Thanks everyone

Oh Traskey Hun, sending you lots of hugs. You will probably be sent for any tests you haven't already had, and then at the next appt they will probably mention your BMI.

I did lighter life and it just wasn't nice, I felt so miserable and only managed a week! I needed to chew food!

Also, did you know in most PCTs you can have up to 2 rounds of private treatment and still qualify for NHS? Also most private clinics don't have a bmi limit.

Ohhhhhh, I didn't know about the private clinic. Will have to look into that, thanks. It's always good to have a back up plan.

You didn't get on with Lighter Life either? It's so tempting when you look at their weight loss but I knew in my heart that I probably wouldn't be able to stick to a shake and nothing else for weeks at a time! At least with WW and SW you can eat and make choices.

I did my measurements today for WW and i've lost 2cm off my waist and 3cm off my chest so that's a positive for the day. Put me in such a good mood I did half an hour on the wii

Ah Traskey, sending you lots n lots of hugs....xxx

Hubbys cant win sometimes, if hubby didnt offer me a minsterl I probabyl would have taken the head off him & he if did offer I would have taken the head off him too...LOL They put up with a lot, bless them....

Don't be worrying go into your appointment open minded & take it from there, wishing you the very very best of luck...

Off out for a walk with my DH now.....xx

 

[Tarkwa]

Hi Tarkwa,

Delighted you were able to talk to you mam at least there will be no pressure from her, maybe you should have a little chat with your MIL, its nice when they know what's going on, I have to say my Mam & MIL are brilliant, no pressure at all, although sometimes they might make a comment if I was to go for an extra piece of cake!!! LOL

Hubby got his tablets in Holland & Barrett today 40Euro, they cost so much when you add up all the vitiam's we've to take, but Im sure it will be worth it in the end.

Thanks april05, I'd love to tell her, but it would be much quicker and easier if I took out an advert in a national newspaper! Seriously, she would hassle me (in a nice way, but that ends up being hurtful) every time I see her (how's it going, any news, do you need some 'private' time together upstairs?!?!?! ), tell people even though I would say not to - she would tell her sister (they are very close) and say not to tell anyone, but because she lives so far away and hardly ever sees us I just know, bless her, that she (DH's aunt) would then tell her children and then everyone would know on his side of the family. Then she'd probably blame me, saying it must be my fault because how on earth could her son be the problem? She's very family oriented and doesn't like 'outsiders' like me or my BIL (she does accept us though!), plus she has a TONNE of her own problems so it's best off keeping quiet. PHEW, that feels so much better now getting that off my chest - thanks!!!!

Got DH some Wellman Conception (multi-vits) today from Holland & Barrett (B1G2HP), our local one doesn't stock Fertility Plus as it's only a little store.

Didn't go to the gym today - but I did do some gardening so that probably burnt a few cals (not many). Going to have chicken fajitas for dinner, yummy! And I will post my weight tomorrow (am in the office for most of the day so will probably be the evening). Enjoy what's left of the weekend ladies.

Ugh, I'm feeling really miserable today. I try so hard to stay positive, but every now and then, I just feel like giving up. It feels like i'm trapped and can't move forward in my life. I just want to have a baby, thats all. It seems to happen so easily for other people.

Sorry I'm being self indulgent, and moany, I'm just having a bad day I guess.

 

[Tarkwa]

HUGE honey!!!! We're all allowed to have sh*tty days where we just wonder why on earth we put ourselves through this, but it will be worth it in the end. No-one else could understand how we feel about wanting to be a mummy - it's just nature, something inside us that we can't control, no matter how level headed we are in real life! We've got it 'harder' than others with our weight so we have a longer journey (the crappy scenic route like you said before!). Take it easy tonight, chill out, watch a film, have some chocolate (just a little) and have a cuddle. We all feel like giving up, but we know we never will - that's what makes us stronger .

[Traskey]

Awwww Zowiey Please hang in there. I know that it's so hard and sometimes you just want to hide under the duvet and make the world go away. It's awful that you know what you want, you see other people having it and no matter how hard you try it just doesn't happen.

