Losing Weight to Concieve...80lbs+ to lose!

Hi,

My name is Kimberly. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant since April 2015 with no luck. I've read a lot of success stories from women that got pregnant after weight loss. I used to be on MFP a lot about 3 years ago but stopped. I'm back now and hoping to go from 5ft 6 inches and 232.2lbs to 145lbs in a year. Back when I used to log, food is the hardest thing for me. I've got a personal trainer, now I just need help with healthy eating. My challenge with food is that I grew up on fast food, never learned to cook and my husband and I are both super picky eaters. I was also diagnosed with PCOS so my body reacts unhealthly to carbs and is a road block to ne getting pregnant and losing weight. I know I'll need help! Anyone on a similar journey that would want to help me?!

    Hi my namr is Kymbra. I am losing weight to conceive as well. :) I hope to lose 135 by this time next year. I have PCOS as well. My biggest problem is that I grew up cooking huge meals. :)

    Yay! Baby dust to you! If you make big meals you can portion them out for smaller meals throughout the week! That's what I'm going to try to do :smile:

    I would be more than happy to help you or anyone needing help. I have a similar story (PCOS and infertility) and had tried to lose weight for years. Tried every diet out there and finally was able to do it without a pill or special potion. I'm also a CPT. If you are interested I would be happy to give you some free advice. Just message me. And no I don't promote any MLM scams. Just healthy eating advice and support.

    Look into inositol powder (http://pcosdiva.com/2012/07/de-mystifying-myo-inositol/). It has helped me a lot with PCOS symptoms including losing weight. Also, an easy way to have a home cooked meal is to use a slow cooker-little maintenance and requires little skill, just toss everything in and let it do the rest. :)
