds.
Yes, it's hard planning out 6 meals. ... Basically I go through eDiets and they plan the meals out for you and generate a shopping list. They have MANY diets, not just BFL and it's pretty affordable. They have chat groups, online nutritionists, etc.
I eat a BFL shake and a BFL bar each day- that takes care of 2 meals.
I eat a soy yogurt with flax granola for another meal and then a string cheese/fruit combo for the other "meal"... once you realize a meal is only 200 or 300 calories- it's not that hard to do!!!
