hi ladies 
Em ita fantastic news that you got the start date for the excersise for life!! you can show of your new work out gear and have a boast with the weightloss! carrot cake is my fave, i seem to remember they did a really good ww one when i was counting points, or maybe it was tesco low cal, it was amazing moist and sweet and only like 130 cals or something.. mmmmm making myself hungry hehe, oh and i wanna go on your holiday, mine will be to the north of sweden, not much chance of a suntan!
Zowie I hope the docs can squeez you in so you get the results before your next FS apointment! it seems not very logical for them to waste a FS time when by not having all the info when all you need is 10 mins of a nurses time! definatly stay away from google! its so dangerous!
Strawberry Glad to here you are feeling positive today
is zumba fun? your hubby is so sweet bringing in logs for you especially when its -30 outside! I looked into the weight loss and temperiture and found some info saying that it is better to have your home extra warm as the hotter you are the less your body craves food especially suggers and carbs so keep that fire burning! I hope you dont develop nasty flu hun
imogen wanted 8lb in a month is fab! your dream sounds really surreal, i have been having anxiety dreams about babies recently, i know how to look after a baby i was my sisters 2nd mummy when she was small and i look after my cousins baby often and babysit too but i dreamp the other night that i did all the stupid things you are told not to with a baby,i deamed I left a baby botel with hot water near me when i was cuddling my friends baby and dreamed i lost my other friends baby!! I woke feeling like i shouldnt even TTC because id be such a bad mum! I thaught through it and decided it was a silly dream and id be a very safe mum so it was ok have fun reading the bigest looser book, do pass on any good tips!
trasky big hugs for you lovely
so sorry naught AF is on the way 
I hope your cold goes soon i advise night nurs all the way! your hubby is so sweet, what a personal valentines pressie! when is your birthday we need to know so we can make an extra special fuss of you! xxxx
Karla your evening sounds like paradise!! slim line tonic is great and chillie hightens your metabolism so its all good!!
lisa im just the same this week, if i sts it will be a miricle, pesky valentines day!!
my day was one of those frustrating days! I walked to my swedish lesson as usual but today it was soooooo cold!! i dont wear a jacket to make me walk faster, and i was literally freezing when i got there! afterwards i came home and i had left my money and house keys in our apartment grrr... so i was stood in the snow in -12 with no coat and no money! i went to the local cafe and told the lady i had no money and no keys and could i please have a cup of tea and my boyfriend would come and pay later? she said thets fine (luckily or i would have died of hyperthermia!) i call håkan and he tells me that we are going to his sisters to try on her sons skis for me and to have dinner... he just ignores that i told him yesterday we are going to have parika pork today! the good thing that happened was a lovely lady came and made friends with me in the cafe, she had the most adorable 8 month old baby, he really was perfect! i dont know many people near here so it will be great to meet up with her again for coffee and a chat well my boyfriend got home 1.5 hours after me, i was sat with my cup of tea (empty) waiting for him to come pay. after that we went to his sisters house and had dinner, she is a fantastic cook but tonight we were having "palt" a northern swedish speaiality... its like anti diet food, it is basically a dumpling made from potato with beacon inside, then you cut it open and put more beacon on it and 3 spoons of better and loads of salt and jam.. very odd but quite tasty but sooooooo bad for you! so i had only 1 but still i think it was probably 1500 calories then i tried on her sons skis, everyone was looking and the bloody things didnt fit around my big calvs very embarassing! then we went to watch ice hocky which was fun, then we came home and i tried on håkans skis, still to small but he managed to get them on and my legs hurt so much! they swelled up and håkan couldnt get the clasp to undo... so there i am in pain crying hysterically paniking i am going to have a ski boot on my foot till i loose weight (like winnie the poo when he was stuck in rabits house!) we got it off eventually after lots of fuss!
hugs to you all xxxx

good morning all
yaya for wi fit brandiva!! id love a wifit because then i could workout in my pyjamas and anything you can do in pyjamas is good!
you sounded lovely em im not one for analysing what people say and how they say it i take things on face value and i think you were really sweet! i ike boys but i think its really important to have close girly friends, i have never been one to have a big group of 20 friends but i like to have 1-2 really close girl friends and I have a best friend from when i was a teanager back in england she is a super star i miss her so much we skyped last night and she makes me laugh so much she said "well i met this guy... by met i mean spept with" and then later in the conversation she said "oh i for got to tell you I met Nick Clegg?" i said by you saying do you mean you slept with him? we are so different even when i was single i was really squeemish about sex with guys i wasnt going out with, but we still get along fantastic we just have differnt stories to tell!
my tummy hurts today, pre AF cramps I think I never took much notice of AF before TTC infact i had no idea even when my AF was due I just knew it came every month, but no i try and tune into my body its so anoying how early i get cramps, my boobs arnt even hurting yet! I hope it doesnt mean there is something wrong im on cycle day 27 and my cycle at its longest is 32 days do you think cramping 5 days before AF is bad? its not like i need pain killers or anything just a bit niggly. Oh and I took my temps this morning i did them at 6ish when my OH got up and it was 36.5 then i did them at 9.30ish (the time i usually do them) and it was 36.7 i had been asleep for 3 hours between, very strange! I took the 36.7 for FF tho hehe!
hope you are all well today! xxx

