no its great!! you its great you put it all in your journal, then when you get a really rubish day of morning sickness or a week of sleepless night you can look back at it and remember how excited you are right now and it can give you some encouragement!

 

[Traskey]

id like to say sorry to tarkwa and trasky, I always get your names muddled up! im dyslexic and the TARkwa and TRAsky is just too much for me, I do try but sorry when I get it muddledxx

Awww, sorry Lovie I would say call me Tracey but that won't help very much will it Change it to whatever you like, i'll answer to anything

Tarkwa, glad the MIL was at least bearable today (as much as they can be). Don't let her ruin your day.

 

[lovie]

[Tarkwa]

ME!!! I've just weighed in and lost that 1lb I put on last week - YAY! I can't believe it's turned out ok this week after two proper meals out plus a HUGE roast dinner yesterday. I think having the trots earlier this week definitely helped . Well, we didn't go swimming yesterday as planned, but we are definitely going tonight (and maybe a small workout). Traskey, I'll look up that info for you now - if it's too long to post I'll send it to you in a PM or something.

Emmy - I so check my temp in the evening too - I know exactly what you mean!

Lovie, like Traskey you can call me what you like and I'll answer (in most cases ) - I'm sure I'll realise if it's a message for me.

Hi to all the other ladies on this thread , I hope you are all doing well - Love2bamummy, Imogenwanted, 4magpies, Foxybabyhg3, twinkle1975, April05, Lisa84, Karla1, cottonlily, sheilarae07, gingerroxi, Pinkee, Sarah1989, darkangelx, BranDivah, babycarey, Georginaa, Chiefjen83.

good luck at weigh in lovie, I'm sure you'll have lost ... you've done so much exercise

for losing Tarkwa, have you got a target for this week?

I've just had to rearrange my weigh in for this week. Chris has to have the car and I can't get across to the health centre this week. So have just phoned up and got the snotty receptionist who makes me feel like dog poop whenever I talk to her But, I do have my scales at home now so I can do a weigh in tomorrow morning

4 dpo today though ff did originally take it off me because I recorded my first temp where Id dropped the thermometer lol , so did it again and I got my 4 dpo back

off into town too ... am going to treat myself to a hair dye and I'll be getting the folic acid too while I'm there

 

[lovie]

yay for 1 pound tarkwa!! I bet gardening is really good at burning cals, especially in the fresh winter air! have fun swimming tonight x

 

[Tarkwa]

Traskey, there is a way of looking at pages within the book I mentioned online! Search for it on Amazon (diet bible judith wills) and click on look inside. If you have an account then sign in and it lets you search for certain pages (left menu - Search inside this book). There are two questions; Q9 on page 17 (search for 17 in it should give you options to pick the right page) and Q21 on page 23 (again search for 23). Q9 is Is it true that everyone's weight has a natural 'set point'? and Q21 is Why do I never lose weight even though I hardly eat a thing? I hope this helps chick!

Hello lovely ladies - sorry i've not been on in a while I've been on a conference all weekend & only got back late last night. I've just caught up with the last about 15 pages - this thread moves so fast!
Welcome Countrylass, well done Tarkwa, fingers crossed for tonight's WI Lovie, Emmy - got everything crossed for you, hey everyone else

As for me - I lost 4.5lbs at my WI on Thurs! The conference has not helped with the diet but it wasn't was bad as it could have been. We were staying in a four star hotel and they had a breakfast buffet which I just cannot resist - cooked breakfast is my favourite! I avoided the sausages & had bacon, mushrooms, scrambled egg, hash brown, baked beans, fried egg & quarter of a slice of fried bread (yum) I also had a slice of toast & some fruit. However it did mean that I was full for until Dinner time so didn't have to have lunch so am hoping that it wasn't too bad. We had to buy dinner out but the colleague I was with is the skinniest person I know & she always says we should have a main course & pudding & then can't fit a pudding in so as there were only the 2 of us I didn't have pudding either. I'm just hoping I haven't put too much back on as its our first FS appt on Wed.
AF finally arrived today - day 41! I'm also full of a cold so I'm glad I've got today off - I'm sitting on the sofa with the duvet & my laptop & not going anywhere!

 

[EmmyReece]

twinkle 4.5 lbs off is absolutely amazing ... well done

really hope you're feeling better soon, colds are so ikky, I hate them ... snuggling up on the sofa under a duvet sounds like a good idea, think I might copy you

I'm sure weigh in will be fine too ... you may not have lost as much as thursday's weigh in, but from what you say you've made some good decisions (even by having that brekkie you weren't snacking during the day)

 

[Lisa84]

Well done on the 4.5lbs loss hun that really is fab. FX you haven't put it back on but i think if you were good on the other days you should be fine for a maintain at least

I can't seem to find any motivation and will power at the mo. Since xmas it's just been good week, bad week, good week, bad week and so on xx

 

[Love2bamummy]

Hey Girlies,

How are you all? Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I've been like a silent stalker reading all your posts! I've kind of glazed over with all the talk of charting and temps etc, my heads just not in it at the moment. I record all my periods though. Don't get me wrong I'm still with the best of them! lol.

I've got my weigh in tomorrow. I'm not too hopeful for a loss this week. We had a Dominos on Saturday (not good!) but god it was nice! So I made the fizzy jellies, and I think I must have done something wrong because it wasn't very fizzy, I was gutted! lol. Been looking forward to that all week!

