- LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-I'm a big eater usually, and I tried to really cut back on my portions. I definitely ate less protein and fat. I'm not a breakfast person, but I did cut out my evening snack and pushed lunch back as late at 1pm or 2pm some days. I also dropped a lot of calories by drinking less mt dew. I did not go vegetarian, but I stuck to fish, chicken, and some pork.If diet was used, length of time before attempt?I started the LE in late June, was on it pretty strict until I got a BFP in October, then went off the diet completely for 3 weeks. Then when I had my loss, I went back on the diet but was only on it about 2 weeks before I conceived again. So, about 16 strict weeks, 3 weeks off, then 2 weeks back on.Did you skip breakfast regularly?YesDid DH change his diet with you?YesComments regarding DH's diet-He switched to soy milk and diet soda, and tried to eat less nutritious food with me.DId you consume alcohol?

What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?I was 125lbs when I started the LE diet, so BMI 20.9, with body fat around 24%. I was 112 when I got my BFP, BMI 19.2 and body fat 20%. This was my lowest adult weight, but at conception I was at my same conception weight at DS2.Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?I had to stop exercise in August due to losing weight too fast, so I tried to do couch potato, but I am a very active person in my regular life.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO

I was also smaller than when I conceived my first DS, but around the same size as second DS.Things worth mentioning:-
