Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

So sorry af got you Lovie Will keep everything crossed for you for this cycle

Had a very, very late breakfast today so only had a bowl of special k, going to have another salmon salad for lunch with a multigrain pitta bread, an apple for a snack, probably have a can of baked beans later tonight for supper and maybe some berries and ww cream as a treat

 

[Traskey]

Mmm, I used to love a meringue, ww cream and berries. Sounds like a fab treat that's good for you.

2lbs off this week for me

Lovie, sorry the got you. I'm sure the tiny gain is water retention and will be gone next week.

Trask I've posted this in your journal, but I'm going to post pretty much the same here.

I am sooooo proud of you for hitting your target What you've done is shown amazing determination and courage throughout your time on LL. I couldn't think of a lady who has inspired me more

Awwwwwwwwwww Thank you Emmy, that is really kind of you

I've set myself a new target of another 21 lbs. Not all of it to be done on LL of course but a way to keep me on track when I do start eating again. I also decided I needed the motivation to stop me getting complacent and falling off the wagon.

I am glad you've had a loss Emmy, keep up the good work

 

[EmmyReece]

you're more than welcome hun

Had another good day food wise so far today I honestly think the thought of booking the wedding venue tomorrow is what's keeping me on track

 

[Traskey]

Oh yes. It always helps to have a goal in mind. Whether it's ov, babies or wedding dresses! Keep up the PMA Emmy, you are doing fabulously

 

[lovie]

well done trasky !!! I second what emmy said you are such a great inspiration!

have fun booking your venue tomorrow emmy, maybe you could stick a pic of the venue on your fridge to keep your motivation levels up?

I know I'm not rly dieting but I wanted to have a big smirk. I've lost 11 lbs now in 10 weeks. The majority was in the first few weeks from stopping drinking. I think 3 more lbs or so and I'm under the magical 35 bmi. Not gonna push myself ESP as I've just discovered White maltesars.

Hey girls, sorry not been around in ages.

For those who didn't know I had an ectopic in May, and have put a shit load of weight on since then. Nearly a stone and a half....

Got my next FS appointment Wed...

Thinking of doing lighter life. I started my "IVF" diet today.

Every time I feel like eating rubbish I just say "IVF" to myself in my head. Let's hope it works. Lol.

Missed you all...

Hope everyone is well.

[EmmyReece]

Hope the diet works for you hun, so sorry about everything that's happened

I have to say ladies, I'm in a foul mood now. Things went amazingly well at the venue, we're putting down our deposit in about a fortnight

But I had to get in touch with the exercise for life woman as mum is a p.a. down here and I won't be able to go, so she's thrown me off the scheme because I haven't "established a regular pattern of activity" with them and didn't take up the gym sessions on a monday or the circuit classes on a wednesday / thursday I've been ill, I injured my foot, I went away, I've had issues here with mum and I've always explained that, always made them aware that I'm meant to be available for mum as and when she needs me.

So now I have to break this news to the nurse on friday when I go for weigh in, she's gonna be so pissed off with me

Wow Cran, most people are gaining weight at this time, not losing 11lbs! That's amazing, well done you. Beware the white Maltesers, they are lethal but so yummy

Welcome back 4m I hopped into your journal but so sorry about the ectopic. The weight gain is totally understandable, i'm sure i'd have gained more if I'd been through the same as you.

I think IVF diet thinking is the only way to go. As the girls used to say to me "baby or cheese?" (my major downfall, especially if the packet is open). Every time you want to put something bad in your mouth keep it in mind. I'm not saying I haven't had slip ups but it seems to help. Fingers crossed for you whether you do LL or any other diet!

But I had to get in touch with the exercise for life woman as mum is a p.a. down here and I won't be able to go, so she's thrown me off the scheme because I haven't "established a regular pattern of activity" with them and didn't take up the gym sessions on a monday or the circuit classes on a wednesday / thursday I've been ill, I injured my foot, I went away, I've had issues here with mum and I've always explained that, always made them aware that I'm meant to be available for mum as and when she needs me.

I'm sure if you explain it to the nurse she will understand. Try not to panic about it. I'm afraid they will kick you off though if you don't attend regularly so that they can offer the place to someone else. Try not to worry.

Wow, what a great thread! I'm fairly new to BnB, but not necessarily TTCing. I've found that whenever I worked hard to lose some weight, I got pregnant (I didn't always keep that pregnancy, but at least I got as far as better ovulation). I really need to get my game face on and work on this since my BMI isn't where it should be. I have been very good about dropping soda and picking up water lately, so it's a good start for me! I do well with fresh veggies, when they're in the house (as opposed to, say, the store!). Hopefully I can pick up some more tips from you guys and get back on track. Good luck everyone!

Hi

 

[Traskey]

pcos bites!

Good luck with your weight loss journey. We are always around if you need support.

 

[PCOSbites]

Thank you for the welcome! I'm really kinda looking forward to this. I hate feeling yucky all the time, and I remember how fabulous I felt after a good workout. I really miss that feeling, it's very motivational. I'm just fed up with not being where I know I could be, especially since I'm a doctor's wife and feel like I should be a better example. Looking forward to losing with you all!

 

[cranberry987]

Have you tried a lowish carb diet, can help with the PCOS sometimes. I def found it harder to lose weight if I ate carbs

 

[keepsmiling]

well im strugglin now ladies... must be good! x

 

[Traskey]

well im strugglin now ladies... must be good! x

Ditto!!!!!

We must hang in there before going

 

[lovie]

hia all

4magpies im so sorry to here about your ectopic, no wonder you have gained some weight you have lost it before you can do it again... do you have a food that you cant resist like trasky cheese? we can make you a .....or ivf saying

hia pcosbites, good luck with your weightloss, its greta to here that weightloss has led to pregnancy in the past for you

cranberry well done you for your weight loss in pregnancy!!! its great that your so near a bmi of 35.... white maltesers im so envious!

emmy how anoying that they have made you stop going to excersise for life im sure your nurse will understand, it isnt your fault at all. now you have got a taste for it tho maybe there are some clases you can go to on your own terms?

i have no idea how this week has gone for me, im not going to second guess myself any more as im allways wrong!!! i have been not super good and not super bad so hopefully i will lose something! AF is on the way out, so im looking forward to bd-ing again soon, I have missed it this af.

I am trying to sort out my holidays, the plan is for us to drive up norway and go above the arctic circle and go on a whale watching boat, we would camp along them way, or even sleep in the car, we have a volvo (suprise suprise) estate so there is loads of space. you can camp anywhere you like in scandinavia so long as it isnt someones gardon. then we'd drive over to sweden and stay in håkans uncles cabin, they will also be there so it will be nice to relax and swim in the lake and go fishing, then we'd go to håkans mum and dads, and that will be nice aswell, alltho im sure i will gain weight she is such a good cook! then my mum is coming to sweden for 10 days with my sis and cousins and then im flying to the uk for 10 days, and then i am flying back with my other cousin and her 2 girls and they will be with us for a week or 2.... i cant wait for it all but it is going to be very busy!!

[Traskey]

Wow Lovie, that sounds like an amazing trip! I want to go whale watching so badly. Take some pics if you find some. You could totally sleep in a volvo estate, my dad has one and it's massive. The cabin sounds amazing. DH and I were talking about places we would like to visit and Sweden and Norway are absolutely on the list. As is the artic circle and whale watching.

I am totally jealous
