dieting while TTC

Has anybody here dieted while TTC? I have been doing Weight Watchers points for the past month or so. I'm trying to lose a few pounds before getting pregnant. Should I not diet during the 2ww? any thoughts?

I don't think there's any problem with dieting as long as you're eating healthy and eating enough.

I just wouldn't do anything crazy

Re: dieting while TTC

Dieting is totally fine as long as it's done healthily you actually have weight to lose. . I think then being closer to a goal weight is supposed to be good for fertility. Any extreme calorie change or restriction will change your cycle though but if it's just about making healthier choices and cutting back on a few things then MORE POWER TO YOU!!

Good luck with WW and

I am officially TTC and I just joined ediets last week. I will continue to diet until I get a BFP and even then I will restrict my calories.

Re: dieting while TTC

if you can try to diet or watch what you eat without being really stressed, then im sure its totally fine and good for you. but if you get stressed out or anxious while dieting, it might hurt your chances while ttc since stress messes you up.
good luck!

Re: dieting while TTC

i am continuing to follow my healthy lifestyle, that i started when i began TTC. i am not sure that i am on a "diet" and i am eating more calories, but i am training to run a 1/2 marathon, so i really can't be on a "diet"

but i don't see the harm, as long as you are eating a balanced diet

Thanks ladies...

Ive lost 3 pounds so far and feeling good. Hoping to lose 2 more this week. I think you are all right, as long as I am being healthy about it I'm sure there is no harm.

WW is good because it is simply portion control but allows you to make healthy choices.

Good luck to anyone else who is trying to lose a few pounds before becoming a mommy. :)
