Bellys to Bumps

[Traskey]

Aww Dodger, so sorry to hear your news I wish it had been a better outcome for you.

I am back on the diet bandwagon. I have my books out and am planning meals but the house is still full of 2 giant sticks of Jaffa cakes, half a christmas cake, mince pies, chocs, cheese and pate. A few onions and potatoes. Hardly condusive to the diet
I need to do a shop soon! I've gained a lot over the last two weeks, although some of that is the ivf meds but need to get it under control.

Good luck girlies

 

[Traskey]

Oh and i'm not joining a group. I am saving the money and doing it with the support of you guys as my weigh in!

Cran, can't believe you lost all the pregnancy weight already

 

[twinkle1975]

Dodger I am so sorry - sending you big hugs.

Emmy - glad you've got some PMA going on - we'll do it this year!!

Trask - what does down regging involve??? (Just seen we're in your siggie - that's lovely!!)

 

[Reba]

It's been a while... rough few months and totally gained weight. I'm back now and losing!


Goal 100lbs but set my 1/2 way goal as 50 and there will be a party at 25lbs Almost at 10lbs now!!

2012 will be a great year!!

 

[lovie]

hello all

happy new year and im officially back on the diet.... gained about a stone over christmas why oh why was i so silly!!

so next week i will go for my 1st ww weigh in, i hope i have lost a bit of the christmas weights by then!

I have given up alcohol till feb the 16th when we go skiing (cant go skiing without the afterski!) its only a family holiday so it wont be a crazy one but a beer in the sauna after a hard day on the slopes is well deserved i think!!

may 2012 be a special year for all of us!

 

[dodgercpkl]

Thank you ladies. It's a day by day thing...

Amy - I am working hard on losing my holiday weight gain too. I know we both can do it!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I'm back on the diet as of today (and back on bnb after a looong absence!!)

I've been super super lucky and right now my little man is three weeks old and I weigh exactly what I weighed the day I found out I was expecting. I'm so pleased because the diet I started with you lovely ladies last new year was my first ever attempt at losing weight - I wasn't looking forward to starting over. Picking up where I left off seems so much nicer!!

Cran - are you still using your pg journal? It used to be in my cp but it's gone away and I don't know what I might have done to lose it.

Not really sure if I'll be welcome back here since I'm looking to lose some belly but not so much after a bump just now. I got so much support on here before, but I don't want to be upsetting/offending anyone. . .

 

[EmmyReece]

you won't be offending anyone at all hun, stick around please. And who knows, further down the line (who knows how long) you may want to turn that belly to a bump again

 

[twinkle1975]

Welcome back people!

My journals https://www.babyandbump.com/parenting-journals/828994-cranberrys-muffin-22.html#post14831873 now

Im rly bad at posting in other ppls journals now as any down time I'm sitting in a darkened room but I do read them!

Lost a lb but ate cake today so will see how that affects things. Planning on going 'swimming' next week ie walking up and down in the pool

I'm probably wtt now as want to crack on with #2. Took ages to grow this one don't wanna wait too long then have to ttc for another 18m. Would like to lose more weight this year then start trying next winter probably.

Hey ladies,

I thought I would come and join your belly to bump group as I desperately need some help and encouragment and you all seem a lovely bunch

My name is Nicola, I am 25 and my boyfriend and I have been trying to conceive for the last 3years and desperate to be a mummy and daddy!
I had my 2nd appointment with the fertility clinic today and they said that they will not continue anymore investigations until I have lost 4 1/2 stone by November. There are no ifs, buts or maybes. She said I have to have lost the weight by november to be seen again and carry on the investigations. If I haven't then she will take me off her list as she believes that i'm not taking it seriously.

I didn't particuarly think i was overweight i wear a size 12-14 and I think I will look if I lose that amount of weight. I am very concerned how I can do it safely as I have suffered with Anorexia and bulimia in the past and have only recovered really in the last couple of years and am going to worry that with this pressure to lose this much weight that i will regress into bad habits. Please help.

Anyone had to lose that much of weight in that short period of time and on the cheap as well. As I lost my job this week, so will no longer be able to afford the gym :'(

All suggestions welcome.

p.s I HATE HATE HATE running in public!

p.s.s I have an appointment on the 30th of January to have surgery to remove my Submucosal fibroid, and need to arrange HSG with next period. Have any of you had the surgery and anyone gained a bump after it?