I know how you feel about it being the one thing to help you move on with your life. I feel the same way. All we can do is keep trying and hope for a miracle.

GIANT We are all here for you if you need us x

This was on the WW FB page today. I thought it might help.

[april05]

Isnt it great to get things off our chest...! I had a new member of staff a while back (she was covering a maternity leave) she kept asking me would I like kids and making references that I was married 5 years & didnt have kids, that one day I just turned round and said We dont want children as they dont fit into our schedule. I know that sounds terrible to say but I just couldnt go into it with her as 2 girls in my office just had babies & she had 3 herself so she wouldnt under stand but it did shut her up and she never asked again.... So maybe tell your MIL that you dont plan on having them just yet.... maybe in a nicer way than I told the girl in my office...LOL...

Ah Tarskey, I read that too & thought yes one day my dreams will come true.

I was feeling a little down yesterday but am back on track today, went for a lovely walk with DH. I've my WW no point veggie soup made & my sugar free Jellies made & chillin in the fridge. Its a new week tomorrow Im going to start mine off as positive as I can.

Good luck on all the weigh in's this week ladies & its great to have such a huge amount of support - Thanks Ladies xxx

 

[zowiey]

Thank you ladies, I know I'll be ok tomorrow, I'm just wallowing in my pit of self pity! Thank you again for your replies! I promise I won't always be moaning! xxx

 

[april05]

Good Luck tmrw xx

[Chiefjen83]

Hey Ladies,
I was wondering if I could join? DH and I have been ttc for 9 month, NTNP for way longer. I've been trying to lose weight for such a long time, especially because I know it can effect our chances of conception. At my heaviest I was 310lb and am down to 280 but have been stuck at this point for the last year, but I never give up completely!

Over christmas I had a cycle that lasted 60 plus days and my doctor seems to think there is a chance I have pcos. Up until then, since i had normal periods I assumed I didn't have it, and that I was ovulating every month. So now i'm trying to get down to 250 before I set up my first RE appointment - because honestly, I'm to embaressed to go this big.

Its so nice to see a thread that I feel like I belong in!

 

[april05]

Welcome Chiefjen,

Thanks for sharing your story. Loosing weight is soooo hard, it's great to have this thread to chat away & give each other advise & tips.

When is your appointment? Im sure you will get to your goal...xx

Good luck on your journey xx

 

[4magpies]

I had a bit of a crappy day yesterday, ate pork scratchings, sat around watch tv and even ate bread and 2 kitkat fingers. Think I needed a day off though.

Super concentrating on diet till tomorrow. Banning myself from brews, just water water water (hopefully 8 to 10 glasses) as it apparently aids weight loss!!

Hope your okay Zow.

Welcome Jen.

xxxx

 

[Love2bamummy]

Ooooh I'm aching! I did 45 mins on Jillian Michaels Wii game yesterday, then did 20 mins step on the Wii and then 20 mins Salsacise. I felt great yesterday but I'm bloody aching this morning!!

Welcome ChiefJen! We're all a little bit mad but it helps!! We have a great little support group going on here, we're all here for one another, whether it's good news, or little rants. We have weekly weigh ins so we can all encourage each other and help oneanother along the way. xx

 

[imogenwanted]

morning ladies welcom jen, hope the water helps 4magpies,
i have a bit of a dilema today, we moved in november and yesterday finally got to sort oit office and found 3 weeks worth of w8 diet food packets which i did last year, (sorry long rant)
So any way me and hb did it last year he did so well and looked fab he lost 3 stone and really stuck to it has put back on stone and not really worring what he eats, i lost 2 stone put nearly all back on,

so my question is should i go back on it and use packets up with hb so he losses a bit more, he said he would, i could do with lossing a bit quicker but im on zenical not sure if it will work,

but im scared ill just put all back on again when i run out of packets

sorry so long what would you do

 

[april05]

Morning Imogen,

Well if it was me I would use them as a kick start, when you see the weight coming off you'll want to stick with it and eat healthier...

Good luck...x
