Bellys to Bumps

[lovie]

welcome skyler well done on the weight you have allready lost! have you been following a specific diet? love your wedding pic in your avatar, you guys look really happy

yay for a new parenting journal lil pixie hopefully by the end of 2012 bellies to bumps will have enough boys for a football team

we are going to meet some friends in town this afternoon at a cafe that does the most amazing hot chocolate... i need to resist as its probably about 2 days worth of points! i will just take a sip of håkans and order a coke or something

hope everyone is having a great weekend

Hi lovie , thank you for the welcome and thank you for the comment on my wedding photo it was the best day of my entire life so far i love my hubby to bits lol

as far as the diet goes i have been following low gi diet but now have upped my game and cut carbs down to only having wholewheat rice with things like chicken and lots of veggies.
breakfast is either a yoghurt or bowl of porridge and for lunch i eat tuna and shredded carrot/red cabbage.
this is only a taster of recipes i use though. also cut out all fizzy pop and only drink water, squash and i drink decaffe coffee to get me through my shifts on placement as a student nurse. i do snack throughout the day on apple pieces and dried apricots, sunflower seeds.

my downfall is whitebread and chocolate so i have to make sure i do not touch these at all as once i do it is game over lol weightloss is slow at the moment though so i need to plough on lol

Welcome Skyler

Welcome Skyler, good luck with the weight loss and we're all in the same boat so understand.

I will definitely be sticking with you ladies and I will officially start the diet on monday once i've convinced my boyfriend to finish the last of the christmas food (I won't be able to resist having any lol) so all that temptation is out of the window.

So all the bumps on here ended up being boys eh? My boyfriend and I really really want a girl, but obviously we're sure we will be grateful for either but fingers crossed for the bump and a girl xxx and this thread just goes to show it can be done

Just wanted to say that i purhcased just dance 2 some time ago and now have upgraded to just dance 3 .
i try and do at least 5 indvidual dances per evening and i give myself sunday night off.
if you like to dance it is so much fun . plus my hubby is competitive so he has to beat me so funny watching a 39 year old blokey bloke dancing to calafornia girls by katy perry lmao


just thought id share this as it makes me smile when im feeling a little big glum x

 

[lovie]

skylar that sounds so funny! you must film him secretly! as you can tell im a little bit of an evil OH! sounds like a good dance plan tho.. fun excersise is the best!

sounds like a good plan to eat up all the christmas food buttonsbabe.. its so hard having temptation around the house! i tell my OH not to buy nice treats because i have no will power... if there is sweets in the cupbord i will eat them... but if i have to go to the shop to buy them i wont bother... my laziness overides my desire to eat bad food!!

had a little treat tonight a takeaway.. i choose japanese food as i think its the most healthy... still a bit naughty.. oh and i ate some pringles and a christmas candy caine and a mini magnum oh well i can say that was my weekly points!

its so late, just waiting for oh to ave 30 mins on the computor game he is addicted to then bed for us

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Skylar - your diet sounds so so good! I wish I ate so well, I think I'm doing well with brown toast and low fat cheese spread! The dancing sound like great fun! My dh suggested we get wii fit, and the Zumba game for the wii so we can do it together - it'd definately be a laugh since we both have two left feet!!

I havent done any excercise yet. I'm not really sure but I don't think I'm supposed to so soon after a section. My hv even told me not to walk too far - that's my excuse and I'm sucking to it!!

 

[Buttonsbabe86]

i was considering getting the wii fit too lil_pixie, with all the choices of exercises available and all in the privacy in your own home! Bonus!

Lovie, all year we never have any bad food in the house like crisps or sweets etc. But boyfriend always had a thing for biscuits but when I said it wasn't needed it was just habitual with his hot drinks he soon managed to cut them out.
It was just christmas, for some reason my family and his family decided to give us MASSIVE food hampers instead of presents. Shame I hadn't told them about eating healthily for fertility purposes, worst gifts I could have received this year lmao

Good luck to us all xxx

 

[skyler28]

I recommend investing in a wii as on those days where you dont feel like going to the leisure centre you can just stick it on and do erxcersise at home .

i have the just dances, zumba with belt and the wii fit balance board to be honest i dont really get on too well with the zumba but balance board is great as it weighs you and does your bmi also.

i normally swim in the week aswell but i havent been going much as bored on my own but i have now roped sis in law to going with me so back to swimming on monday yayyyyyyyyyyyy


also one of my kitties fell in sink of washing up this afternoon he is okay not hurt but it was funny as he was sitting there on worksurface covered in bubbles

 

[Lil_Pixie]

im not too sure about the sumba myself, but doing it with my dh (picture biker covered in tattoos lol) sounds like a laugh.

ive been really bad with food today! had a bacon butty at my mums house . . oops!

finally ive started my parenting journal, done my birth story and a pic of little man (and me with a bump the size of a small country, not too sure theres hope for my belly after that lol)

 

[skyler28]

Hi all. I would like to join. I'm Regal 32 and overweight. Recommended by Lovie.

I start WW this week. Doc says I have to lose at least 25lbs/11.36 kg but my personal goal is 50lbs/22.73 kg

I am very nervous as I don't like to link my fertility to my weight but I know it most likely plays a factor in my recurring BFNs. Also I want to be as healthy as possible when carrying my first LO.

I look forward to chatting with you all.

 

[twinkle1975]

Hello Regalpeas!

 

[Regalpeas]

Hi Twinkle :wave:

Has anyone gotten their BFP in this thread after losing a significant amout of weight?

 

[cranberry987]

Just........been........running........think.......I.......might........die.....

I fricking hate running too but you can definitely feel it working!

I got preggo after losing 3 st but it did take clomid to do it so not sure of it's related. Planning on losing at least another two once I get round to actually starting the diet again. Think I need to get the wii sorted. Maybe start with Pilates then build up to Zumba. Im so unfit at the moment, muscles feel like I've woken up from a coma.

Any new wii games which are fun? Have a dance one, zumba, the yoga/Pilates/strength one. Mmm. Not sure what else I have. Good to have variety really as its so easy to get bored.

Welcome to everyone that is new!!

Oooh almost everyone in this thread had boys so far!? DH says he wants a little girl because then he'd have two beautiful girls in his life I'm fine with a boy first and then a girl. Really we'll take either gender after this much time trying!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