Sorry about all the questions. xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[cranberry987]

What's your bmi at the momentand what bmi would you be after 4.5st loss? Seems a bit extreme threatening to take you off the list. Sounds like a lot to lose but it's doable with a normal 2 lb per week loss (I think, maths brain not working) so I don't think you'd need to do anything too extreme, just normal dieting and maybe join the local council gym -see if they do any discounts/free for people on Job seekers

Im continuing my hard work clearing the house of Xmas crap, lost 1lb just from not eating but it could be more if I sorted things out a bit more.

 

[twinkle1975]

Wow!!!! That sounds crazy!! I'm a size 24 and my hospital has said they won't do IVF or anything until I've lost the weight but they've done an HSG already. Do you know what your BMI is?

 

[lovie]

hello lovelies

lil pixie massive congrats on the birth of your baby boy i for one would love to have you back, you ladies are such an inspiration to me

good idea to get cracking with the ttc #2 soonish cran

buttonsbabe heelo and welcome :wave: im so sorry to here your doctor has said you have to loose 4.5 stone... even if you are at a weight where you need to to fit into the under bmi30 rule its a really irresponsible way for them to say it given your history with eating disorders. I havnt lost that much weight but as of before christmas i had lost 3 stone (gained half a stone over christmas) i did it by going to weight watchers and walking whenever i could... i too hate public running!

the initial omg i have gained 3 stone over christmas panic is gone... i think its more like 6 pounds... the other weight must have been water/actual food in my tummy...

i fancy a glass of wine so much tonight luckily we have none and live in sweden so no wine shops are open after 6!

 

[Buttonsbabe86]

Aw you lot are lovely and yes my bmi is 36.2. but I have a lot of weight to lose although 2lbs per week doesn't seem too extreme and does feel do-able, but yes I was furious when they said that about the weight esp because of my past. But also because at my 1st appointment I had a different lady and the weight didn't seem an issue. But this was the senior consultant on the fertility clinic so couldn't really argue.

I was asked to do my HSG as well since april but my periods have almost been constant due to a fibroid, so as soon as I can spot a break in the period I will book as at least that will be some answers and I also have surgery on the 30th to remove the fibroids.

So do you ladies feel like weight watchers help then? Being unable to drive I already walk everywhere, but I was thinking with the extra time on my hands now I might try and go swimming more as I actually enjoy that exercise lol

 

[Reba]

Lovie glad it wasn't 3stone over Christmas! Phew 6lbs isn't horrible it should come off quickly enough.

This week's WI wasn't exciting as I have AF (OMG OMG OMG first real af in 8 months!!!) so I think I'm retaining fluids. Hoping next week will show a 3-4lb loss to make up for this week

 

[lovie]

good luck with next weeks wi reba af allways plays nasty tricks with the scales so unfair as if its not bad enough anyway!

buttonsbabe weight watchers has helped me... i end up feeling like i bloody well paid for that meeting im not going to miss it so i end up eating healthily even tho i dont want to! 2 pounds is really doable especially with all the walking and then some swimming added on! stick with us on here and we will try to help you keep the weight loss sensible! there have been times on here when the ladies have said your eating to little or you deserve a little treat, it really helps that we are all loosing weight aiming for the same thing

talking of aiming for the same goal am i right that all the ladies that were on bellies to bumps went on to have boys? cran tarkwa lil pixie strawberry.... any more? this thread must make boys hopefully another bath of blue bfp's soon

 

[skyler28]

hi girls do you mind if i join in on this thread could do with some support trying to loose this weight xxxxx sometimes it gets too much at one point i was verging on 23 stone so i have already lost some weight but its really hard weightgain was initially to the medication i was on for my epilepsey but also the insulin resistance hasnt helped. i am however hitting this battle of the bulge with avengance this year and I WILL HAVE LOST MY WEIGHT lol

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Thanks so much lovie!

Yep, I think we did all have little boys (well, not so little in my case lol)

I think I must still be losing a little bit of baby weight, Ive lost 4lb in the last three days. Lol I know bfing shifts some calories but I doubt that can continue! Still, it's 4lb less to lose!

Cran, I'm just working my way through your journal - its taking me a little while becaus your journals always move so fast!! I'll be starting my parenting journal I think on Monday

Lovie I'm glad you didn't gain as much as you thought, 6lbs for a good Christmas is well worth it! It'll be off again in no time!

 

[cranberry987]

I'll summarise - bf is a nightmare, rich needs to grow up (he now has), colic and mastitis gahh. And there's some stuff about it being lovely and some pics hehe

I have insulin resistance too, or I did, I dunno getting tested again in two weeks. It makes it super hard to lose weight but is helped if you do lose so just the most stupid thing ever! Slowly slowly tho and you'll get there.

I saw something on money saving expert about how youcan get online ww for free as they have reduced and cash back and stuff. Should be able to find it if you google it.
