Bellys to Bumps

[twinkle1975]

Hello lovely ladies!!! And a special hello to the newbies!
Sorry I've been absent for a bit - things have been a bit manic.
Emmy - well done on the exercise - something is definitely better than nothing!
Matthew went for his second SA on Thursday - his birthday! - bless him he was really nervous & the bare room they put him in wasn't helpful!!

How are the rest of you doing?

 

[EmmyReece]

Hi, my name is Emma and I am 29 years.I am 20 stone and 5 foot 7. I have been ttc with my Dh who is 45 for 6.5 years. We are under a consultant at the local hospital. I have endo and dh has a low sperm count. I am hoping for a miracle. They have told me I need to loose weight. The problem is I need too loose 7.5 stone. I am finding I have totally lost my motivation to loose the weight and had became very complacent with my situation. until this week when I held my god soon in my arms and could of cried. Everyone I know is having babies and I keep thinking. What is wrong with me? Am I really that bad a person. People say to me ' stop thinking about it and it will happen' .
I have come on to talk to like minded people who will support and not patronize me. I hope you can help. Sorry it is very long.
Em xx

Hey Chillie - we definitley won't patronise you, you're not a bad person and we'll be as supportive as we can!
I was 19.13 when we started ttc and wasn't ovulating. DH lazy swimmers so we're in a similar situation to you. I've lost 2 and a half stone so far on weightwatchers and it seems to have kick started my system but still no BFP.
You have our permission to punch anyone who tells you to stop worrying & it'll happen!

Have you got any plans for how you're going to lose some weight? We've tried a variety of methods here!

 

[EmmyReece]

Emma you have come to the right place hun, the ladies on the this thread (and even on this whole forum) are very supportive and will offer any advice they can

It makes me mad when people say to stop thinking about it just ignore them hun and keep up your focus. Have you made any changes to diet / exercise since you saw your godson? Did you get a picture of you holding him? See I find that when I feel down if I look at a picture of me holding my cousin's little girl when she was a baby helps to spur me on.

You can do it hun, and we're all here to help and support in anyway that we can xx

Aww lovely pic Emmy!

 

[EmmyReece]

it's from just over a year ago before I started the weight loss thing, I'm half a stone lighter than I was in that pic, it would have been more if I hadn't put all that weight back on

Welcome Chilli

to anyone that says, "Relax and it will happen!"

 

[Ambydawn84]

Hey ladies! I have been stalking this thread for the last few days and I really want to join in, or at least try to! I am new to Baby and Bump and not to into posting a lot yet. I have at least 75 lbs to lose (a little over 5 stone) before I personally feel comfy with going any further with TTC. My FS said 10% of my body weight would be a great start (so 30 lbs). I think I need to lose more like 75 to 100, but we will see what happens. I have PCOS, so my plan is to try low carb and exercise. I am also going to talk to my doctor about metformin, even though I DO NOT like its side affects . Ok, well thanks for letting me ramble... Lots of Luck to you all!!!!

 

[cranberry987]

Gawd. Anyone who says relax and it'll happen needs a slap tbh. A) sec needs to happen and it's pretty hard to relax when you HAVE to do it because you're ovulating NOW and b) the process of ttc with issues is so stressful and c)just shut up.

I know that stress hormones play a part in things but as if it's that easy 'oh ok I'll stop constantly thinking about it *magicwand*'

 

[twinkle1975]

Hey Amby - you're very welcome here!

I definitely think we need to form a posse and hunt down people who say relax or stop worrying!!

I'm having a pretty crappy couple of days. I don't really know why but I'm feeling really down. I've been wearing the same pjs for the last 48 hours, I've eaten everything in the house and I've just ordered a dominos as it means I don't have to go out of the house

 

[EmmyReece]

ohhh hun huge coming your way

I'm online if you want a chat or a rant

 

[twinkle1975]

Thanks honey xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I feel like crap

What have I done to myself??

I've just been looking through old photos from when I went to tunisia in 2003, I know it was 8 years ago, but compared to what I look like now, I looked amazing back then. I think this may very well be the smack in the face that I need

The pic isn't very good, but this is one of my favourites that was taken while we were there

[cranberry987]

sorry youre both feeling so crap. have a bit of a wallow as its sometimes needed, then take a deep breath and draw a line under things. cant look back so just look forwards. onwards and upwards

and big hugs

 

[Lisa84]

sorry you are both feeling so poop

Emmy use the picture as your goal. You know you can be that weight so stick the pic on your fridge or use it as your wallpaper on your phone. Im thinking of doin that with one of my skinny pics so that when i go to ring for a takeaway or raid the fridge ill know why i am doin this and what i can achieve if i try
