Sorry I wasn't very clear there - we all weigh in on different days - just let us know when you do your 'official' WI of the week!!!

 

[twinkle1975]

My official weigh in is Saturday, but I have a sneak on the scales daily Bad I know!

It was 7lbs for me over the two weeks, as I didn't weigh in last week.

Woohoo - well done Traskey!

Well done on the 2lbs hun. When are you 23 then? xx

 

[twinkle1975]

How are you all doing today? - I'm back on the wagon this week - well since Monday - will finally go back to WW on Thurs so fingers crossed!

 

[Traskey]

Good luck for Thursday Twinks.

I've had a couple of tough days with the diet that I feel really bad about but back on the pma wagon again. Just hope I haven't done too much damage at WI on Saturday.

Dont use your scales whatever you do, they are evil and wrong.

 

[Traskey]

Lol, that they are but just sometimes they are particularly good at kicking me up the arse when I am naughty .

hi ladies!
Can i join?
Im 31 dh is 36. We have been ttc for 13 years now. Sas fine and im ovulating, having hycosy 23rd of june and hoping it clears the way for bfp! Otherwise ivf! My bmi is 37! Really need to lose the weight!

 

[Traskey]

Hi DreamQueen

Of course you can join us, all are welcome and the ladies on here are really supportive. Sorry you've been trying for so long but fingers crossed the HSG gives your tubes a clear out for a bfp. That would be fab otherwise on to IVF. Are you going for healthy eating or following a diet plan?

Love the pic of the furbaby

Trask...hi
i see you are doing Lighterlife?
I did that too and lost 5 stones but had to stop when my bmi was 25 as i had low blood pressure and felt so dizzy when i stood up. I even fainted twice! When i mentioned to my llc she became really defensive and said it was nothing to do with ll! But it definately was and i had to put my health first. So started eating again and ended up with the most awful gastric reflux! I had never experienced even the mildest heartburn before! Luckily i dont get it now, but it lasted for a year and was agony! My periods stopped too and everyone said i looked ill! I guess they are symptoms of anorexia! I was starving myself and ll was teaching me how to do that! Dont get me wrong i loved the weight loss! 3 stone in just 10 weeks! And i actually felt it was the easiest diet id ever done! After the 1st couple of weeks the time just flew by! I have even considered doing it again as it really is the easiest way to do it, but i dont think i could cope with that gastric refluc again! A big pat on the back for you losing all that weight though! What a fab job uv done! I hope u get lucky with the ivf! X

dont know how im going to lose the weight Trask i really dont. I just cant stick to a diet and have been 'big' most my adult life. Ll is the only diet that i could stick to and that sounds crazy cos its the strictest but im an all or nothing kind of girl and need to change that mindset. The cbt with ll was amazing tho. Kept me going each week x

 

[dreamqueen]

and ur spaniel is gorgeous too x

I am dizzy all the time! Every time I get up the stupid room spins. I talked to my LLC about it and she said some people do suffer from it. We were obviously those people. Others in my group have no problems at all. I asked on the LL forum and quite a few people were having it.

I thought i'd got away with ok periods but this month my period has been almost non existant so i'm not impressed with that at all. However, I am stopping the diet when I see the FS on July 7th. LL want me to continue until my BMI is normal but I won't because the FS will probably take me off it when the referral goes through for ivf next month. This is my 13th week. It works but I have found it tough at times. I have another month so hope to lose another stone as i'm sure some will go back on when I start eating again. Sorry you had such a bad gastric reflux after eating again. Hope I don't get that but suspect I will. I was on meds for that before I started LL.

I am switching to Slimming World when I come off LL. A couple of the girls here are doing well on Weight Watchers. I've been big all my life too so I know the feeling. I do now know my food triggers, thanks to the CBT so I can try to identify when I am going to make bad decisions.

Most of us have animals of some sort. I have 2 cats hiding around the house too. Crazy maternal instincts

 

[dreamqueen]

i think that your plan is great Trask. But deffo introduce food slowly. I came off lll straight away and i swear nothing prepared me for the giant hedgehog poo! Tmi sorry lol. It was the biggest thing i ever saw nd was like giving birth! Even put me of ttc for a bit lol. My plan was healthy eating and join the gym. Unfortunately never got round to the gym part and when my dog and best friend died that was the healthy eating out the window. So be wise and not like me. Im sure u will do great though babe x

 

[cranberry987]

Id love to do LL but I rly think I wouldnt stick to it. Im such an emotional eater, If I have a bad day its food for comfort, and if Im pissed off about a diet, its food. Also strangely if I have a great day/lose loads of weight I think 'oh, I deserve a treat'!

I love SW, as long as you like muller lite and pasta n sauce youre all set

 

[dreamqueen]

congrats on your bfp cranberry! Did u do anything different the month u got bfp? Ive done sw before too and lost nearly 2 stone but my motivation died off and i started pigging out again! Ll worked for me because i coundnt eat anything apart from the packs and the strictness worked for me. The 1st couple weeks where real rough but after that it became normality not to eat so i stopped thinking bout it all the time. Unforunately though you dont just lose fat, u lose alot of muscle too (my brother calls it the skinny n saggy diet) cheeky bugger that he is! I looked ok with clothes on but didnt like myself naked and still thought i was fat when i wasnt. I suppose nothing beats good old exercise and healthy eating combo but i end up opting for a quick fix every time! Might just go back to sw and see how it goes, and if it fails then might have to do ll esp if ivf ends up my only option x
