Losing weight to burst fertility...

you don't need any special supplements, just eat less than you burn off to lose weight, and do exercise and eat healthy foods to stay healthy while losing weight.

the protein powder is good for ensuring you get enough protein (this along with exercise that works the muscles hard helps to preserve your lean body mass (i.e. the non-fat parts of you) while losing fat, but it's not necessary unless you struggle to get enough protein from "real" food alone. I have protein powder, although not every day, because sometimes it is hard to get enough protein without going over on carbs and fat.

No idea what the other ones are!!

I haven't had any fertility expert opinion on this, but before I had my first daughter I was struggling to conceive and I was also obese. I joined weightwatchers and about 2 months after I got to my goal weight I conceived. Personally, I would not do weight watchers again though, because there was no emphasis or information about the importance of preserving lean body mass and keeping the metabolism fast, and I piled all the weight back on again during my pregnancy. This time around I've used a different method, i.e. focusing on preserving lean body mass and losing fat slowly, by doing weight lifting and a healthy diet that gives me a little less than I burn off for slow and steady fat loss. I've maintained my new weight without difficulty this time around. for more information about this, seethe "in place of a road map" thread.

Hi we fell pregnant by accident with my daughter (now 5) but I never really lost the baby weight. 4 years of trying for baby two led to nothing so I started a hardcore exercise regime, working out 2 hours a day 6 days a week on advice of the doctor. 3 Months later I was pregnant and now have my 9 month old boy. Now getting back to doing what I was doing before I got pregnant. It can be done with just genuine hard work and determination!

Wow congrats on the baby and all the hard work!
