Girl Diet - how much did you lose while on it?

[Indira]

I went from 125 to 105 on the Le diet, in 2 months I think. Then I gained back a little because I was worried I would stop ovulating and would´t conceive being that thin.
I was surprised it was so easy to loose weight once I was on the diet, I had never dieted before in my life, and I would never have been motivated enough if it hadn´t been for swaying reasons.

I'm the same way, Indira - I've never dieted a day in my life and would never in a million years have imagined that I could have the willpower to do it (like most boy moms, I loooooove food). I guess all you need is the right motivation.

Just out of interest where on the BMI scale were you when you conceived?

My BMI was around 24 - it was 31 beforehand.

I lost a stone (14lbs) in about 6 weeks without really trying. I wasn't overweight to start with. BMI was 24 before I started and is 22 now. I seem to have plateaued for the last 6 weeks or so and have stayed around 11 stone. I work on the basis that so long as I don't gain any weight, I am doing ok! - I am 5ft 10 by the way.

I have my first attempt coming up soon and have lost 11lb in about 6-7 weeks so far. I am doing the IG diet. MY BMI was 21.68 and Now is 20.9. The weight is just dropping off really but I am eating so much less food than I ever would if I was just dieting and have so much more willpower. This is probably the smallest I've been bar pre DS1.

I have lost 2 pounds the first month. I am 5"4 and have been 120 since high school and never dieted. I started LE and I think i was eating too little and I didn't lose any weight the first two weeks, but at the end of the first month i had lost 2 lbs. My clothes are fitting so much looser I am excited to weigh in at the end of this week and see how much more weight I have lost (I weigh myself every 2 weeks)

Keep up the good work ladies!!

Great work done. If you want to reduce the body weight more quickly than you should use the hcg diet. It is very good diet and there is no side effect you can use It without any hesitation.

[atomic sagebrush]

Obviously this Darian is a spammer BUT I did want to let everyone know that the HCG diet is actually a really BAD idea for TTC pink because it raises testosterone! So if you were thinking about trying it to help you lose weight for swaying, DON'T.

I thought I'd update this thread, my weight loss does seem to have plateaued! In my 2ww this time I haven't lost any more weight, although I have been allowing myself to eat a bit more. I'm now at 93-94lbs (4'11") and so right at the bottom of healthy BMI range.

Going to have to actively try and cut down on food for the next few weeks to try and lose another lb or two before OV!
