I hear ya on that! No matter what I eat or what I do I still stay the same. It pisses me off. Having kids was not easy on my body at all.

Aww man Sanrio, that sucks! I hope this stomach bug isn't as bad as last time . I hate the sickies. Keep us posted when you can lady . Healing to your family. Sounds like you're going to need a spa day after all this my dear.

Rockinmom: He'll forgive you . I know, it's some BS when you're doing all the right things but then you hit a plateau when you're trying to lose weight/get in shape . What's your regimen like? I used to run/jog, do some moderate to light weight lifting, etc. and I haven't really had the time for that. I do get outside with the kids when it's not crap weather. I haven't been able to get back into my yoga either . One thing I did find though is that when we went grain-free, the weight practically melted off. I wasn't looking for that at all and went grain-free for issues having to do with gut healing but that was a pleasant surprise!

Me, CD10 here, feeling a little . Hardly any CF yesterday now BTEWCF today and I can't find the hubby . I went to sleep no BD last night thinking I had a smidge more time! Ah, there he is! Erh, BBL .

Eating wise right now...no meat, very limited dairy, heavy vegetables...and Im not much of a fruit person, so I have an apple for breakfast, but usually that's it for fruit. Grain wise, I imagine Im pretty light, I make tacos one night a week (with veggie ground instead of meat) and we have a low carb tortilla, but no pasta, no random bread...?
Workout wise... Im on the elliptical 6 days a week and only in the last few days have started incorporating about 20-30 min of weight training 3 days a week. Im seriously close to saying screw it and eating whatever I want. The only thing stopping me right now is knowing that even if Im not losing the weight, Im healthier inside, my heart, my lungs, my muscles. I feel like there's one specific thing I should be doing and Im not.....and I have no idea what that is.

You may have luck adding in some extra virgin coconut oil, preferably organic. It's a medium-chain fat and burns a lot quicker than long-chains. It's awesome for energy, gut healing, skin, nails, hair, weight-loss, a whole host of things. Get thee to a google search!

We eat tons of fat around here including butter, ghee, olive oil, coconut oil, and organic palm shortening. Keeps us satiated and cravings for sweets and things aren't an issue. Now, we have a treat sometimes b/c, well, who doesn't love a treat?! lol

Of course, barring any kind of food allergy issues.

Sounds like I'm gonna fit right in here lol

No charting for me, done the ov test kit one cycle but was getting obsessed with smiley faces! Lol. We are tying but the if it happens it happens way.

Everyone sounds sick on here, me, I'm as fit as a flea

Had a row with hubby last night he packed his bags and left, came back tonight with his tail between his legs, shame I was enjoying the peace! Lol

I am starting to think I am not going to O this month and it is really getting me down. My temp spiked this morning and I feel like my chart is starting to resemble a anovulatory month. I am going to be so sad if I don't O again

HAHAHAHH! This made me LOL, not that your relationship problems are funny, but...you guys sound like us. We're also not doing much, no charting or OPKs just good old fashioned as often as the mood strikes...with a little more striking during when I think Im Oving.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have a serious sweet tooth, but honestly....Ive been so frustrated this last month with not loosing anything that Ive just stopped eating sweets. And still no weight loss....so I made an appt with the dr this morning to get my blood tested for thyroid and cholesterol and diabetes as they all run in the family. If i was thinking properly, which usually Im not, I wouldve done if before we started TTC, but I didnt, so, Ill do it now. Eff me.

AFM- I had a straight up crazy ass meltdown today and I couldnt even tell you what it was about. I woke up late, which is extremely uncommon. Ive been sleeping like 10 hrs a night...which is CRAZY for me. Im tired ALL the time. Like fall down right now tired and its only 3PM here. Also, TMI, Ive had loose stool all day, also uncommon and not a typical sign of AF for me....so Im freaking out that its too early for symptoms and there must be something wrong with me, thats why I called and made the apt with the dr. I just dont know. Im about 5-6 days away from AF and Im SOOOO emotional. ive cried twice today, also irregular. So, if Im not pregnant, which Im pretty sure Im not...I need some help....pronto or its time for the looney bin

Hope you guys were able to kiss and make up! A little break from each other can be a good thing for couples sometimes I say; marriage gets stressful!

Hoping we miss the flu. Pretty much everyone around us is sick, sick, sick. I guess that's one positive about being housebound most of the time all winter!

Aw, NDT . Don't fret just yet, you've still got time! Do you usually O around CD19?

Let us know how your appointment goes Rockinmom! Aw, sorry about the meltdown . They can certainly be rough! Hoping all is well and your body is giving you some early signs of a little gumdrop in there! If this is some hormones gone wild kind of thing there are things you can do to try and balance them out. Maybe your PMS is shaking things up a bit if you're not preggo? You know, 'cause otherwise we wouldn't know our periods were here if we didn't go through the ringer emotionally every month [/sarcasm]

Sanrio! How you doing lady?

Me, I'm pooped! DS2 I think is going through some developmental leaps so he's waking up ridiculously early again and being all crabby, scratchy, and bitey but then he'll go all super sweet again . And the two of them are fighting aaaaallllll the time, omg. Crazy kids!

Going to try to get these two to actually go to sleep at a reasonable time tonight. Mama needs some time!

If its not an anovulatory month I do usually o around cd 19. Plus my opks are getting lighter and lighter which is confusing.
