Thread: Motivated Mums TTC Weight Loss Diary

Hi everyone, I am a long time lurker first time poster!
I am 23 and have a gorgeous 5 year old daughter. We have been TTC since she was a newborn with no luck
We are undergoing lots of tests and we are awaiting our first appointment with the infertility clinic. I weighed in this morning at 301 lbs and know the clinic will not offer us any kind of treatment unless my bmi is 30 or under I am trying to get orlistat on prescription to aid my weight loss and have 4 weeks to prove myself until they consider prescribing it to me.
The nurse has set me a target of losing 6lbs in the next 2 weeks which I feel fairly confident about doing.
I have tried several diet plans in the past but this time I am just going to eat healthily and exercise daily.
I would love to make some friends along my long weight loss journey
Thanks for reading xx

Update: My current target is to reach a bmi of 37 by my next infertility clinic appointment in 16 weeks time. Taking it one step at a time

Good luck with your weight loss journey and with TTC.

Thank you very much

Hi, MM, I'm new to the site and just found your diary. I'm sorry you had a difficult appointment with the fertility specialists the other day.

You're doing great with your eating so far! I'm sure you'll meet your 6lb weight loss goal in time. I'll be checking you diary every day to see how you're doing.

Aw thank you I had been panicking about my food diary all week picking at it lol but it seems to have worked so far! Even though I lost 5lbs the nurse still told me to watch my portion size lol! I eat smallish portions anyway so I'm certainly not going to starve myself! Apparently she is not going to prescribe me orlistat as I a doing ok on my own but if I have a dip where my loss slows down then she may prescribe. Touch wood I may be on target for a BMI of 37 for our next infertility appointment in 16 weeks!


Breakfast: Nothing.

Dinner: BLT with 2 crispbakes.

Tea: Tuna pasta.

Snacks: 1 miniature twirl, 1 clementine, cornflakes.

Drinks: NAS Squash, tea.

I have updated my statistics as my current goal is to get my BMI to 37 for tests I need. Obviously my ultimate goal bmi is lower but 1 step at a time eh
