Bellys to Bumps

[Lisa84]

Bagpuss I have thought about doing that diet or something like lighter life but read it can mess up your cycles so didn't want to risk it. Well done on the 19lbs that is fantastic!!

NGRidley I also have PCOS and as soon as i came off the pill gained loads of weight really really quickly. People were shocked saying that the pill usually makes you gain weight so i had to explain that the pills lessens the side effects of PCOS. Have you tried Slimming world. I don't know much about weight watchers but i know that i can combine SW with the low GI diet really well xxx

Hey ladies...

Well...I've been bad. I fell hard off the wagon...haven't done a damn thing lately...not working eating bad...haven't been checking in here...
Someone slap my hand...I need some motivation...seriously

 

[lovie]

hia NGridley, great to meet you! you will love it here, we are all working towards the same thing! well dont on the 20 pounds lost allready

I love your name choices Brandiva! especially Jude Anthony

Emmy glad your sleepsuit has arived, was that the one you put the link up of? aqua fit sounds perfect, I like being in the water but im really not great at swimming so dont enjoy doing legnths, but movement in water is so good as a workout!

the cambridge diet sounds great, I dont think I could cut out normal food tho, one of the things I love about being on a diet is the pleasure I get out of eating food! usually i need to eat high fat high suger to get enjoyment out of food, chrisps, sweets, cheese etc but when im dieting i really really enjoy a tomato or a orange or a cracker with ham.... what I need is a super market that doesnt have a chrisp section (or a sweet section)! so glad you are loosing weight fast on it tho, I wish I had your will power!

it seems like everyone has really different experiences with their doctors, some seem really supportive and understanding and others seem like B¤%&#¤ds. I am so scared to go to hte doctor even for a checkup because I know they will tell me I am overweight. I went to the nurse for a smear last year but before then I hadnt been to the doctor for more than 10 years. Im really frightened that they will just tell me I need to lose weight if I need to go to them if we dont get our BFP in the next few months. it is part of my motivation, BMI of 30 by september! it makes me so angry because as you said bagpuss your cycle and OV are perfect so why should your weight effect you? throughout history curvy women have been fertility symbols, there is no chance of a baby getting stuck in my pelvis my hips are nice and big hehe!

hi to everyone else

hugs to you all,

 

[twinkle1975]

NG - glad you've got a nice doctor - that always helps!
Bran - loving slap for you!
Emmy - woohoo for good trainers!
Strawberry - well done on the exercise - you've motivated me - did 45 mins on the wii fit - thought my legs were going to drop off!
Bagpuss - the others are right - I think they do just blame weight when they don't have answers!

Evening ladies

Well, the weigh in was as I suspected, I only lost a pound this week. However, I did do my measurements and since I started WW 5 weeks ago I have lost 4cm off my waist, 3cm off my hips, 5cm off my bust (boooo, it's too small already!) and 2cm off my thighs

DH and I have rejoined the gym to try and shift more pounds faster. We were members until the summer but got lazy so stopped going. We ummed and ahhhed about whether to do this. The money could go to the IVF we need, but without losing some more weight we won't get IVF at all. We spoke to a private clinic and they said they need the BMI under 35 (as opposed to the nhs 30). My BMI is 37.6 so I have a way to go yet. So, we've decided to rejoin the gym and hope we can get the weight down, then try to find the IVF money.

Bloods were fine today. Read the letter from the FS whilst in the docs as she had it on the screen during my appointment. It said about the tests, acknowledged that I was doing WW and trying hard to lose weight, but reitterated that without the BMI under 30 there would be no IVF (even though we needed it). So, ploughing on with the diet!

WELCOME to Bagpuss and NGRidley. Everyone here is very friendly and supportive. I wanted to do the Cambridge diet or Lighter Life but am giving WW a go first so it doesn't affect my fertility. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Welcome back Bran Divah, it's ok to fall off the wagon, as long as you hop back on.

Twinkle, hope your bloods were ok yesterday! Next ones for me are the CD2-4 ones and the hsg (blech)

Emmy, good trainers I need to get a sports bra too! I have some nice fitness wear from Fashion World. They do Reebok etc up to a size 30 but it's not the cheapest. They do their own range too though.

Strawberry, that's an awesome amount of exercise, well done!

Lovie, 30cm!!!!!!!!! Eeek. That's a LOT of snow. I wouldn't want to walk in that lot either. Hope the trains were running.

