Anyone out there TTC & trying to lose? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hi all!

I just recently (like today) started working on my weight. DH and I have been TTC for almost 2 years & I have been told by my Dr. that it will help tremendously to lose weight.

I was wondering if there are any other ladies out there who are TTC & looking for a buddy on this wild ride of trying to lose weight.

Thanks~

I am right there along with you. DH and I have been TTC#2 for 4 years now. We have under gone many cycles with fertility drugs and a few IVF cyces that did not lead to a positive outcome. We did however get pg on our own last summer but lost it very early.

I started Dr. Phil's program last week and have already begun to lose weight. I believe 100% that my weight is the main issue of my infertility. I am putting TTC on hold until I can loose the weight. Maybe then I can get pg on my own. I know exactly how hard it all can be. I would be happy to be your buddy through this craziness.

What is your weight loss plan? What type of exercise do you do or are you going to do?

Hi there! DH and I are also TTC#1 and lose weight. He's military and always gone, so it's just me. I am doing the South Beach, phase 1. Look forward to talking to ya!

Good morning Michelle & Amanda!

Michelle - I'm sorry to hear about your m/c. I too had an early loss almost 4 years ago. As for my weight loss plan, I joined Contours last week & had my first "official" workout last night. It went well. Thankfully I'm not too sore today. I'll probably feel it tomorrow! I think I'm going to do Weight Watchers again. I did it a couple of years ago and it really worked for me. Since I already have the books I'm not going to go to the meetings or anything.

Amanda - Hi! Good luck on the South Beach Diet. I looked into that one, but just didn't feel it was right for me. I think I'll stick with what I KNOW works for me right now. I do plan to watch my carbs though along with WW. I have PCOS/insulin resistance, so thats something I have to work on too. How long have you & DH been TTC#1?

Okay, I have to get back to work. I really look forward to getting to know you guys. I know we'll help each other on this journey! I'll talk to you soon....
