New and just started TTC girl

Thanks Atomic! And one more question; how important is the exercise factor in relation to the succesrate?

It seems to be pretty important and among our best sway tactics. :)

I need some advice; I'm struggling with my weight. I'm still losing weight (eating around 2.000 kcal while i normally eat around 2.500 kcal/day). What to do? Would you suggest adding up kcal till 2.200? I'm on the dieet for 6 weeks right now (I softly changed my eating habbits to the LE dieet). I would like to add the exercise element as well for 4 times a week 45 - 60 minutes (both boys were conceived while exercise once a week). Can I add more calories to my diet while sporting to keep a solid weight? I believe the combination of exercise and changed eating habits (I was a typical grazer) will sway for me :-) but I don't have any more weight to loose.


Thanks, BBGwish

Question - are you counting the calories in low carb vegetables in this total?? If you are, stop, because they are free and unlimited. This may free up some more REAL calories for you.

At any rate, if you have no more weight to lose, you need to eat more to stop the weight loss!!!! Yes yes up to 2200. There is no magic cal range, I have the calories as a guide. Some of us have fast metabolisms and may need to eat more to keep weight on. :)

No, I didn't.. Actually, I really don't eat so much low carb vegatables ;-). I eat a lot of pasta and rice which I do count.

Thanks for your advice Atomic! You're so helpfull! I decided to 'stop' the diet for now and make sure I gain weight. After that, I will start again with swaying with more calories (I keep in mind the calories as a 'guide' and will make sure that my weight is a kind of steady), counting the swaying weeks and I will start exercise after 6 week (so 6 weeks before first attempt). I do not want to relay on a sway in which I gained weight because this is my last chance...

I'd probably have you stay vegetarian just in case it helps!!! meat is not that good at putting weight on anyway.

Thanks for your advice! I'll do that. I don't miss meat at all :-). What about fish? Skip that as well till I'm pregnant?

Some people do. It's totally up to you. If you do choose to eat it, make sure it's no more than 2x a week because more than that may be harmful to your future baby.
