Bellys to Bumps

I don't think it matters how many veggies you eat. I'm allowed to eat all the non starchy veggies I want

I gained 2lbs at WI
Oh well it was fun

That's not bad at all over Christmas!!

I'm going to try to stop thinking of having little treats as cheating. If I cheat I feel guilty and it puts my whole week in a downer till the next weigh in. Realistically I have at least 4st (56lbs) to lose so this isn't going to be a quick diet. I'm instead going to allow myself small luxuries every now and then.

So last night I had a bath and took one thorntons chocolate truffle with me, 68 calories of yummyness and no guilt! Feels so much better than avoiding everything for 6 weeks and then stuffing my face!

WI day for me tomorrow, eek!

 

[Reba]

Good luck!!

I'm back to sw tonight. Has to be evenings now I'm working I think. I lost 2.5at last year not rly trying, gained 7lb over Xmas

 

[cranberry987]

Wasn't too bad actually, don't like that group tho, not v welcoming at all....

 

[Lisa84]

Aw that sucks! Are there no other groups where you live? I cant wait to get back to SW xx

 

[cranberry987]

Yeh there's loads I just wanted to get started tonight so went to any group.

I've been eating this rosti from wait rose which the sw app says is 5 syns but I suspect that wrong as it's far too nice.....

 

[xMissxZoiex]

How many syns are you having per day Cran?

 

[cranberry987]

Supposed to be 15 per day but I'm estimating low until I can check this rosti. I only get one extra hex now, it was awesome earlier when I got 4 extra, literally couldn't get em down me.
Who's next to weigh in this week?

 

[xMissxZoiex]

I have to wait untill i get my gym membership sorted, my stupid bank keeps rejecting direct debits!, Its driving me crazy!, there is more than enough money there to cover it my bank just wont let them take it!. so ive got to get that sorted and i will be weighing in later in the week hopefully.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Ill be weighing in in the morning :-/

 

[Lisa84]

Good luck Pix xx

I'm crazy to be a little disappointed, right?? First week of a diet I've always lost much more than that. I've had af this week too though so maybe ill get another good week next week. I hope I've been doing enough!

I've downloaded an exercise plan on myfitnesspall to run 5k in 8 weeks. Right now I can't run 5 meters so I'm hoping it works! It's got different tasks for each day so I'm gonna really put lots of effort in to each task and hopefully really learn to run! If I could jog I feel like that would be time for me to be by myself and relax, does that sound mental? Since my dh was made redundant I'm literally never on my own and I'm going a bit stir crazy

 

[Lisa84]

Yes you are crazy 3lb is a fab first week loss

Good luck with the 5K. I cant run from the living room to the kitchen haha It doesnt sound mental it sounds like an ideal opportunity to get some alone time and get fit xxx

 

[xMissxZoiex]

3lbs loss is fantastic!! I'm sure it would have been more if AF wasnt in town! xxxx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

The first day of learning to jog went well. It was hard, but I tried really hard and I'm actually looking forward to doing more

I think I need to get some real trainers though, I wear skate shoes and my shins were killing me!

 

[AMP26]

So I'm starting my diet TODAY!!! I figure before I try IVF, I want to try to get my BMI down. I'm at a 40 today (although some websites say 38.4... I'm going to go with the higher one!)

I wanted to join this tread so I could get some encouragement and cheer on others as we try to lose

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Welcome amp

I have 56 lbs to lose so we'll hopefully be able to offer each other lots of encouragement. We've had a few ladies who've lost weight for ivf and I'm sure if/when they mosey by they'll tell you about it. There's been tons (myself included) who've been ltttc and managed to get a natural bfp after losing some weight. Try not to think too far ahead and get overfaced - 10% makes a huge difference

 

[xMissxZoiex]

Welcome AMP!


I've been looking up how much i need to weigh to be in the 'healthy weight' catagory and i need to loose another 70lbs!!! even then i will be at the top end of healthy weight! I've already lost 32lbs!. I'm now aiming to be 'overweight' because im currently 'obese' I hate that word!. Another 33lbs and i will be overweight lol.

 

[AMP26]

Thanks for the welcome ladies

I know how you feel! I lost 14 pounds last year... but I would honestly have to lose 80 more to get down to "healthy". I too am aiming for the low end of "overweight" since I'm borderline "morbidly obese'. lol... I never actually look at myself like that, but that's what those darn charts say!!! Last night my husband told me he would start going to the gym with me, so hopefully that means I'll actually go! Two years ago, I lost 40 pounds and I felt great! I had so much more energy. I know its just the getting started part that stinks! So I'm starting my mornings off better than I have in a long time. A decaf tea with lemon and honey and two hard boiled eggs Hopefully I won't be *too* hungry come lunch time!!!
