Losing weight in prep of ttc!

[miss_soldier]

Hi folks!! Haven't posted in a while, been focusing on planning my wedding for September this year. Anyway all major things are booked, so main focus is losing the weight to feel my best in my dress and look good and feel happy in my wedding pics. However another main reason is I want to lose weight so I'm at my healthiest when starting to try for a baby straight after wedding. I'm hoping to lose about 4stone, not sure if that's doable before august / September.
Just looking for tips from people who have lost weight! Thanking you xxx

It's completely doable as long as you are focused.
You really need to find what works for you. I am a calorie counter and this is what works for me. So I can have whatever I want as long as I don't go over on my calories.

Try replacing white potatoes with sweet potato, butternut squash or cauliflower. Just as filling, tastes better and has less calories.

I'm getting married in may and want to lose 19-22lbs. I've already lost 10lb this Month by cutting down on calories and exercising (mainly running intervals)

Try my fitness pal to help you keep track of calories (really easy to use and the app is free)

Good luck! X

Hi, yes this is totally achievable, it's 2lb a week from now until Sept, which is a really healthy, steady weight loss. I've started slimming world in Jan and have lost 5.5 lb so far and want to loose 2lb a week until June when we start to try. I've just got my head around the diet and it's very good, you can still have a full English breakfast believe it or not, so long as you cut all the fat off your meat and don't cook with oil! I just need to up my game with exceeding now (was meant to be at the gym half an hour ago, but slept in , whoops) you've inspired me to get off my bum and get it down to the gym

It's easily doable hun I've lost 4.5 stone since august by calorie counting (kept it at or under 1200) and reducing sugar intake also starchy veg and white rice/pasta/bread.

Hello! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding I thought i would share something with you that i came across via facebook - i was in the same situation as you, wanted to lose weight for my wedding & be healthier! Tried WW & SW and they did work to a certain extent but i am not very good at sticking to diets :-/ So, i came across something on facebook called "LotusLite" - its a natural skinny pill. I was VERY sceptical about this, but i did a bit of research and they seemed pretty legit. They offer a free 2 day sample so i sent off for that & then went on to purchase some skinny pills. I used them before my wedding & lost just under 2 stone in 10 weeks. I was really impressed. If you google LotusLite it should come up. Good luck x

I've got a bit to lose before I TTC again. I've got holidays in May & June and I'd like to lost 2 stone by May, 2.5 by June. Hopefully by Xmas I will have lost 4 stone, and manage to maintain my weight for most of my pregnancy.

I would say losing 4 stone is definitely doable by August/September. I would recommend slimming world and exercising! This is my down fall! Most of the time my food isn't too bad, but I'm lazy and sit on my arse in front of the TV! I think I might start with swimming twice per week from Monday and see how that helps. If I can get into the habit of doing that, I'm sure I could squeeze another exercise session in somewhere!
