Where do I start?

Hi there,

My husband and i are trying to conceive and I need to lose weight.

I don't currently work and I suffer with an anxiety disorder,

I have looked at where to start with yoga and we have cut out most of the junk food, I'm enjoying eating healthily so far,

Any advice, tips, workouts etc etc would be appreciated.

Welcome mrsjackson to the weigh loss forum we are a friendly bunch.

Take a look at the "Welcome Newbies" in the pinned post on the right hand side, this gives you lots of information about the forum.

Feel free to join in any challenges as they come up, they are really good motivators.

Hope you have a good week.

You're doing it together and you've cut out the junk so that's a really good start! :) getting moving more doesn't have to mean committing to yoga everyday (tho yoga is greatand highly recommended! If only I had the balance for it lol) but it can also help to go for walks at lunch, take the stairs when you can, go for an evening walk together to get those steps in! Every little bit adds up and it helps.

My advice is to plan :) plan meals, plan snacks and plan fitness. It doesn't have to be rigid, but having an idea of what you are going to eat each day a) stops you from getting fed up deciding and reaching for the junk food and b) gives you something yummy to look forward to.

I'm sure you'll get loads of advice and good tips on here. Well done on starting your journey and good luck! :)

Hi mrsjackson , welcome to the forum. :-)

I see you have had some great advice already. I think yoga is great, so calming, and yet great for body tone and strength too.

Take a good look around the site to see what's here. Please feel free to post away with questions, there is always someone around!

Wishing you well,

Ruby :-)

I too suffer with anxiety and I have found yoga to be just amazing in so many ways. I use 'Yoga with Adrienne' videos on You Tube, she is fantastic and does quite a few videos for beginners. She also does yoga for anxiety/depression.

I wish you the very best of luck in your journey to losing weight and conceiving. 😊
