I watch this on my laptop sometimes and try it out, but I've no co ordination :rofl:
 
Hmmm theres a place right down the street from me that does Zumba classes. Has anyone ever done actual classes before? I might go over there Friday and see how much they are
 
Hi Ladies

Hope you are all well, its sunny here today and its making me :flower:smile!!

Emmy - I would deffo recommend Hisoranu in Turkey by the Oludinez beach (no idea how you spell either) It is stunning I had an amazing time and if you do go take a trip to the Turkish Baths!!

Lovie - Digby is a Lhasa Apso and he is my precious I love him soooo much although he is such a little monkey!!

Well done to all you that have lost those 1lb's!!

Bye for now xxxx

We were actually looking at there, as well as Marmaris :thumbup:

Hope things are good x x
 
My goodness, I'm really falling behind with this thread! Hello to everyone, well done on all the weight losses :happydance:.
I've been naughty today and had takeaway pizza for lunch (reception forgot to tell the guys I work with that the sandwich van had been so I suggested I order them a pizza - they all jumped at the offer [company paid for it!] and there was no way I was sitting there eating my salad whilst they munched on yummy pizza!). I do not expect a weight loss this week, in fact, quite the opposite. I am completely and utterly ravenous and will eat anything in sight - don't remember my pre-AF symptoms being as bad as this before (or my boobs not being sore), but the signs in my knic-knox and the 'period pains' I had this morning (to the point where I took paracetamol) tell me otherwise :growlmad:.
Sorry for not responding individually to everyone - I'm trying to spend less time on the PC when I get home and DH is about (especially if I have been at work all day). But one thing for Emmy - you take as long as you need girl! Play it by ear if you need to, or maybe have a bash at TTC every now and then if you do take it to next year. You're not being selfish at all and I'm glad Chris is supportive :hugs2:. Getting your periods back to normal will help enormously and you'll feel even more positive about the whole thing, I know I did (now it's just a game of statistics!). :hugs:
Lots of love to you all

:hugs2: so sorry it looks like af is going to be making an appearance soon. I'm so sorry to quote Morrissey to you but :blush: "do your best and don't worry", that's all you can do hun, if you have an off day or even an off week (like I sometimes have) then just get back on the wagon asap. But I have surprised myself at times when I've ate loads during the week, I've either maintained my weight or lost

And thank you for the advice hun :hugs: all of you in fact. It's so very much appreciated, and I really hope I can return the favour for all of you. I'm not going no where lol, I'm too nosey, so even though I won't be ttc lol I'll still be trying to shrink my belly ready for a bump :thumbup:

Today has been spent looking at hotels for next year. We've spotted a few that really stand out, so we're going to wait and see what the prices do in April and then take it from there :)

:hugs2: you ladies are the best
 
Evening all,

Well tonight we had rice and salmon with a herb and peppercorn crust. Very nice. I am trying to eat more fish as it's good for you and I don't eat as much as I should. Mind you, if you want to put smoked salmon in a bagel with light philly I can eat that every day :haha:

I've not tried Zumba, but all the ladies in my classes rave about it!!
 
yummmmm that sounds absolutely lovely, everyone seems to come up with such wonderful meals ... I feel quite ashamed sometimes at my plain salmon and salad or ham and salad wraps :rofl: I need more variety :dohh:

I'm thinking of giving zumba a try too, but going to wait until I lose some of this weight before signing up to our local class as it's full of skinny minnies that I used to go to school with :dohh:
 
thank you imogen wanted :hugs: hopefully early cramping means a BFP hehe! I have allways been curious about your user name, is your name imogen or is it a possible baby name? or just a nice user name? xxx

Hi i have a cousin called Imogen and i love her and her name very much if i ever have a girl im going to call her Imogen xx
 
hia ladies! imogen is a lovely name :) FX you get to use it really soon :hugs:

emmy your salmon and salad and ham and salad wraps sound lovely! so long as you like them that is all that matters! im so glad to here you wont be taking a break from b+b just from ttc! wed miss you too much! i feel the same as you about going to public classes, i know its silly and the people i think are actually looking couldnt care less about me and probably have not even noticed me! but i still feel shy!

trasky i love fish but im dont know any fish recipies apart from salmon thai curry and that definatly isnt diet food hehe. the swedish christmas dinner is mainly cold fish, i went out to håkans christmas dinner and felt so healthy afterwards.. appart from the drink shots of vodka (massive shots like 3 normal shots) with their dinner!

