Bellys to Bumps

[nikki79]

Hello,

I've been away from here for far too long, had to have time out to get my head together. TTC does get the better of you at times!

My weight loss has slowed down so ned a big kick up the backside to get back on track.

I put 4lbs on while on holiday and last week managed to lose 3 of them, didn't think 4lbs was too bad as we where in France and eating bread and cakes every day. It would have been rude not to!!

I now have my 3month supply of clomid so juts waiting for Af to arrive so i can ring up for my scan and hopefully start taking them next month. There is no chance my BMI will be 30 or under in 3 weeks so in 2 minds whether to wait or not. I can't really see of few pounds stopping it working but who am i too know better.

Well done everyone who has lost wait and there are quite a few new faces around here since my last visit.

Nik

Oh dear - I've had such a lovely weekend but am pretty sure I've put that 5lbs I lost last week back on!!

We went to a murder mystery night on Friday at a friend's house - had nice bread & olive oil, lasgne & tiramisu, then Saturday we went out with my sister in law and brother in law for a curry then yesterday we went to Wales with friends - had chicken & ham pie & chips for lunch, a hot chocolate & spaghetti bolognese & cheesy garlic bread for tea (although everyone else had pizza & I didnt!)

Yum yum yum but eek!

Well done for only putting 4lbs on in France!! and losing it so quickly - I'm very impressed!!

 

[twinkle1975]

Thanks hun let us know how your wi goes tomorrow

Just waiting for Chris to come to bed, he's going to give me a back rub as I jarred my back earlier - Mum was going up the ramp in her car too fast and tipped herself backwards onto the floor so I had to help Nikki lift the wheelchair with Mum in it and try get it back onto 4 wheels, which we did, but ended up breaking the wheelchair in the process

How is your back Emmy?

 

[twinkle1975]

I did gain this week, only about a pound but as I started eating again I wasn't surprised. Fortunately my stomach has shrunk so much that it takes very little for me to be full. I'm hoping it will come off this week as my body gets working again.

Well done Trask - that's fab!

 

[twinkle1975]

hello

I hope the wi goes well trask.. FX for a sts or even a supprise loss it must feel great to have a dinner take so long! do things taste different to how you remembered?

emmy well done on the sts, i think its bloody impossible to loose weight when AF is on the way. I hope your mum was ok after the wheelchair fall,and i hope your back gets better soon

did you have a longer cycle because of the mis-time? korma is my happy food, it really is just amazing, its one of the things that helps me diet, sweden doesnt have all my favorite foods, i really couldnt resist korma if i lived near a curry house.

this week ww is on my birthday, and its allso the day af is due, so im not holding out much hope.. all i want is a sts as the fluid retention will be being a pain!

is it just me or has this month gone super fast?

I didn't have a longer cycle -which totally confused me!! I had a Malaya curry on saturday night - like a korma but with banana & cashews in - sound yuck tastes yum!!

 

[twinkle1975]

STS this week for me... codine bloat and ovulation, and im constipated (TMI sorry!!).

Hope you're feeling a bit better xxxx

 

[Traskey]

4M. Ov and constipation sucks, especially when those mean scales stay the same.

Nik, welcome back. I'd have gained loads if I was in France. All those croissants and french baguettes mmmmmmmm.Well done on losing most of it again already.

Twinks, sounds like a lovely weekend. I agree with Becca, food porn!

 

[twinkle1975]

Oh it was, it was - I'm sure I shall be fantasising about it later this week as I'm tucking into my lettuce!!

 

[EmmyReece]

Twinks, sounds like you had a fab weekend hun

4magpies, hope the constipation eases off soon and the scales start reflecting the hard work you've been putting in again

Well done on losing those extra lbs Nikki, hope it doesn't take long to lose the last 1.

How's everyone else doing?

My back is feeling loads better now, had a few backrubs off Chris and just took it easy. Haven't done very well food wise today as I was so nervous about seeing the wedding venue again and making everything official, so Chris made me have a bacon roll from the co op on our way back

Just lurking atm as am working on our save the date magnets

Hi, I recently lost my second baby in 6 months. I am so overcome with grief not understanding how this could happen to me again. I have an appointment to see my ob/gyn this Wednesday to discuss referrals to specialists who will run tests to hopefully figure out what's going on. I gained a significant amount of weight (currently bmi is in obese category) because of the PCOS and insulin resistance and I keep thinking that my weight has to be the reason why I keep losing my babies. I'm wondering if anyone else who's overweight/obese with PCOS has been able to successfully carry to full-term. I forgot to mention that I conceived both babies with clomid.

I just wanted to throw in my towel the other day after I had had my one year anniversary of TTC and also I weighed in at 50 lbs over what I want to be. Whomever is in this group, I reach to you for support but also I wish to offer my own prayers to you as I empathize with you and hope to see you soon with children, lots and lots of smiling children!

 

[Reba]

Aww I love the name of this thread
I'm TTC #1 and also trying to lose weight too! I have PCOS and need to lose at least 50lbs to start. My short term goal is 25 and it's really really slowly coming off. I've been working out and watching what I've been eating for just over 4 weeks now and I've lost 2 lbs.

So far I've had no OV so I'm hoping that weight loss will help!

Hi

So sorry to hear about this. Are you in metformin? Theres a small bit of evidence which shows that the risk of mc can be lowered from
Pcos levels of 40% or so to normal levels. It is only one study and people mc for a number of reasons. I have pcos and am 17w at the moment (was also a clomid baby) so touch wood all is fine. Plenty of people do carry to full term with pcos so I hope next time is your keeper

And again, are you on metformin? It can help with anovulation and some say it helps with weight loss but it never helped me. Try a low carb diet too, lots say that helps dieting with pcos
