We had to wait until after our wedding too. I hope you can get them done at your GPs office, the waiting around sucks!!!.

Hello everyone

Hows it going for you guys?

I have started back on weight wachers properly this week, I'm not going to meeting because it costs 40 pounds in sweden (!!!) so I am just trying to follow it as best I can at home

So far so good, I bought some yummy teas which I havewhen I want a little treat

Since the test with zero spermies I am doing terribly. I originally was very sad and tried looking at the bright side and ate too many brownies. Now that I have read more and it is sunk in, I am in full fledged depression. I don't care what I eat or drink. When I get home from work I lay in bed and watch tv all day. All of the good and positive changes (food, excercises) that I was making when I though I might be the cause of our fertility problems have stopped. I can barely get myself to work. I feel like crying so much more than I ever have before, and this is not the first time I have battled depression. I don't know what to do to get out of this spiral. I kinda want to be healthier, but I am too unhappy to have motivation to do anything. I work because it is survival...I am the only wage-earner at this time.

Oh sweetie, I know dieting was important but you sound v low and doesn't feel like it's your priority at the moment. I can totally understand why your motivation would be lost. Things have changed with the news which changes your priorities. It's a grieving process I think as you've lost something, doesn't mean you'll never have kids it just has to be a different way. Let yourself grieve and be kind to yourself, don't put yourself under too much pressure of what you "should" be doing. Are you and your dh talking about it?

 

[xMissxZoiex]

Oh hun

So sorry for this result . Maybe you should get in an see the GP to try help with your depression. It is not the end of the road for you, their is things like testicular drilling im not 100% sure what that's for but maybe worth looking into. If thats not an option their is always donation, It may not be with you always dreamed of but it is a way forward, If our IVF fails then we are going to go for sperm donation, Its not as scary as it sounds.

I wish you all the best hunny, Take care of yourself If you ever need to talk please Inbox me.

Does anyone feel like getting this thread back up and running? I really need to focus on the weight loss before we go back to ttc after our honeymoon next year xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

You know me I'm always up for a bit of b2bage

 

[EmmyReece]

yay Pix, thanks hun

I'm going to start fresh tomorrow morning, but still going to try and make the best choices possible today. As I have roughly 10 weeks until I go for my dress fittings, so would love to drop as much as possible and then maintain my weight until the wedding before getting going again ready for our honeymoon and really going for it with ttc

 

[xMissxZoiex]

Awww, Congratulations on the wedding, I can't believe its been almost 6 months since mine!.

I'm maintaining at the moment, I was struggling to loose any more so thought screw it what the hell ill just maintain, I'm happy were I am now but still going to try get back to were I was when I met DH. x

 

[Reba]

23 months
70lbs lost
gained more regular cycles and a BFP!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Reba that's wonderful congratulations!

 

[EmmyReece]

congratulations Reba

well done on the maintaining MissZoie and thank you, I got my dress made to measure instead of a specific size, so I know that at the very least if I don't lose any weight my dress will still fit that's really good in itself that you can maintain your weight

So, new start for me today. I've spotted a prawn and watermelon salad that I plan on trying tonight. I really do like salads so I'll probably just eat them and vary them as much as I possibly can Oh and I plan on drinking lots more water

I'm back to 367lbs, but still not as heavy as I was at the beginning of the year, which in itself is a big plus for me. Going to go for (hopefully) a big loss this week

 

[EmmyReece]

Scrap that, no new start for me today as oh has decided to be an arsey git and not go shopping because he seems to think my shopping list was £55 worth of stuff

Seriously had enough. We were looking at the maldives as a possible honeymoon last night and I said I was just going to be looking at the ones with the speedboat transfer as I didn't think I would get into the seats on a seaplane and rather than try and encourage me he said "well it's simple, lose weight". Yet when I try and start doing that he goes off on one because the shopping list is too big

 

[Lisa84]

Sorry Chris is being such an arse hun. I dont think the men i ours lives realise that a large part of successful weightloss is down to there support. It sucks that to be healthy is more expensive than convenience foods. Can you get your shopping delivered??

I had a talk with David the other day and told him i need his support. If im feeling down or have had a stressful day with the boys he will do things like bring me ben and jerries home or my favourite crisps which is lovely that he thinks of me and wants to cheer me up but i told him he has to stop doing that. He also needs to stop suggesting takeaways. As soon as he says the word takeaway thats me wanting one and i then have zero willpower to say no. He has agreed to help me as much as he can.

Chris needs to support you on this because losing weight isnt simple xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

To be fair to him he did nip out and do a small shop for me, but it frustrated me so much at the time as it made me feel awful

 

[Lisa84]

As long as he is supporting you hun thats the main thing. You need that person there so when you are feeling down or less motivated they can give you a kick up the backside

I have just made SW lasagne and chips for tea it was yummy!! I also have a spare 4 portions to freeze xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

Ooohhhh I defo need to try the sw lasagne, it sounds lovely.

I think with Chris he just doesn't think sometimes, like I said earlier about last night when I was saying about our honeymoon, that if we go to the maldives I won't be going on a seaplane transfer as I'm worried the belt won't do up and he turned around and said "it's simple, lose weight" and that really hurt me and upset me. But then it gave me the kick up the backside that I needed to get on it properly today

 

[awifey]

Ok. Let's do this!

Now…a plan I can follow in Abu Dhabi with a husband who buys chocolates and is still only 170 (lb, not kg…)?

 

[Lisa84]

Sounds like my DH lol

What have you tried before wifey? xx

 

[awifey]

Sounds like my DH lol

What have you tried before wifey? xx

Several years ago I did the Michael Thurman 6 week body makeover…it worked well and I kept of most of the weight until I moved in with dh.

I had regained a little, but was eating healthy and losing even more until the dreaded dh and I got a place together…Now I am pretty much at my max. Just got back from a week of spring break and haven't touched the scale, though I'd lost 6 kilos from Jan. to a few weeks ago. No clue right now.

I can't do the diet I did before because dh makes these things impossible.

When I was in 4th grade my mother had me on Jenny Craig (I seriously wasn't THAT overweight!!!) and was on it only a month or so, have no clue about weight loss…I was a kid!

PS I am living in Abu Dhabi for the next three months and then will repatriate in AZ.
