    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Looks like there are lots of us with dodgy knees! Good luck to both of you with your operations. I hope they go really well and that you are in less pain afterwards. I am making very gradual progress with the physio.

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Hi ladies- well I am back again after another few months away. Knee is still bad- I had an MRI and found out that I have bad arthritis and my knee frequently gives way :-(- am seeing a physio at the moment who thinks he can help with the giving way part at least. Anyway, I want to lose a bit...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Thanks ladies, glad to be back :-). Going to see the physio on Monday so hopefully that will help. Have had a good day eating wise for me so far today and haven't felt that hungry which is rare for me.

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Hi everyone, Back after a few months away! I ran the London marathon in April in just over 6 hours :-). Since then, however in have been having problems with the back of my knee and have put on about 4 pounds. So I am back to try and eat healthily and maybe lose a few more pounds. Hope everyone...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Just popping in to say hi, I am still the same weight as I was three weeks ago, so still maintaining at the mo. Pretty happy with that though as it was my birthday and I had quite a bit of nice food for that, and I haven't really been thinking much about weight loss at all.

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    I have lost a couple of pounds again and have altered my target to a smaller, closer goal of 11 stone 7. Once I reach that then I can set another small goal- I think having my ultimate target on here (10 stone 7) seemed too overwhelming!

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Just checking in- still hovering at around 11stone 11/11 stone 12. Not doing very well at losing my last stone and a bit. The problem is that I am pretty happy at the weight I am now, so don't have a great deal of motivation to put in the effort to lose the final bit. That and the fact that I...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Hi everyone and Happy New Year! I had a really nice Christmas. Managed to put on 6lb but I have lost 3lb of it already putting me at 11st 11- 3lb above my lowest weight.

    Still pretty much the same weight though may have put on a pound or 2 this week as had my husband's work Christmas party and a couple of buffets. Will try and eat sensibly in the lead up to Christmas.

    Hi everyone im back chunckie chez

    Well done for getting into the walking again Chezz. Exercise always has a habit of making us feel better-once we've finished it if not before!

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Not only am I now back to pre-holiday weight a week after returning but I have also lost another pound which has taken me to 25% of my original body weight lost- yippee. Marathon training is going well so far but I am feeling so tired in the evenings!

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Hi guys, well I am back after a week's holiday in the sun and I now weigh 12 stone 0lb- 3lb up from my lightest. My new goal is 10 stone 13lb by April when I run my marathon and start trying for a baby. I haven't been very focused over the last month or two so need to get my head back in the game!

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Well I am still basically the same weight wise as the last time I posted. I did, however buy a size 12 top and cardigan the other day that fit me perfectly (although admittedly it is a large size 12) and jeans from GAP that are measured in inches not sizes but are the equivalent of a size 14 :D...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Having gained a pound and then stayed roughly the same weight for about 3 weeks I have finally lost that pound and lost another one so I now weigh 11 stone 12lb- 5 pounds from goal. What is even more exciting is that my husband and I both weighed each other last night and I finally weigh less...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Glad to see you back again Chezz, but sorry to hear that your holiday wasn't as nice as you hoped. I am hobbling around today as I was doing some exercises to help the front of my knees which are injured, fell over backwards and pulled a muscle in the back of my knee! Only I could do that, lol!

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Ran my half marathon last week in a time that was 16 minutes faster than last year despite my dodgy knees so was very happy with that. Not so happy with the fact that I haven't been able to exercise for the past week (recovering from half marathon and trying to let knee heal). Off to see physio...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Thanks Anna. I can see how structured diets suit some people better, but it is important for me that whatever I do is sustainable so that I can keep the weight off for good. So healthy eating (including changing the way I cook things as you mentioned) with some treats and plenty of exercise is...

    11 stone something to 10 stone something

    I finally qualify for this thread having weighed in this morning at 11 stone 13lb. I am not likely to hit the 10s before my husband and I start trying for a baby in December but you never know how long that might take so I want to keep the momentum up! There must be some others in the 11s aiming...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    I am now only 1 pound off my BMI being normal- seems to be taking me forever to get there though!

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Back to only being 1lb above my pre-holiday weight now, yey! Am so so pleased because I honestly thought that I might put on a stone or something in the 2 week holiday (going by past 1 week holidays where I have put on 1/2 stone) and I didn't. Would love to get to normal BMI by the end of...

    Losing 5 stone before trying for a baby

    Well done for getting back on the wagon. I definitely think mini goals are the way to go, the target weight on my profile is not my final target but once I get to it I will enjoy being at a healthy BMI for a bit and then set another mini target a few pounds lower and work down gradually to the...

I have come so far and will...
