Weight Watchers is the best program. They help you to eat the perfect portions of every food group. You feel like you are eating a lot, yet you lose weight every week. It's healthy and a gradual weight loss, so if you stop following it, you dont pile it all back on so quickly. The meetings are fun and informative. Thats where I'll be after the birth of this baby in Novemebr.

I've been gaining weight too since TTC. It's really annoying too because i eat pretty healthy. Maybe it's stress????

I too have put on a lot of weight. I thought about going to weight watchers too, but is that a good idea if you are ttc? I just blame it on all the stress, because I can't say that I am eating more, I actually think I am eating less. I also thought maybe it was all the hormones I had been pumping into my bod.

Going to the gym every morning and watching what I eat helped me shed the pounds. I felt so good after losing 30 pounds that I stuck to that routine. It's been 4 years and I've put about 10 lbs back on, but I figure it's my "adult size".

do like me and get your tonsils out. then all you can eat is jello. i dropped 17lbs in the last 2 weeks. haha j/k... what works for me is to just excercise. i try to eat smaller portions. some of the hormone drugs make me extra hungry so when i want something to eat i have to ask myself, "do i really need this or is this just the meds talking?" but its true, i did lose more weight in the last 2 weeks than i have in the last 2 years.

I also think Weight Watchers is the best program. I think it costs about $130 to join, but I've decided it's worth it if you want to get healthy. I lost 25 pounds when I did it (before I got pregnant). I should do it again, but we can't afford it now. I keep thinking I can just do it on my own, using what I have learned, but I am a great procrastinator. I think that getting healthy would probably help with conception. I've heard that obesity can cause infertility. I think in moderation, it is okay to lose weight while TTC. Once pregnant, your focus can switch to eating nutritiously for the baby, which will be a similar process. Best wishes!

I gained a lot of weight when I was on all the fertility drugs, so I upped my exercise. Don't forget to strength train 2 days a week. You don't have to look like arnold, just some 5 pound weights'll do. Your baby and your body will thank you for it later. Also don't watch the scale so much, it can cause more problems than it fixes and when I started dropping the inches I didn't drop any weight. A pound of muscle is the size of a fist, a pound of fat is the size of a 12 pound turkey, imagine if you only converted one pund inthe next month! Exercise but don't make yourself sick. Slow and steady wins the race. You may not see results right away, but you will feel better and have less stress.

I gained a lot with pcos and diabetes when I didnt know I had them yet. I did (and am still doing) the south beach thing and jogging. I lost 20 lbs in the first 3 months... it feels so good to work out and lose the extra lbs, plus its so much better to be in good shape when you're TTC and when you're PG. Weight watchers is great though bc of all the support you will get from all the other ladies. Unfortunately with me, I'm kinda on my own. Good luck!

I agree with suzyhopes. Weight traing is important. I gained some weight on fetility drugs as well. But that will be the day when I let the drugs control my weight. I feel that I already don't seem to have any control over getting PG. So I will stay in control of my weight. I hit the gym almost everyday and do lotsa cardio. The way I see it is that as long as I'm not PG I gonna look damn good. And we deserve that

I agree with everyone on here and have followed Weight Watchers in the past. My DH and I are starting back on it again so it will be nice to have some support. I loved Weight Watchers and lost every week I went. It is very easy to follow too. It is basically just a healthy way of eating and not really realizing it. They have WW online etools now if you don't want to go to the group meetings and they also have message boards there too with great people on them. Good luck!!

My doctor put me on phase 2 of the South Beach diet in December. I haven't lost weight, but I finally stopped gaining.
I am also starting yoga and am joining Curves which is opening up the street.
The South Beach diet is good for women with PCOS b/c it cuts out refined sugars and processed foods, both of which can cause cysts and affect insulin resistance. I have heard excellent things about Weight Watchers as well. I just went the SB route since my RE recommended it.
Good luck!
