It's Tuesday 9 February.
I am 30 years old.
Having had a miscarriage at the end of last year, we are now waiting until we've moved house (April) and till it's a bit later in the year and so no chance of a winter baby. I'm a winter baby and so are my two stepchildren, so I really want to spread it out a bit. Also, I loathe being a winter baby, so it would seem pretty hypocritical to moan about it to my parents all my life and then do the same.
We will be starting to try again in about 14 weeks, so I figure now is a good time to sort myself out.
I'm overweight, and because everyone kept telling me it would take ages to conceive, I thought I'd have time to lose weight before getting pregnant. But I got pregnant straight away! So this time I'd like to be a bit fitter.
I am currently 212 lbs. I've lost about 5 lbs already, but I'm still at the heaviest I've ever been. I'd like to lost 10% of my body weight but I'm initially aiming at 5% and we'll see how that goes. That would take me to 206 lbs.
I would like to exercise 3 times a week, so I'm going to try and record that here, and my weight loss.
I will also begin the folic acid again. I'm on 1000mg of Metformin, which has some unpleasant side effects but I'm hoping it will help.
I'm your first stalker :D looking forward to folling your journey Jo. I have had miscarriages too and am trying to get fit again so I can have a baby.

Second stalker, :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! I was slightly heavier than you when I started to actively loose weight two months ago. I've lost 11 lbs, hoping to loose 11 more before I revisit the doctor for help on getting preggy. I've never been preggy and I'm very sorry for your loss.
wow, stalkers! this is great...
ReplyDelete11 lbs in two months nan? That's brilliant, well done - very inspirational.
