How much is too much?

Question

Happy Monday all. 
​I have a question about weight while trying to conceive. 
​How overweight is too overweight. I am heavy but relatively fit (3 spin classes a week mostly healthy eating) but just wondered have you had any advice on weightloss from your health care providers. I don't think BMI tells us an awful lot some times. All blood pressure and bloods etc are always fine.

Answer

bMI is not an accurate indication for heath!!  I am a runner, strength train with a trainer at least once a week and as a result I have very strong legs and pretty in shape upper body.....my "athletic build" puts my bMI over the healthy "norm" as muscle weighs more than fat.  My ob - when I asked him about it laughed at me and said I am far from over weight and probably on better shape than him.  So as long as you are healthy and eat balanced and feel good enjoy life!!

Answer

I really think it depends on the person. Focus on being healthy and not the number on the scale!!

Answer

I'm overweight too but I ovulate naturally so my drs have all said my weight is a non issue as far as fertility goes. So if you ovulate I wouldn't worry at all. Plus you sound healthy, which is the main thing.

Answer

How much of what is too much? You sound totally healthy.
