Let's record what we're eating to help each other

BrightSky, how long are you going to be on a strict diet before ttc? I'm going to be about 12 weeks. I was starting to feel very nervous about LE but now that I have been tracking everything for couple of days it doesn't feel so overwhelming. Of course I'm not doing it perfectly yet but hopefully I will get there in July.

Pinkin, that's absolutely great weight loss! I think seeds aren't recommended on LE but I think you can eat them once in a while. Not sure though!

I'm aiming for at least 8 weeks on the strict diet, which really means I should be on it now I am doing pretty well I think, it's still the dinners at my mums and with friends that gets me! I have a feeling we might not get prefers straight away with all the swaying, which is fine as I am not in any real rush and we give me longer on the diet.
I also thought the tracking would be harder then it is, it really isn't bad and gives me an idea of what Im actually eating. Also trying to stick to carbs and low protein.

You're doing great ladies! P promise it becomes a no brainer - and yes sesame seeds are allowed - it's at your discretion what you eat but keep it in the limits!
Family dinners can be really hard, but even then I find im just able to cut my portion size and stay in the limits this is my TTC month and I've been on the diet for 10 weeks. Around 5-6 out became second nature and felt "normal". Idk what they means for my sway, but I know I have it my all!

I hope so hitmebaby! Went out with some friends tonight and had a MASSIVE blowout on heaps of wine, pizza and brownies.. It was awesome! Feeling slightly sick now and like I have undone some of my hard work :-/ of well, it's a public holiday weekend here this weekend so hopefully I can stay on track now that it's 'out of my system'. I'll tell my husband to go out so I can relax at home with Netflix

BrightSky, is your first attempt going to be in August? I also thought tracking would be difficult but it really isn't. I understand it feels awful after you have eaten everything you shouldn't but I'm sure you'll be soon on track!

Hitmebaby, how exciting this is your ttc month! Good luck! Must be so exciting to finally ttc when you have done a great job with LE and everything.

I have been on some kind of LE 4 days now. Actually have been quit good. I have skipped breakfast two days now even though I first thought I would start skipping it next month. I wanted to try it and I'm suprised how easy it was. I usually eat breakfast almost as soon as I wake up, if I don't I feel nauseous. But yesterday and today I was ok! I'm happy because I thought it was going to be so hard. I have stayed in limits, protein has gone a little bit over and fat little bit under but that's easy to fix. Today I ate 3 slices of toast with butter and a side salad. For dinner I had a big bowl of pasta with cooked vegetables and butter and little bit of cream cheese for flavor. And to add calories I had sweets. Right now I'm aiming for 1800kcals a day and see how it goes. I have already lost little bit of weight. I don't want to lose too fast cause I will start strict le in July and first attempt in October. But maybe I will reduce calories in July.

Thanks 2xblue! The skipping breakfast part is the easiest for me, I was never much of a breakfast person!
I was tossing up between July or August for my first attempt, getting so close, I'm starting to freak out that I'm not ready for another babe!!

[2xblue]

It makes it so much easier if you aren't a breakfast person! Yes July and August are so close. I've been thinking what if our first attempt would be in September because I have started LE now pretty well. The plan was to ttc in October but it's so tempting to start ttc earlier but I'm not sure yet. Original plan was to start LE in August and first attempt in November lol.

My macros today: carbs 74%, fat 17% (33g) and protein 9% (39g). Protein is little bit under and fat too. Tomorrow trying to fix those. Right now trying to eat 1800kcals and next month will be reducing.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

2x I was consistently low with my protein and often fat too, but then certain days of this venture I was over so it's been a wash. You guys are doing fantastic.