I hope you are feeling better tarkwa i hope you had no need for any more paracetamol :hugs: i have come to dread my pre AF signs, before i was ttc id just be mildly supprised, like oh its that time again is it, but now when i feel my 1st cramp i have such a sinking feeling in my tum,:nope: pizza isnt so bad once in a while i bet it had at least 1 of your 5 a day on! free food doesnt count when you are dieting! enjoy your time with your OH I try not to go on the internet when håkans home he goes to bed super early tho so i stay up after him and catch up with you ladies :)

bagpuss i just googled Lhasa Apso, oh i bet digby is so cute, they look like little teddybears!

ebony that is an amazing acheivement to have lost all that weight before your wedding!! its great that you have done it before you know you can do it all over again!! so sorry to here you suffer from ME/CFS, doubly amazing acheivement to have lost all that weight whilst dealing with ME/CFS.

love2bamummy :happydance::happydance::happydance: well done for 2 pounds!! happy days :)

all you zumba ladies are making me want to try it, as i said before any excersise you can do in pyjamas is good excersis in my books!

my day went well, i did some babysitting this afternoon, it makes me unbeleivably broody! and then for birthday tea at my OH sisters house, we had big cream buns and i knew it was going to be ++++++cals this evening so i only had 3 pieces of hard bread for my breakie and lunch, also i am never hungry in the morning i have to make myself eat! so we got there and i had a bun and it made me feel really sick, i think it was all the cream my body isnt used to such rich food at the moment, and i couldnt eat anything else! so all i have had today is 3 riveta type things and a cream bun and i feel too queesy to care! i dont feel hungry at all! this could be my new tactic! (only joking i know it would be vvv unhealthy) :hugs::hugs:hugs to you all lovely ladies keeping me on track on my diet i appreciate it soooo much!! :hugs::hugs: xxx
 
Good morning ladies!

Hope you all have a great day :hug:

Lovie ~ sounds like your stomach has shrunk and your tastes have changed. Your body seems to be used to the change in food now!
 
:hi:

morning everyone

doesn't sound like you ate a lot yesterday lovie :( :hugs: I know what you mean about things making you feel ikky, since I've been on this weight management thing anything with fat in just gives me a dodgy tummy :( hope you're feeling better today though hun

how's everyone else doing?

I'm spending the day looking for inspiration for our holiday next year :happydance: we know we want Turkey, preferably the Dalaman area and all inclusive ... it's so exciting, I'm starting to save for the deposit next week yayyy

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders knowing that we're taking a break for a while as it means I can focus on my weight loss and get it shifted ready to start trying again next year :thumbup:
 
Hello ladies, hope everyone is having a good day?

Tarkwa :hugs: I hate pre-af signs as well, my boobs get very sore, and I get kinda crampy a little before af most cycles. Plus I always get a couple of huge spots on my face! Not very nice at all. :growlmad:

Emmy your salads and wraps sound good, I just can't go with salads when it's so cold over here! This morning it was -34C when I got up! (I guess that's about -29F)

lovie you're brave to babysit, I don't think I could do that right now, at all.

Like I said earlier, an extremely cold day here today, though the sun is shining and warms it up a little during the day. Think it's gonna be a zumba day for me today. Today the scales showed -0.5kg so about 1 lbs from Monday, so I feel good about that. :happydance: Of course it's gonna go up again before it goes down some more like it always does for me, but still, feels good. Feeling better with all the exercise, I think, it always makes me feel more energetic and stronger, somehow.
 
it'll be all those endorphins racing around your body strawberry :D yay for the weightloss hun, hope it keeps going in the same direction :thumbup:
 
hia lovely ladies :hugs:

yay for the pound since monday strawberry that is great!:happydance:! im with you on it being hard to eat salad when its cold outside, i do like a nice greek salad tho because i LOVE olives and that is the only time i let myself eat them on my diet.

the babysitting does make me see close up what i am missing, especially when my OH came to pick me up and the litte boy ran over and gave him a hug, the little boy is 2 and loves trains and buses so they had a little chat about tåget (the train in swedish) and it made me want my own little bi-lingual baby so much! i love the kids tho and it is a pleasure to be in there company i just have to push ttc to the back of my mind when im there.

-34 is crazyily cold!! dont go outside what ever you do!!

emmy you should be a travel agent! you are so good at planning holiday! i didnt eat much yesterday and i felt a little sicky but its all ok today :)

im feeling crampy still, only 6dpo according to FF i dont want to feel like this for another week but then again i dont want AF to come either because then i will be worrying i have a LP defect!

I have a (+)(+) question... i get little white dots around my nipples every time i have a 2ww, does anyone else get them?

well id better dash to my class no im late! oh well i will just have to walk faster! catch you all later hugs from AMy xxxxxx
 
I get them too hun just before af :hugs: awwwwww hun I know what you mean when you say about babysitting making you realise what you're missing. When we were over with Chris' family at Christmas we went to see his Nanna and one of his cousin's was there with her 2 year old boy, and he just instantly took a liking to Chris and kept playing with him the whole time we were there. There was a few times where I had to swallow back the tears as I could tell how much of a good daddy Chris will make :blush:

:rofl: I'm usually awful at planning holidays, we always end up forgetting something :dohh: so this time I'm going to try and be as organised as possible from the start, though there's nothing we can do about it until the beginning of April at the very earliest when the 2012 prices come out, but as soon as we have enough money saved I'm going to get it booked :happydance:
 
Morning ladies :hi:

I'm on day 4 of my diet and I'm still in shock that I've got this far. i've got college today though so that will keep me away from food.

