Congratulations Reba, that's great news.

I think if your OH/DF/DH isn't on board with the weight loss you are fighting a loosing battle, He needs to be supportive in every way. You shopping list will be more when you are trying to eat healthy balanced diet. I hope he comes round and starts being more supportive. xxxx

I was apart of this thread in the beginning and had to take a step back due to a loss in my family.
Sadly, I gained all my weight back, and then some! So here I am again. I see alot of new names.

 

[EmmyReece]

hi Pinkee so sorry for your loss

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Hi pinkee!

Urgh I'm so not feeling it right now. I'm going to join sw I think but I can't afford it till payday on the 23rd. Part of me wants to start now, part of me (the sulky part) thinks I'm having a couple of weeks of eating shit and I just don't care.

I think if I start now and do a WI at home then join group I'll count my WI as the official weight/lbs lost and I'm not sure the group would benefit me if I don't take it seriously enough. So I'm avoiding my scales so I can join and use that weight. And eat shit until then

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

That is WONDERFUL NEWS!!! Congratulations!!!

I was on this thread a while back.
Starting in August 2012, Over 4-5 months, Lost almost 40 pounds, bringing my BMI to 30 (just overweight and not obese anymore lol)

Started getting regular 35 day cycles after YEARS of 100+ day annovulatory cycles with PCOS, and after 7 natural ovulatory cycles, (It took us Ltttc over 3.5 YEARS total!!! But as soon as I lost the weight, that's what did it for me ) I've had a few cp's while on clomid and never made it past 4+2 with spotting. Now 5+1 and all signs look good.

I'm trying to stay healthy now by eating healthy and walking at least a 5k 3 times a week with my friend. It's actually very relaxing

GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THE WEIGHT LOSS GIRLS AND MANY S TO COME!!!!

Ok so today has been a bit of a write off food wise. Not a disaster, but not as good as it should have been. So tomorrow, I plan on being super good and having a focused day

I have 12 weigh ins until my dress fittings. Now, do I set myself a target of 14lbs or aim a bit higher and go for 20lbs?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

14 lbs is a stone so I think that's a nice round figure. But if you aim for 20 we'll be here to cheer you on and help you succeed

 

[EmmyReece]

it will only give me 2 weeks to maintain, so if my weight fluctuates I shouldn't do that much damage with the dress having been altered

 

[Lisa84]

Congratulations mindy

14lbs sounds like a nice round figure to aim for. Definitely doable

I lost 1lb at fat club this week. I was chuffed with that because the week before i had been bad so would have been happy with a maintain. I have a wedding in 6 weeks of a good friend so im hoping to lose an average of 2lb a week before then. I really wanna wear a dress xx

 

[EmmyReece]

well done hun that's a brilliant start

have you got any dresses in mind?

 

[Lisa84]

Ill need one that doesnt cling to the hips coz mine are mahooosive lol xx

 

[EmmyReece]

Would a floaty maxi dress do Lisa? Something in chiffon maybe?

2lbs off when I wi this morning

Have started the day well with grapes and watermelon followed by a yoghurt. Think I'm having a ham salad pitta for lunch. Not sure about dinner yet though.

 

[Lisa84]

I have tried those before and because i have no boobage they dont seem to look right.

I have been shocking today :/ naughty Lisa xx

Congrats to you too! That's awesome!
Ya PCOS stinks! Started the journey with no cycle and lost weight which brought my cycles back - still took almost 10 months with regularish cycles to get pregnant.

I love success stories!

 

[Tarkwa]

Just to continue with the success stories I lost over 10kg bringing my BMI down to 30 and that's when it happened for us so it just goes to show how much weight can affect your chances of getting pregnant.

I was in complete denial that weight affected fertility but my cycles were 100 days at one point. I saw the best fertility specialist in the area and he refused to help me until I had lost weight and said if I wanted a baby that badly I would lose the weight. It isn't easy I can tell you but I lost just over 10% of my body weight which is what he said to aim for and he was right. Once I started losing weight my cycles became more regular (around 28 days ) and I actually started ovulating.

Ladies, it is really hard losing weight, but is sooooooo worth it, believe me!

[Lisa84]

Well after my naughty week i have lost 1lb. How the chuff does that make sense I best be super good this week so it doesnt catch up with me xxx

 

[Pinkee]

I can't take too much credit, I did get a bug and have not been feeling well.
I only hit the gym 1 time the whole week but my throat was so sensitive and i slept so much my main diet was water, and lentil soup.

I'm feeling better, so i plan on kicking up some cardio later today. ALSO: I start the OPKs today, and this is after my very first round of clomid so i *might* actually see a positive opk for the first time in real life, and not just online. lol.

 

[EmmyReece]

Well done on the loss Pinkee, keeping everything crossed for a positive opk for you soon

Well done on your loss too Lisa, it all adds up
