Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

Hi ladies, welcome to the thread

How's everyone doing today?

I'm having the day to myself as I hardly slept last night, don't know if it was a mixture of excitement and worry, or just a bad night in general

Btw, the body shop have a 50% discount code going - HELLO50

It's valid until lunchtime tomorrow so I've treated myself to a few bits

I've just done my lunch, ham sandwich with a bowl of tomato and cucumber and a bowl of strawberries and white flesh nectarine for dessert ... I've only gone and ate the tomato and cucumber and the bowl of fruit and now feel too full for my sandwich

Aww I love the name of this thread
I'm TTC #1 and also trying to lose weight too! I have PCOS and need to lose at least 50lbs to start. My short term goal is 25 and it's really really slowly coming off. I've been working out and watching what I've been eating for just over 4 weeks now and I've lost 2 lbs.

So far I've had no OV so I'm hoping that weight loss will help!

And again, are you on metformin? It can help with anovulation and some say it helps with weight loss but it never helped me. Try a low carb diet too, lots say that helps dieting with pcos

Nope, I'm seeing the Dr in August and if it's still going slow I'll talk to her about it. Thanks for the advice. I'm watching carbs. Do you know what the suggested daily amount is?

I dont know sorry, I never did it myself but I know its helped a lot of ppl. Have a google and you should be able to find something.

to all, especially the newbies!

Hope you are all having a good food day today. I'm trying to keep the fibre high as possible, protein, fruit veg and as few carbs as I can. Hard to cut them out completely of course. Well, for me anyway

Why are carbs so nice???

:wave:
I'm imagining my belly melting away and turning into a baby bump. That's how I keep myself motivated at the gym lol

Lovie - about the bloating

Carbs are soooooooooooo nice but so bad for me. Mind you at the moment it's the fruit. It's giving me the worst tummy but the LLC said to really limit them at first as they give you bad belly. I love fruit, it's my snack of choice if I can't really bad things so will have to cut the bananas and strawberry back a bit whilst my tum gets used to food again.

 

[lauraclili]

Carbs are too nice!

i just wanted to let you all know that I've officially got my BFP... I think a big part of that was exercising and cutting back so that I lost weight (about 24 pounds in the end). It's taken us 17 months to get to this point so I'm thankful and scared and excited.

Hi, I recently lost my second baby in 6 months. I am so overcome with grief not understanding how this could happen to me again. I have an appointment to see my ob/gyn this Wednesday to discuss referrals to specialists who will run tests to hopefully figure out what's going on. I gained a significant amount of weight (currently bmi is in obese category) because of the PCOS and insulin resistance and I keep thinking that my weight has to be the reason why I keep losing my babies. I'm wondering if anyone else who's overweight/obese with PCOS has been able to successfully carry to full-term. I forgot to mention that I conceived both babies with clomid.

Hi

So sorry to hear about this. Are you in metformin? Theres a small bit of evidence which shows that the risk of mc can be lowered from
Pcos levels of 40% or so to normal levels. It is only one study and people mc for a number of reasons. I have pcos and am 17w at the moment (was also a clomid baby) so touch wood all is fine. Plenty of people do carry to full term with pcos so I hope next time is your keeper

Actually, I was on metformin with my last loss. It also hasn't helped me lose any weight. I'm gonna have to suck it up and cut down on the carbs . This is the most motivated I've ever been to lose weight--I really want to carry a healthy baby to term.
Congrats on the pregnancy! I hope and pray God will bless us with a healthy baby.

Hey ladies!

Hello to all the new ladies too :wave:

Well, we had a lovely time in Manchester, although my ass is about 20lbs heavier! But it was nice just being the 2 of us away from real life, even if it was just for 2 days. But, now there are NO excuses, I have to get back on track!

Hope everybody is well?

So glad you had a nice time Zowiey

I need to really focus too, so might make myself write down in here at the end of each day, exactly what I've had to eat. Though don't think it's going to be too hard to stick to, just had a spoon of Chris' cheesecake that he didn't like and it gave me the most horrendous belly ache. It's the same with anything fatty

 

[4magpies]

Glad you had a nice time Zow!

I am still struggling to lose, being really good. It's starting to get me down.

I am stuck at 14st 7! *bangs head on desk*

Think I am gonna try the not eating much at all strategy....

Bring on the hunger.
