Well done Miss Z - I've got shingles atm but once they've gone I'm going to start swimming!

 

[xMissxZoiex]

You burn LOADS of calories swimming!. I would love to get back in the pool again (Used to be a Lifeguard) But dont really like swimming on my own and no one wants to come lol.

Yeah I'd rather go with someone but I can't keep putting off exercising so I'm just going to have to go for it - despite being mostly blind without my glasses!!

My name is Tonda and I'm 22, OH is turning 30 in September. Currently I am tipping the scales at 240-250 lbs, and nothing seems to be getting rid of it. I eat healthier than I did when I used to be 175. I used to walk more back then.. and I started to get back into that.. until I strained the tendon in my ankle and now I can barely walk let alone go on mile long walks for the exercise value.

I remember when I was 175 I used to think I was huge. I don't even look 250 now.. but the weight all seems to be in my thighs.

I go through pants way too often from chafing.

Well done on the loss Cran

I lost 1.5, not too sure how much (if anything) I will have lost by next weigh in as we've had unexpected visitors and I haven't been sticking to plan, but they went home today so am back on it as of tomorrow

 

[twinkle1975]

Welcome Tonda - are you doing any sort of diet or just trying to eat healthier?

 

[No Doubt]

Hi ladies! Do you mind if I join? I keep looking at this forum thinking maybe I should give it a go.

I have an underactive thyroid and pcos, so as you can imagine taking the weight off is....what's the word...impossible.

We recently decided to a break from the meds and docs, temping, opks, etc. etc., and let God deal with our fertility issues. In the mean time I said I was going to actively try to lose these last 25lbs, which I also thought would be a nice distraction from ttc.

GL to all you ladies on the weight loss and ttc!

 

[twinkle1975]

Welcome No Doubt - well done on your weightloss so far - great job!!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Welcome ladies!!

Sorry I've not posted much in here, I'm being a really bad dieter and I'm feeling really guilty about it!

 

[EmmyReece]

don't feel guilty hun, we're all here to help in anyway that we can

hi to the new people joining the more the merrier

 

[xxshellsxx]

Ladies i'd like to join in here if i can please

My friend is a WW leader is now becoming my mentor and i get all my stuff Tomorrow hopefully to begin Monday... i've got a fair old bit to lose and will need somewhere to keep me going and i'm hoping in here will be a great place with so many of you doing so well

Thanks xx

 

[twinkle1975]

Welcome shells - the ladies here are pretty good at keeping each other going! I lost 2 and a half stone on WW - have got a bit bored recently so I'm trying Slimming World!

 

[xxshellsxx]

Ah i know what you mean about getting bored, i lost 4 stone a few years ago (put half of it back on ) but got bored shifting the rest. Never done WW before so thought this might keep me going, but great idea once you get bored to switch to a new plan, keeps it fresh maybe!

 

[Mrs.Stockwell]

I've tried dieting.. but they never worked. Currently I'm just trying to eat healthier, there's an app on my nook that gives me a calorie limit but that's about it.

 

[WhisperOfHope]

hi ladies mind if i join you i was pointed here by Lil_Pixie been ttc for 3 years in august with pcos and trying my hardest to get down to a healthy bmi hubby is also over weight but says he will do it in his own time but i am desperate to get thin again and get my confidece in my body back, i was slowly loosing it but started clomid this cycle and just seems to of come back im eating healthy and dont particulay eat much could happily go without food in a day

 

[No Doubt]

I take levothyroxine for my thyroid and my doctor prescribed me phentermine which is an appetite suppressant. Luckily it doesn't interfere with ttc. I did some research on it myself and it seems to have helped a lot of women lose weight, and a lot have fallen pregnant on it...still waiting on that second part...lol. I'm eating healthier and I used to workout more regularly...just started getting back into that.

Hello ladies. I was hoping to join you. I too have some pounds to lose. We have been ttc for almost 2 years. I have pcos and hypothyroidism. We have tried clomid and femara and neither has worked but both seemed to have packed on more pounds. We are now considering ivf, but i want to lose some pounds before that to give us the best possible odds. I too was just started on phentermine and took the first one today. It gave me loads of energy. I am trying to follow somewhat of a ww plan and plan to start working out soon. Hoping to get that BFP.

 

[twinkle1975]

Welcome whisper & vjp xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

Lots more new people

It's all focus, focus, focus for me today, I've got just under 3 weeks until we go to turkey so am really going for it, plus losing the weight can't hurt ttc can it?

 

[No Doubt]

Morning ladies, what do you find your biggest struggles are and how do work with them? I find that it's easy for me to eat healthy and proportionately but then one day I'm in the mood for something tasty so I eat that something tasty and the few lbs I did lose come back on so then I spend the next week losing those few lbs again...vicious cycle.