I've been invited to a baby shower next month. I've been umming and ahhing whether to go or not. Kelly's a friend through another friend (if that makes sense) and while I really want to go (because I love everything baby!) I just wonder if its going to make me feel shite again.

I was thinking about this the other day.... How many times has your mum or family member etc, said about going on the pill, safe sex and all that to make sure you don't get pregnant? Well, if I'd have known it was going to be this difficult to get pregnant, I wouldn't have bothered to go on the pill in the first place and just taken my chances! My Auntie always used to say, 'When you go out, keep your hand on your tuppence!'

So speaking of sexy time, has anyone dtd in any strange places? Has it been your 'fertile' time, and you've just had to jump on dh? I think the most adventurous we've been was in the park, (it was dark though!) and we once did it in the pool on holiday! lol. Oh the balcony was another good one! Heck I sound like a right slapper! lol I'm really not!! Far from it!

Come on ladies, lets hear your stories, you sexy lot!

Brilliant loss Twinkle, keep up the good work chick. xx

 

[Love2bamummy]

I've discovered Sweet Onion Ryvitas, and Garlic & Herb Philadelphia Light, Gorgeous! (Well not good for your breath, but if you have in the day you're not due to dtd then you'll be ok!). Mmm...

I've also found a Zero Pro Point soup recipe for Curried Butternut Squash soup. I'm going to give it a whirl on Wednesday when I'm off. I've got the dreaded smear test on Wednesday, so I'm not looking forward to that!! xx

 

[EmmyReece]

my most adventurous is our above ground swimming pool last summer

 

[zowiey]

Hello!! Glad you're back, I missed you!!

I don't chart anymore, I'm aware of ov, but to be honest can't really be bothered with the temping and opks! Plus nothing kills your sex life like walking in with a fresh opk and telling hubby we've got to have sex because I'm o'ing!! Not that hubby minded,but i found it was putting to much pressure on us!

Erm, trying to think, I don't think we have done it anywhere exciting! God we are boring!

Xxxxx


ETA:

We have!! In a park near our house, and our back garden on our anniversary last year! can't believe I forgot that! We had drank an awful lot of wine, and it was a really warm evening!

Lol you mucky pups!! xxx

 

[Traskey]

Hey girls, haven't we been busy today

Twinkle ~ congratulations on the 4.5lb weight loss. That's fantastic! Well done you. I tried the big breakfast at the weekend and found it kept me full for hours! Was great Fingers X for a plan for you at the FS.

Lisa ~ sorry you've been having rollercoaster. It's the worst feeling when the diet won't do what you want.

Tarkwa ~ thank you. I do have an amazon account and found the pages that you recommended. I do always seem to end up back at this weight. I might get that book or at least borrow if from the library for a read.

Love2 ~ we had light garlic and herb on jacket potatoes the other day, it was delicious. DH is now addicted. Good luck with the smear test Wednesday.

 

[lovie]

Hi lovelies



Emmy, yay for 4DPO!!! did you get some folic acid today? what colour hair dye were you thinking? dont let anyone ever make you dog poop, you are fantastic and dont let anyone ever make you think any different hun good luck with the weigh in tomorrow! you have been so excited about your OV I bet that has used some extra cals! hehe

Twinkle, for 4.5 pounds, thats awsome!! I hope you are felling better from your cold, soffa+laptop+duvet=best place to be when you are feeling under the weather! your breakfast sounded awsome! me and my OH stayed in a B+B for 1 night when we visited some of my family in manchester he had never had a full english breakfast and he didnt like it, crazy boy!!

lisa 84 im exactly the same good week bad week, but usually it ends up as good weekend bad fortnight! this time I am really determined to stick at it!!!

love 2bamummy it must be a hard choic as to weather to go to the baby shower of not, at least it isnt a very close friend, you can say you have got a family comitment or something maybe? you are so right about the contraception thing, I really think they should be a little more realistic with sex education. when we had our 1st cycle trying back in may last year I just asumed id get pregnant, it was a compleat shock that I didnt! I'm loving your antie's saying, she sounds like a star! good luck at the smear teast, I got called for one in Sweden but I only had my last one in the UK last year so I dont think I will go.

Zowie, so true about opks being a bit of a passion killer, I have to let my wee get to room temperiture before using the test and just now I was making the salad for dinner and had to enlist the help of my OH to do it whilst I finished, I had to say to him what would you prefere me trying to multi task with your dinner and wee or you doing it? luckily it was - because I dont think he would have wanted to BD even if it had been pos!

how funny are you all with your naughty stories!! twinkle wins most romantic so far IMO parks and pools sound fun! I have 2, we went wild mushroom picking in october , there were no mushrooms and no other people so one thing led to another. Also only about a week and a half ago my OH picked me up in his lorry (hes a manager for a lorry firm) we had to wait about an hour for a colection to be ready so again one thing led to another, the curtins were closed but when we opened them again all the windows were steamed up (just like in titanic!) very embarasing!

I have been typing so much I allmost forgot I did my weigh in today and I have lost 6 ponds its been a bit of a crazy week I walked 30 km all in all and 2 hours of ice skating along with a tummy bug, there is no-way I am ever going to beat 6 pounds again! I just hope I dont put it back on! its been a week since I joined you ladies and Id just like to say a BIG thankyou! you have really inspired me and supported me. loosing weight is something that I have been trying to do on and off for a while but I never really seemed to have enough comitment. you are the best TTC/weightloss buddies a girl could have! xxxxxx
