Bellys to Bumps

[Lil_Pixie]

Aw traskey it will be so so worth it in the end! How are you doing? Do you feel hungry or have you gotten used to it now?

This month was the first time I've ever had ov bleeding - just two little spots. That must have been what it was - and the only thing that's changed is my weight - I think we're all on the right track here I really do! Last summer when I was at my heaviest I had some cycles that were more than three months long, and in January I had a real 28 day cycle.

I know weight doesn't affect some ladies at all, but foe me I ink it wreaked havoc - although I have a lot more weight to lose!

 

[Traskey]

Lil Pix, you don't need to hide your banners on here. You need to change your ttc for 3 years to pg though

I am doing ok. I do get hungry but only when it's time to eat. Otherwise as long as you drink lots of fluids then it's ok. You just have to get through the first week and then it's fine. I hope you are eating lots of healthy things

Sounds like losing weight for you has really helped with ovulation Well done for losing the weight that you have.

Good morning ladies, how are you all?

Traskey you're doing so well! I'm sure I'd cave in and have some food, even with the deadline and all. Be very proud of yourself!

twinkle doing good here, how are you doing?

AFM my weight went down a little again today, yay! So it looks like Saturday only affected my weight for a couple of days, so that's good. Of course I had soups for lunch and dinner yesterday so I'm sure that means there was (TMI!), um, less stuff in my bowels and hence the weight loss, but still a loss is a loss! I'll try to be good next weekend even though I'm away, don't want to see the scales go up again.

You know, I'm almost exactly half way in my weight loss to get to bmi30. On the one hand it seems like I've been working at this for ages, so only half way, and on the other - yay, half way already, I can so do this! You ladies know what I mean?

 

[lovie]

strawberry congrats on hitting the half way point you have done so well, you have got this far so you know you cen get to where you want to be!

i had ww yesterday and i lost 1.2 KG this week, im pleased with that as i did have quite a few cheating days! if i keep loosing 1kg a week i will hit my target of 30 bmi on my birthday

I'm alright thanks - quite chirpy today - AF cramps have gone! Think I've put on this week but not surprised as I usually do while she's here.
Traskey - I'm proud of you too - keep it up girl!
Strawberry - woohoo on getting to your halfway point!
Lovie - well done on your weightloss this week!
Lil Pixie - show us your banners!!

Hey everyone else! Hope you're all just busy - esp Emmy with the new house!

 

[Traskey]

Congratulations to Twinkle and Strawberry who have hit or exceeded their half way mark with their weight loss. That's a great achievement girls

Lovie, well done on losing 1.2kg. You must be pleased with that too

Hope you've all enjoyed the sunshine today. It's a beautiful day!

 

[Lisa84]

Well done Lovie and Twink you have done so well

I've got SW tonight i it's gonna be a bad one. I have had 2 really bad weeks and didn't go last week so i'm gonna be hit with the full 2 weeks tonight I'm expecting at least 5lbs on xxx

 

[cranberry987]

its better that you go than not tho, dont worry so much, itll come off again.

 

[Lisa84]

Yup i know just sick of having good weeks followed by bad so they keep cancelling each other out. I've been around the same 4lbs since xmas xx

 

[cranberry987]

Hi

Just read a couple of articles about ivf with bmi over 30. As long as it's under 35 then pregnancy rates are the same, just that mc rates are higher.

I hope you find your motivation again soon Lisa. Do you stay for the meetings or just weigh in. Sometimes the meetings help (sometimes they don't!)

Oh that's goodish news. My scales weight has me at bmi 35 today so that's better than where I started. I was told the private ivf clinics will consider any bmi but they prefer 35 or under.

 

[Lisa84]

I stop every other week coz i have to rush off to work on the other one. They do help me loads!!! xx

 

[twinkle1975]

Thanks for the congrats girls - I feel a bit of a fraud though as the end of my ticker is only where I need to be by August - no where near where I need to be for anything to happen!

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Good evening ladies!

lovie yay for 1,2kg, well done! With a couple of not-so-good days that's an amazing result!

Lisa I was in the same situation about a month back, and it was unbelievably frustrating! Going back and forth within the same few lbs is the worst. The way out of it for me was to get really strict, see the weight start coming off reliably, which has kept me motivated so far at least. to you

twinkle pffft, you've done an amazing job, and it's good to look at our goals in parts. The whole of it can be way overwhelming. I'm sure I won't be happy at bmi30, if I ever get there, but that's my first proper goal. On the web service I use to track my calories and exercise, I always put the next 5kg as my goal - so now it's 95 kg, which is 0.6kg away! Then I'll put in 90, and so on. Helps to make it seem more manageable.

Traskey getting down to bmi35 in such a short period of time is amazing! I hope you stop and think about it, and give yourself credit for the hard work you've done.

AFM today's been a good day, both with my eating and exercise. Trying to be extra good in preparation for my weekend!

 

[twinkle1975]

I decided I want to be a proper part of the club so I got a Bellys to Bumps ticker!

 

[Traskey]

YAY TWINKLE!!!!!!!!! You've got to have a ticker

Strawberry, you are losing weight every week, can't get any better than that

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Aww I want my bellys to bumps ticker back - I didn't mean to delete it - I just got a bit giddy

I've fallen completely off the wagon and gained three pounds! Much better today though lots of lovely fruit and soup!

Thanks for saying I can keep my ticker ladies - I just didn't want anyone to think I was rubbing it in, you know? And I don't want to leave you guys at all!! I haven't even dipped my toe into 1st tri - I'm far too scared!

Twinkle I completely agree with strawberry - your doing amazingly - and making your goals more achievable will help you to stick with it.

I miss Emmy - I hope she's having a lovely time moving in to her new home! And I hope she's back super soon!

 

[lovie]

hia

lisa i hope your meeting went ok, tomorrows a new day, I hate going to meetings when i think i might have gained, that is why i stoped ww before i just felt so resentfull paying to feel bad but this time i am trying to use that feeling as motivation! lets see how long it lasts lol

twinkle you have done great hun! half way down your ticker is a fab aceivement! I will join you in having an "oficial" bellies to bumps ticker next week when i (hopefully) get to change my weight!

cranberry thats great news about the pregnancy rates, am i right that you said it is 50%? is that the same for everyone or does that change depending on anything other than age and a bmi over 35?

strawberry well done for having a good day on calories and excersise!

trasky yay for having a bmi of 35! you are doing so amazingly on the new diet i admire you so much!

lil pixie your tickers give me lots of hope i hope you are feeling well I wonder if there is a place in the 1st tri for ladies with a higher than average bmi, id come stalk you guys if there is to get an idea of what to exect from weight gain and doctors apointments and so on

afm I have been sticking to my points the last couple of days, if i can cheat and loose 2.5 pounds a week consistantly i will be happy! im waching the bigest looser, i shouldnt because it makes me want to loose 8 pounds a week! i want to be on the bigest looser! so much

xxx

 

[cranberry987]

I think that 50% was under age 35, age is rly the thing which affects the success rates it seems more than BMI. I think its a good idea to get under 35 but Im not gonna stress about getting under 30 now as Im paying anyway.

Thats average tho so some clinics have better, some worse.

Had a bit of an upset tummy yday so lost the 1lb which I gained last week, then I went out to Yo Sushi and had an icecream afterwards oops

 

[Traskey]

Yes, the success rates get lower and lower the older you get. At 39 it sucks but at 40 it seriously sucks!!!! Moan at your doctors girls not to make you wait too long grrrr