hi ebony 
these ladies are so lovely and very welcoming, I don't know where I'd be without them all ...Can I run something past you all please?
It looks like anywhere in the Caribbean is off the cards for next year because the time we want to go it's hurricane season. Anyway it looks like Turkey is going to be the place to go and it looks like we can afford all inclusive.
Now this is probably going to make me seem really selfish, but we're looking at going in June next year, and I was talking to Chris and the idea came up (from me) that maybe we take a ttc break until then? I know it's adding an extra year to my wait until we ttc again, but what I was thinking is that with the exercise for life scheme going on for 16 weeks that should motivate me to carry it on afterwards, the weight loss should hopefully kick start my cycles even more, and I was thinking we could use Turkey as our last holiday just me and Chris and really make the most of it?
I seem like a right self centred cow don't I?

Welcome, ebony, this is a great bunch of ladies! Wanna share a little of your ttc and possibly weight loss "history"?
Emmy I don't see how you're being selfish! The only way you'd be doing that is if you completely ignored your OH's wishes, and I'm sure he would prefer you to be in great shape before you get pregnant. Pregnancy can be a lot for our bodies to handle, and it's a great idea to get in better shape before it.
lovie no fun getting locked out of the apartment in our weather! Glad it turned out okay in the end.
I'm trying to decide which workout to do today, I'm leaning towards Jillian Michaels for maximum calorie burn...

doing a jillian micheals workout sounds like a great idea! i cant say we have it as cold as you but it still feels bloody cold!! i love it how swedish people say the temperiture like oh it 15 degrees tonight, not its MINUS 15 degrees tonight, i asked håkan about it and he said well you just know is someone says 15 degrees in winter it is minus... logical! is it the same in finland? xx

Ebony ~ welcome to the thread! Everyone here is very supportive, through good days and bad. Lovie ~ So sorry you had an awful time locked out of your flat but thank goodness that the world still has kind people in it!
Imgoen ~ I almost always have cramping from a day or two before ov right the way through to af and then period pain! Happens every cycle.
Emmy ~ Did you talk it through with Chris or are you still at the thinking about it stage? I think you have to do what you think is right for you. If you have the time to wait and it's what you want then I would go for it. You could always leave it open for review so that if one of you changes your mind then you can talk about it. The hard part would be if you want to wait and he doesn't. Then it gets tricky. If you want to focus on the weight loss for a while that isn't a bad thing.

hi ebony
Well I have about 70lbs to lose at the moment and i've just got back on the ww plan as I loooooovvvve ww (lol) and lost 60lbs before my wedding last year but sadly with the stress of ttc over the last year I have stuffed my face until I've gained it back and more. So... I'm on day 3 and I'm going to lose as much as I can before my bfp. xxx

he actually seems to be ok to go along with the idea for now, I think the way he sees it is that we'll have one last holiday just me and him ... and he says anything that helps us to get to the end goal of a bfp is more than worthwhile ... I love him sooooo much, he's been fab and always supported me whatever I've wanted to do ...

Hi
Well I've always had probs with my weight and have been dieting forever going from fat to thin and back to fat again and so on. A total yo-yo dieter and I'm a binge eater
I went from a size 20 to a size 12 for my wedding and now I'm a 20 again 
I always used to be naturally around a 14.I have ME/CFS so I can't exercise like I used to years ago to shift the pounds but ww really works for me and makes me eat alot healthier too so I love it. x

Hey Ladies, how are you all?
Sorry I havent been on for a while again! I've been really busy with work etc.
Well I got weighed yesterday and I've lost 2.5lb!! So I'm really please with that, especially with gaining a pound the week before.
Has anyone tried Zumba yet? I've been looking on Amazon and theres a Zumba game coming out for the Wii next month, I think its £25 so I might give it a whirl!!
Hope you're all ok, I'll try to post more often.
H xx

Love2bamummy - I don't have the Zumba game but zumba dvds and I love those! They're good fun, but aren't full of difficult coreography which would have not been good for me, so you burn calories without noticing it much. I sweat buckets though! After having them for several months they do get a bit repetitive, which is why I switch them up with other workout dvds I have. That way I get more variety, which is always good.