Good luck today everyone. x
 
Well af arrived in earnest today and as always I want to eat for England! I am trying to be super good though as it's weigh in tomorrow and I don't think I have lost again.

Emmy ~ your holiday sounds lovely! We are forgoing a holiday this year as we are trying to save money for IVF. All inclusive on a beach sounds a fab reward for all the hard work you are doing with the diet and exercise.

Lovie ~ Enjoy your class today :)

Strawberry ~ Congratulations on losing half a kilo since Monday! That's great :D

Ebony ~ Good luck with the first week of your diet.

:hi: to everyone else :hi:
 
Hi ladies

Ebony well done for getting to day 4! I find its getting easier and easier day by day, once my body realsied i wasnt going to have a bag of chrisps or sweets each evening i kinda lost those cravings a little.

I hope you are not suffering to much with AF trasky, good luck for the weigh in tomorrow FX for a loss!

emmy at least you know chris will be a lovely father :) he sounds like he will be super dad! thanks aswell for the (+)(+) advice! i have only noticed these things since i have strted ttc and actually looked at my body!

the ski problem is fixed:happydance::happydance::happydance: I found some skis in a 2nd hand shop that fit (thank goodness!!) it was about 20 pounds for the skis and pools so really good! the slight problem i have is that i have thin feet (it is the only bit of me that is thin!) so they are a liitle loose on my foot but i will wear big socks :) I got fast tracked on my swedish course today I get to miss out on a whole part of the course and jump from A to C so im really glad about that! Im looking forward to seeing my family on saturday! im going to make them the paprika pork as a special treat :)

I hope you are all having a fab day! :hugs::hugs:xxxxxx
 
Emmy, so glad you're getting the Exercise for Life thing sorted - sounds like it's just what you needed! This thread is still perfect for you - you are losing weight to TTC, so I'm glad you're not going anywhere! :hugs:

Zowiey - yay for the finished bedroom - that will help with the baby making activities that go on in there :winkwink:. When are you doing your CD15 bloods?

Strawberry - I admire you for doing zumba - it sounds really tough! I'm so uncoordinated that I'd be no good at it. I did aerobics once and we had to do a grapevine(?), well, I don't know how many times I tripped over myself! :dohh:

Imogen, what a bizarre dream chick! So nice that you will call your babe that if they are a girl. I've thought about names, but only really girls ones! There are so many that I like that I think I need to wait until I'm PG and have given birth to decide which ones. :cloud9:

Traskey, sorry the :witch: has arrived - booooo! My temps have been like a yo-yo over the last week or so (see piccie below), but have gradually declined overall. Good idea about the fish - we've only really eaten it occasionally, but I think it could really help make dinners a little less heavy.

Karla - hope you enjoyed your naughty food - we all need a good treat every now and then, don't we!

Lisa, I have negative motivation, if that's even possible! My breakfast was uncooked sweet waffles (ate them in the car) then lunch started at about 10am and consisted of M&S chocolate biscuits - not good! I should have gone to the gym this afternoon, but I really couldn't be bothered! So I went shoping instead and bought myself some new undies - bright coral colour! And matching slippers! Good luck with the home gym! :happydance:

Lovie, how annoying about locking your stuff in your flat and having to wait around in the cold with no coat! Glad you had a cafe to sit and hand have people look after you. I know the feeling about boots around your calves - it's horrible isn't it. Can't say I've noticed any white dots on/around my nip-nips - will have a look on my next 2ww. So happy you are finally getting to make the paprika pork - I hope your family enjoy it.

Welcome ebony2010! We're all curvy girls on here all with the same goals! Well done on losing all that weight for your wedding - I lost 35lbs for my wedding and felt great! I was a small 18/big 16, and am at the same weight size again now which is nice, but my aim is just to be a size 14. I know what CFS is like - I had EBV when I was younger and one of the 'symptoms' was CFS, but I'm much better now, though the odd nap never goes amiss!

Love2, nice to see you again! Yay for losing 2.5lbs chick - that's great!

Hello Bagpuss - Digby sounds gorgeous, do you have to groom him lots? They are such pretty dogs.

AFM, I've been at work most of today, and popped into town after I got home (rather than going to the gym). DH said he wanted to go today after work, but I just really feel like I can't be bothered. I'm not working tomorrow so might go during the day after the weekly shop (will pick up some fish!). Dinner will probably be 'southern fried' flavour chicken fillets (oven baked) with salad - which sounds really healthy now I've written it down! I made some maple pecan brownies two days ago and was really bad! [-X I ate loads of the mixture before it was even cooked (raw eggs, naughty!) and then the chocolate topping I was practically spooning into my mouth whilst melting it down. I'm so ashamed of myself right now (especially with zero motivation). AF STILL hasn't made an appearance - just lots of TMI ALERT really dark brown CM - yukky! Better go and do some housework before DH gets home, and get dinner prepared - speak later ladies!
xxx

P.S. the red line is when I should have started my period, and the green rectangle is my O'ing day.
