Hi All,
Forum newbie here. Just wanted to start a thread to introduce myself. I am 28 and have been married for nearly a year. DH and I will be starting TTC sometime next year (not quite sure exactly when yet - depends on a few things, money etc.) and I could do with losing a bit of weight. I've had some gynecological problems over the last couple of years and the hormones I've been on this year have made me balloon up quite a bit. I've never exactly been skinny (always been a size 12) but I've never been this big either (a large size 14 - not good at only 5ft 5in). I'm looking to get my BMI back into the healthy range before we start TTC. I thought it would be good to start a thread on here as I expect there are some others in the same position as me and we could give each other moral support to avoid the biscuit tin - especially with Christmas coming up! Look forward to hearing from you...

It's always a good idea to try to lose weight before trying to conceive. If you can keep active and avoid comfort eating (definitely harder for me during the pandemic) you can definitely lose weight easier before trying to conceive. The recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of more intense exercise) definitely helps. That's a couple of walks or online cardio / Zumba / HIIT classes a week. Yoga helped me lose my weight a lot faster. Yoga burns calories when done the right way and coupled with the right dietary changes. If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week. https://yogaweightloss365.com/" rel="nofollow - This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked for me before trying to conceive and I started to put on too much weight. Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level. If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results. Good luck! Mandy |
