Bellys to Bumps

[Lisa84]

Yup PCOS does make it very difficult to lose weight. They say that a low GI diet is good for PCOS so id google that and see how u get on xx

AFM im sat here is a state of shock. I actually lost half a pound. I have eaten nothin but crap for 2 weeks and i lose half!!! I was expectin at least 5 on and that was no exageration!

Just 8.5lbs now to get to 30BMI. Sounds loads better than a stone xxx

 

[Lisa84]

Good luck Laura xx

Tarkwa - Thanks, and sorry about your post I always haatte when that happens. Lots of practice sounds like a good prescription to me, What does metformin do? Should I see my General doctor for that or my Gyno? My Gyno prescribed me one medication for PCOS but didn't have any weight loss recommendations. I'm thinking of going to a nutritionist and getting their opinion on the whole matter, seems like the best plan if I can find one who's not an asshat, which was what I got last time I went to one.

Lisa - PCOS makes me sad, I just want it gonegonegone. Other than being overweight I am healthy, all my blood tests come back in the normal ranges, no blood sugar or cholesterol or any of that. Good luck on your 8.5 pounds! I know you can do it, eek! 30 BMI is my goal too and if you can do it then so can I! What was your starting BMI, if you don't mind me asking?

When i was first referred for fertility treatment my BMI was above 35 so i had to lose weight and get it below 35 before they would treat me. Are you from the US? Here in the UK we get a free go of IVF on our national health system (NHS) but your BMI needs to be below 30.

They say that lsoing weight really is the best thing to help with PCOS xx

I'm sure if you googled microwave cooking and dieting there would be loads of suggestions. Some I can think of are jacket potato, steamed veg, baked beans, soup, pasta n sauce can be done in a microwave, hmm, loads I bet

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Oooh I love baked potatoes!! Do you think I could have one for breakfast?

Ooh new ladies - I love it! Hi!!

Lisa well done on your loss, 8.5 lb is way better, you can def do it!!

Beffy I don't really know anything about pcos but Crans right you can still make some good choices with a microwave. And then bythe time you get gone you could have already started on your way

I'm going shoppi tonight to stock up on healthy lovelies - I need snacks and small meals though - any ideas ladies? I really want those mini packs of maltloaf but that's not good mmmmm salad!! Haha I'm such a loser I love h payday shop!

 

[cranberry987]

Crackers, Allpn light bars, mini ryvita, mini packs of twiglets, mini individual cheese, packs of Unsalted nuts, raisins, string cheese (Euw, but you might like it), the usual yogurts or fruit, pickled onions. Mmmm hungry now

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Hahah thanks! I just had a Muller rice mmmm

Welcome new ladies! This is an awesome thread with great support, I'm sure you'll be happy here.

Lisa well done on losing and not gaining! Sometimes the scales suprise us in a good way (though I have to say that doesn't happen to me very often ).

I'm trying very hard to keep my head and keep on eating healthy, but having a very hard time with it. Maybe I just need a good kick in the behind from you lovely ladies!

 

[Traskey]

Morning everyone, what is up with the servers lately? Sheesh!

Welcome to Laura Good luck with your ttc and weight loss journey. Everyone on here is very helpful and supportive

Lisa, great going on not gaining and losing! You can get rid of those last few pounds no problem at all.

I'm having my hair cut today as a reward for all my hard work on this rotten diet. It works but I would do anything for a chicken salad, how sad am I

Strawberry, step away from all the chocolate, or is it something else you are craving?

LP, hope you find something that doesn't make you feel

 

[Lisa84]

Wow Trask you are doing well. If i hadn't have eaten anything for ages i would want someone much worse for me than a chicken salad lol

The servers are seriously annoying me! I've lost so any posts!

Looks like it is going to be another nice sunny weekend. What is everyone doing with their easter? xx

 

[twinkle1975]

Hurrah Lisa - well done! I'm hoping for a similar miracle at WI tonight!
Hello New ladies - lovely to meet you!
I'm working Easter morning but then going to a BBQ - any ideas on what I can take that wouldn't be too awful points/calories wise?

 

[cranberry987]

I do actually know someone who ate a jacket potato for every meal INCLUDING BREAKFAST! Crazy.

Hmm, for a BBQ I would buy some brown pitas and fill with salad then plop some bbq chicken in there. Or a pasta salad with not much sauce.

Oh dear tho... the Lindt chocolate balls have found me. Just ate 5 for no good reason.

 

[Traskey]

Good luck with the WI tonight Twinkle.

Cranberry, that idea sounds yummy!

We are stripping wallpaper over Easter and painting but hopefully we can take a few hours off to do something nice.

 

[Lisa84]

Good luck at WI twinkle. I'd take chicken or maybe some stuffed peppers i bet they would be nice BBQd

I think we might paint our bedroom over easter. It has a horrible bit of damp in the corner thats annoying me. Although if the weather is like this i wont want to be stuck indoors decorating xx

 

[lovie]

hi guys im sorry i have not been around for ages! i have been trying to keep up with all the bfp news recently through journals its so exciting that there has been so many spring BFP's for bellies to bumps ladies!! congrats girlies

well done for getting a loss lisa you are so so close to your goal now!

every other advert on tv today has been for lindt cranberry... if i had any to hand they would be gone!

i had my weigh in on tuesday and lost 3.5 pounds i was amazed! this week i am stuggling a bit, i have loads of food social occasions this weekend but i will do my best to count all the points

my bmi went below 35 for the first time in ages at my last weigh in so I was quite proud

hello to beffy and laura I have just started ww beffy and i love it! its not super quick weight loss but if you want to loose weight over a longish timescale i think it is great! id definatly advise giving it ago, if you are stuck with only the microwave they do ready meals for the microwave and also fruit is free so you can snack on as much of that as you like!!

hugs to all xxx

 

[Traskey]

Lovie, congratulations on getting your BMI under 35. That's got to feel good

 

[Beffy]

Thanks for all the advice guys I've bought some oatmeal and am going to be eating oatmeal with a little bit of peanut butter in it and maybe a banana if I feel like it.

Lisa- I am from the US, unfortunately. Not a fan of our health care situation, but nothing I can do about it.
Those Lindt truffles are definitely one of my down falls, must resist! And it wouldn't be that bad if I could just eat one but it's impossible, ugh.

Lovie, congrats on BMI lower than 35! I might try WW, I know someone who does it so I'll ask her about it and see what she thinks.

 

[cranberry987]

Beffy, I'd try something like

Breakfast yogurt and melon
Lunch chicken salad (use pre cooked deli chicken meat)
Dinner steamed veg and a jacket potato with tuna
Snack on fruit- stuff like melon, apples, lower sugar fruit

That's all microwave cookable - might need a special dish for the veg but until you get one could have jacket with salad - nicer weather now so it's salad time!