Bagpuss, I use OPK and a Clearblue Fertility Monitor as I hardly have any cm so can't use that to tell when ovulation is. I find them extremely useful and would recommend them if you feel it would help you. You can get cheap opk from eBay and Amazon or pick up the CBFM.

Hope I havent missed anyone out!

 

[twinkle1975]

Traskey - at least it was 1 in the right direction!!

 

[lovie]

well done on all those CM's lost trasky! you are going to have to go shopping for new chloths soon! and a pound lost is great! great news on joining the guy, its really nice that you and your hubby can do it together! a BMI of 35 isnt far off hun, how many pounds to go for you till you are BMI 35? you should get a little ticker just for that amount, I allways think its a good idea to plan weightloss in little steps... if I put my goal weight as my BMI 25 I will just be too disheartened! glad to here the bloods were good

 

[Traskey]

Thanks Twinkle, after 3 weeks of sts I was grateful for any loss, regardless of how small!

Good question Lovie, a loss of 18 lbs will take me under 35. I agree small targets are good, otherwise the thought of 50lbs just to get me to overweight would be ARGH!

 

[lovie]

only 18 pounds to go is so close! the time will fly especially with all that working out with your hubby... just make sure you dont let him get to tired to do the BD I read somewhere that keeping BDing regular is good for men, geting rid of the old spermies so they can grow new ones... anyone else heared this?

yeah I've heard this

yay for losing weight Traskey hun and for all those cms, I think a new wardrobe might be in order soon

I'm having an off night food wise ... it's been a stressful afternoon, so I'm going to have some choccy and some pringles

 

[lovie]

i hope your not too stressed emmy hun im going to have a mojor cheat and have a glass of vino tonight, i have decided not to worry abut drinking once a week before i get my BFP, this TTC could go on for ages I dont want to give up everything!

im going away next saturday so i wont be able to make my tuesday weigh in )i only do it at home so no big deal) so what i think i will do is do a weigh in on a friday instead, makes sence end of the week, if i loose i can celebrate with a glass of wine hehe. so i'll go get my scales out.

pringles and choccy.... emmy i wanna be at your house!! xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

just family being a pain in the backside lol ...

I feel really bad having choccy and pringles, but I think it's gonna be an early night and a slob out with some girly dvds lol

hope you enjoy your glass of vino lovie and yep weighing on friday sounds like a good idea

 

[lovie]

im here if you wanna talk about pain in the bum familes hun, girly dvd's sound like a great idea, i might convince my BF to join me and do the same

I lost 2 pounds, im losing weight less quickly than last week but i did expect that, my body isnt that kind to me to let me continue to loose it fast.

the wine is tasting goooood, those 2 pounds will probably be right back on my tummy by tomorrow lol

hugs to you all xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

2 lbs is fab hun considering its not been a full week since you did your last weigh in

 

[Traskey]

Yay, well done on 2lbs Lovie, that's great! I love WI on a Friday because if I am bad at the weekend and slip up I have a whole 5 days to fix it

Enjoy the wine

Emmy, I am sorry you are having a stressful day with family I hope you have a better evening

NGRidley I also have PCOS and as soon as i came off the pill gained loads of weight really really quickly.

I don't know much about weight watchers but i know that i can combine SW with the low GI diet really well xxx

I have not tried SW.... not even sure what it is. I have tried the low GI diet. I didnt lose much on it but it did make me feel a lot better in general. I need to try it again for a long period of time, but motivation is needed.

Hey ladies...

Well...I've been bad. I fell hard off the wagon...haven't done a damn thing lately...not working eating bad...haven't been checking in here...
Someone slap my hand...I need some motivation...seriously

*SLAP!!!!!!!!!!!!*

THANKS

Awesome job at the cm's lost!!!
I hate that doctors base things off of BMI because they are NOT accurate. They do not take body shape into account. My doctor agrees with me that my body cant be a BMI of 26 which is deemed as "the healthy BMI"

Oh, I think I LIKE your doctor I have to confess I can't imagine myself weighing what WW say is my goal weight. 10 stone something (about 150 lbs). I have always been overweight and I can't even visualise thin!

with WW I am supposed to be like between 135-165 ish lbs.... not possible.
When I was 17 in highschool and playing sports 7 days a week on the basketball and volleyball team, and walking EVERYWHERE I was 180lb.

But WW does allow you to get a doctors note to change your goal weight

 

[twinkle1975]

Mmm - just popped in to say on your recommendations I tried the ww low fat cream - we had it with peaches and 3 mini meringues (only 1 point for 3!) yummy!
