Thanks 2mums

The weird thing is that ismy diet pretty much has been for about 2 months now and I am still not losing weight? Maybe I will have to go to a nutritionist or something cause nothing seems to work! I gave up alcohol months ago with maybe 3/4 times having a few within maybe 4 months! I also gave up potatoes/bread and cheese for like 2 weeks and NOTHING haha!! I have no idea but I will have to try something The baby is worth it and the more I can lose before baby means less to get rid of after baby

...just noticed you now have your chart in your signature too... cool! Confession: bit of a chart stalker

I did go to a dietician she gave me a personalized diet and when I follow it, it works amazingly, so i highly recommend going to someone like that. Also, when I first started the gym in Jan, when i got really serious about this weight/bubba thing, I was going twice a day, no job so i could, did cardio at one session and weights in another, worked with a trainer there to get a good program going. Also because I was working out so much the dietician added an Optifast shake to my diet, I drank it as my brekky, loved it, can be expensive about $55 for a box of 23, but its 1.5 serves of protein. The other reason your not losing is your not eating enough, sounds weird but its true, need to eat enough of each group and about every 3 hours to keep metabolism going. and lots of water!!!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

that being said, i didnt lose for about 2-3 weeks, i was becoming really depressed and about to give up, but then all of a sudden by body caught up, i think it was confused, and i dropped. So keep on your low bread/cheese for another lil bit and see.

edit: my diet: (dont follow, just example, bc its based on my height, weight, and excerise, and some tests she did) But its a heap of food, but i lose on it. 7-9serves of protein, 5 vege, 2 fruit, 2 carb, 2 dairy, 1 shake, 8 glasses of water. i have a paper that tell me what a serve is for each food, and a kitchen scale to weight it out. a pain, but again i lost 15 kg in 4 months

I dont know, ours is free. We have a 'pre exisiting condition' so we go to a community nurse specialist that works at our local medical center, and she gave me a 'health care plan' and on it I get certain things for free, dental, psychology, chiro/osteo, personal training, dietician... there are different categories and I get 5 free appointments in each category, depending on what she feels my needs are. So see if that exists and if you are eligible, I was because I was diagnosed manic depressive/bi polar when I was in the states. Happy to say now I am off my meds, have been for over a year and happier, settled and more in control than ever, but I still qualify for that plan! But.. check Bupa too, they may cover something like a dietician/ nutritionist!!

edit- your gym should be able to give you free diet advice and training advice too

 

[Melainey]

I do have a "pre-existing condition" of PCOS have had it since I can remember and it makes it sooooooo hard to lose weight so I tend to give up after so long because nothing I do works haha! In saying that when I loved up north in the kimberley (50degree heat and soooo humid ) I lost 8kgs in like a month on the Wii haha how funny is that! May have to buy myself a Wii in tax time

But I will defo check that out!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

yeah check it out bc sounds like you would qualify! We love our Wii...so much fun and it is good for weight loss, esp in summer!!
And the best kind of exercise ever.... and fun too!!

 

[Melainey]

hehehe oh yeah I do love me and LOTS OF IT hehhehe

So what is everybody doing this arvo? (do you like my style? I'm a trainee kangaroo )

 

[Trying2b2mums]

it's ten to seven here, just finished dinner, chicken and vege stir fry, and watching some Olympics, and having a discussion with OH of child vaccinations, not sure how we got on that topic, but we did, haha, we have differing views but not to extreme, and its all a catch 22 anyways, damned if you and damned if you dont more often than not! So, that's my evening, will probably crash early, didnt get my nap and I am tired!!! All that shopping, hahaha wiped me out!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hi again!

well...house isn't any cleaner now than it was before... but it's not too bad anyway luckily. I did, however, make an epic dinner! I had a steak, onion & mushroom & cheese omlette...well didn;t quite turn out, so more like scrambled eggs. lol

by the way, I have read somewhere recently that they say cheese is good for you now (of course, like everything, I assume in moderation) they are even thinking about making it it's own food group. just thought I'd throw that in...something else to look into, may be no need to cut it from your diet

also, I find the most effective way for me to lose weight is to eat small amounts, often. I normally have breakfast at around 7.30, snack at 10am, lunch at 1pm, snackk at 4pm, dinner at 6pm and I try not to eat after that. That's my ideal diet anyway, I find if you're not hungry when its meal time, you eat less. I also deliberately put less on my plate as I can't help myself if it's there. When DH is away I don't eat as well, and if we go out, I never hold back, I order what I want. I just try to keep my every day diet pretty good.

you will feel so much better, and once you do, it will be easy to keep up the lifestyle change!

 

[Maddy40]

Trying2B I buy from Freshpair.com as they will mail from the US to Australia - I find it's a lot cheaper to order from them than to buy in Australia.
Pammy31 I know what you mean about temping. My husband would freak, the whole idea of trying to engineer a BFP is kind of weird to him.

Gosh hope DH is feeling better tonight as he's been sick with a bad cold the past few days. Time to get moving on the bd-front, it's CD6. Back in the saddle, honey!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Mum2Q- i hear ya on that cheese thing, i've never been a huge fan of the stuff, although i love feta, which is good bc its quite 'good' for you, bc you dont eat large amounts of it, other than that we have light cracker barrel in the house, OH loves cheese, but I can do without it on most anything, minus pizza and taco/burritos, yummmm. You dinner does sound good, minus the cheese for me please, And your diet is good too, when we go out, i have what i want, its not often so i think its ok, but eating small and often is best!
Maddy- ty, ill look into them! and good luck with that saddling up!! sticky egg for you!

 

[Pammy31]

i am naughty.... i caved and bought 7 digi opks.... held on for a while and no lh surge. so tomorrow i will test

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

pammy & maddy - if yo want to temp but are worried about your husband, you can tell them you're doing it to get to know your body better. I am still absolutely amazed at how little I knew about my body, I feel a lot more in tune with it now that I know a bit more about it. It doesn't have to be about timing intercourse, but more about knowing your body as well as you can.

pammy, are you TTC or NTNP?

 

[Pauls_angel]

Hi all... I feel like I have been a bit absent but have been re-reading old pages putting together my list - am getting close! Will post it here when it is done

Just finished a yummy dinner too - roast lamb with baked potatos, pumpkin, caulifour, peas and gravy - YUM!

Might even treat myself to a little pecan pie and ice cream later on too!

 

[ginny83]

pammy - last cycle was my first cycle using digis... what I did to save money was buy cheap opks off ebay and just use the digi to confirm the positive. That way you don't have to "waste" too many digis. Hope that makes sense

 

[Newbie32]

My hubby went on a body challenge years before I met him and list about 20kgs in about two months...it was a very low carb high protein diet and lots of gym time etc, but very much about lots of small meals through out the day...I've done a light version of this a few times before a Thailand holiday where lots of bikini time to 'tighten up' a bit lol!

I definitely think it can take a little while until you see results tho, so stick at it hun!!! Will all be so worth it x

Dh at a work dinner tonight so I'm having a lazy one in the lounge with my furbabies

Opks are almost positive now so I think should o in the next two days or so, yeehaa! Hope we catch it this month...

Hope everyone is having a lovely night xx
