Traskey, I'm so sorry you're feeling like this, it really is so cruel I know it's extreme but have you thought about lighter life or cambridge diet? Just to shift the weight as quick as possible. Sending you lots of hugs xxxx

I think about it all the time but I was told it isn't very good for you and can make your periods stop. I'd like to because I think if I don't lose it I have zero hope but alas, DH is against the idea.

Sorry to butt in but I've heard alot of bad things about lighter life and I think you are better off eating food when losing weight. A friend of my sisters went from a 26 to a size 10 on lighter life and now she is alot bigger than when she started. I've also read quite alot of articles where people have died.

I hope I didn't sound opinionated and I know they work for some people but I wanted to comment. x

Hey all, sorry I've been away all week, not caught up with you all yet but just wanted to say - You know I've got to lose 2.5 stones before we see the FS again in August? Well I went to order a bridesmaid's dress today for a friends wedding & I needed a dress 2 sizes smaller than I did when we went to try on before Christmas!! Woohoo!

Congrats! That must have felt great. x

 

[Traskey]

Ebony, thanks for the hugs. It sounds like the diet is still going well for you. That's fantastic.

Emmy, thanks for the tip about the weight management programme. I hadn't thought of that. I will have a look on the docs web site and ask next time I am in.

Lovie, not long now

Twinkle, two dress sizes is an amazing achievement! CONGRATULATIONS that's fantastic

 

[ebony2010]

oh ebony good luck with the OH's SA when is your FS apointment?

and day 5 of the diet yay!!!

on facebook today my fried posted pics of some cupcakes she had made for her babyshower with choc topping and tiny little feet! Im so happy for her she has a boy allready and had an ectopic pregnancy befroe she conceived this little one (a girl) id never wish anything other than a happy healthy family of however many children she wants but i just want my own aswell!!!

xxxx

Yeah... i'm happy for the people on my facebook too but it just makes me feel sad like I'm a failure.

My doctor is referring me to FS when mine and DH's results come back so I'm assuming a couple of months at least yet. My doctor said I can go in to talk the results throgh with her though so I'm going to do that. x

 

[ebony2010]

happy weekend everyone!!! I just did a cheapie internet HPT (they came free with my cheapie opk's and it was negative but i dont care im just so happy to see my family at 9ish tonight

 

[EmmyReece]

you're gonna have such a fab time lovie

and as for the bfn, it's still quite early for anything to show, so you're not out yet, just be extra careful on those skis

 

[StrawberryTTC]

lovie have a great time with your family!

twinkle two dress sizes is great, you must feel awesome!

ebony good luck with the test results. I still have to wait 4 months for mine. I can imagine it's nerve wrecking to wait for the results, but at least then you'll know one way or another if there's anything wrong there!

I don't think meal replacement/vlcd diets are terribly good either when ttc, because drastic weight loss can affect your cycles/fertility.

That said, I wish I had dramatic weight loss! It would beat this slooooow weight loss any day. *sigh* Back up the 0.5kg. I wish it would just go down, even if slowly, and stay down, but nope. Always comes back a little and then goes down again - but not by much. I just don't get it. Oh well, at least I feel much better and I guess that's the main thing! =)

Have a good day ladies!

 

[lovie]

glad you are feeling much better strawberry! i so wish weight could only go one way it is not fair! I tend to under estimate how much i have lost as i hate it when i feel good about hitting a weight and then im .5kg heavier that evening or the next day

Thanks. I'm hoping the tests do show something so they can fix it and I can get on with getting my bfp I hate the waiting though.

How come you have to wait 4 months for yours?

I know what you mean about weight loss. You can see why those diets are tempting to shed the pounds quicker but it must be so much easier to put the weigh back on with those diets too. x

 

[StrawberryTTC]

ebony I know how you feel, I think the waiting is the hardest part! Well actually no, I think the not knowing if you'll ever get pg is the hardest part. If I knew I'd get pregnant a year from now, it'd be easier to wait, it's the not knowing if I'll ever get there that I can't handle.

My DH wasn't ready to get started with all the testing etc, so we agreed to wait till June to get that ball rolling. We're both overweight, so we're both concentrating on losing weight and getting healthier till then. He was feeling so anxious about it, that I thought I can afford to give him 6 months. After all, it's his baby we're trying for too, so have to respect his wishes. =)

Yes that is definately the hardest part. Every months fills you with more doubt too doesn't it?

My DH was really not looking forward to it but I had a chemical a couple of months ago and I think the upset spurred him on. He's now really worried that he'll be the problem but I really hope its me. He hates hospitals whereas I'd go for surgery without thinking about it if it meant having a baby.

It must be helpful that you are both trying to lose weight together and it shows he is serious about it by doing it too. xxx

Morning ladies,

How are we all doing this morning?

I have started taking evening primrose oil today and am curled up on the sofa reading Robert Winston, A child against all odds. Very interesting so far. It's amazing any humans manage to have children at all! I have a very peaceful weekend planned apart from a load of housework to do. I hate and there always seems to be masses of it.

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm shattered, I had quite a broken night of sleep and then when I was trying to go back to sleep after doing my temp this morning the dog woke me up by barking at the postman

Have taken the dog out for her walk and am now back in my pjs for a lazy day

Still on course food wise, have had a yoghurt and some dried banana chips so far, going to have salad and maybe a couple of cod cakes for lunch (I've never tried them before but spotted them in iceland last night and decided to give them a try).

I'm very excited for Monday, can't wait to get this initial assessment done

 

[Traskey]

for Lovie on the bfn. Fingers x it's just a bit too early to tell yet.

for Ebony on the chemical. I hope all the tests go well for you.

for Strawberry, what exercise are we going for today?

Emmy, sorry you had a night's sleep. Not long to go until the exercise starts yipeee

 

[EmmyReece]

hope you enjoy your book hun and the washing doesn't take up too much of your time

 

[EmmyReece]
