Bellys to Bumps

[Traskey]

PMA, PMA, PMA I do try! Mostly succeed but not always.

Zowiey, have a great time on holiday and get lots of lovings in Hubby will be so relaxed he won't mind. I know what you mean about the announcements, so I don't go in there anymore (especially on a downer day).

I've been for my weigh in and been for a swim so all in all a productive day Cleaned the windows and fixed the blinds. Lost 3 pounds this week, apparently that is a good amount per week. In the morning and naked I am 2lbs lighter but it's all progress. Now should I tell the FS next week the naked morning weight or the clothed late afternoon weigh in weight. Oh decisions, decisions

 

[zowiey]

Well done traskey!! I would say naked weight! And if you look on the nhs website it does actually tell you weigh to without clothes anyway! Good luck with the appt,my fingers are tightly crossed for you.

The nurse was realy sweet when i was weighed, it was actually at 90kgs but she put down 89kgs, it didn't make a difference to my bmi (and it is actually about what my weight is at Slimming world!) but still!

xxxx

 

[Traskey]

Oh, I like that idea Zowiey! What a nice nurse, with your weight Naked weight it is then and it's ok because the nhs said so, she can't argue with it Oh, i've lost a third of what I need to I have 40 lbs clothed, to lose to get under BMI 30. Probably take 3 months ish. I'll keep going, if I can manage it to get down to a healthy range, but it will be weird. Never been that thin in my life!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Well done on your loss traskey! You must have willpower made of iron!

 

[twinkle1975]

Yay the arrived!! Never been so happy to see her - that's 2 months with a 28 day cycle - might risk some OPKs next month!!

Traskey - naked weight definitely!!

Zowiey - think I've missed saying good bye - see you when you get back!

Cranberry - I had a curry too - made me feel so much better!

Strawberry - My ticker is just what I need to lose by August - to get my BMI under 30 I'd have to lose 79lbs - what a heifer I am! Hope yoy had a good day with DH.

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Good mornin ladies, how are you all today?

Traskey I'd go with naked weight too, since that's the only one you have with the same circumstances each weigh-in. With the others your clothes, how much you've eaten/had to drink during the day affects the results. So definitely naked morning weight!

twinkle yay for 28-day cycle!

zowiey enjoy your holiday and loads of holiday sex! lol l definitely don't read bfp announcements, haven't for ages, way too difficult for me.

As for me, I ate my weight in chocolate yesterday. Well not quite but not far off! But did me good, didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, so next time will be easier, and now I hope I'll find it easier to be super good for a good long while!

 

[Traskey]

Good morning everyone

Twinkle, that's fantastic news on two 28 day cycles Go for the opk next month.

Zowiey, happy travels!

Strawberry, glad you enjoyed your "day off" yesterday for DH birthday. Sorry the choccy didn't taste as good as you thought it would. Maybe your taste buds have changed?

for all

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Traskey probably something like that, used to eating healthily by now. Dh complained of the same thing!

Well I started off well with correcting yesterday's disaster: did 1 hour 15 mins of zumba, followed by 25 mins of kettlebell training. All together about 800 calories burned!

The only thing is that I've arranged to go visit my parents and friends next weekend, will drive down there on Friday, and back on Sunday. A 7 hour drive, ugh. But it's not that, it's maintaining my diet that will be difficult, nevermind exercise! I was thinking that perhaps I could take my zumba tape along and do that on Saturday, before going off to spend the evening at my friend's place? The food will be the difficult bit though.

 

[lovie]

hia all

definatly go with the naked 1st thing in the morning weight trasky if needs be just take all your chloths of they are nurses and doctors i am sure they have seen it lal before hehe

have a great holiday zowie! i hope you get lots of bd-ing in

well done strawberry for making up for yesterday, happy belated birthday to your OH i find that "bad" foods dont taste as good when i have been dieting for a while... they taste too sweet i think.

i am being a very bad ttc-er this month, i keep forgetting to temp and do my opk's i temped this morning anfd it was 26.8 way higer than usual, i didnt do anything special last night, no alcohol, but i did wake up late so maybe that is why, the problem is that i dont have any recent temps to compare it too.. im only on cd 10 so too early for OV i think, and i have had no ewcm... oh well i had better BD just incase.

how is everyone feeling about mothers day? im sad im not with my mummy today, she was a single mum to me and my brother and i think she is the most amazing woman in the world.. also facebook is full of my mummy friends saying things like "i am so lucky to be mum to harrison" and other enviable things like that! I hope next year we all have either tiny little baby or nice round bumps for mothers day xxxx

 

[twinkle1975]

Yeah my facebook is the same today. Plus as I work for a church I had to do a Mother's Day Family Service this morning & be all perky about it! I indulged myself with a cupcake & an hour listening to Adele on MP3 & having a theraputic cry!

 

[Lisa84]

Hello everyone

Hope you have all had a fab weekend xxx

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Hello ladies, how are you all? It's been quite quiet on this thread this weekend, hope it means you're all getting your mind off ttc and even weight loss!

I was happy as this morning the scales only showed 0.5kg gain. =) So hopefully I'll be down to my lowest weight and even lower really really soon! About 5dpo too, but I'm trying very hard not to think about that. In fact af should show around next weekend or right after, and as I'll be away that weekend I hope I won't have time to obsess too much!

 

[Lisa84]

I'm not too bad this morning! Bit busy at work so really should be on here lol

I am officially 1dpo today Got a good feeling about this month.
Mothers day hit me really hard yesterday so i'm glad i'm feeling positive xxx

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Lisa Yay for 1 dpo!

I've just been doing some reading. Scientific studies/articles about obesity and fertility, and have to say that in a way it's grim reading. Seems that pretty much everything is affected by being obese (ie bmi over 30), though ovulation most of all. If you're interested, I posted a few links in my journal. Of course the upside is that most likely all the negative things can go away by losing weight.

So we're all doing a wonderful job by losing weight! to us!

 

[Traskey]

Good afternoon everyone

Well done on not gaining too much Strawberry, on your day off. Congrats to Lisa for not missing that eggy

I think us losing weight is only going to be a good thing so we are on the right track trying to shed a few pounds.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I have completely fallen off the wagon and eaten far too much food over the weekend!

When I weigh myself tomorrow I'm just hoping for not too much of a gain - I'm gonna get back on track and be super healthy from tomorrow! I've still eaten lots of good nutritious food - I've just added some curly fries and naan bread and cheese on top.

Ooh lots of ladies are post ov right now! Fxed fxed fxed!!

 

[lovie]

hello

lil pixie you deserve some curly fries and naan bread! I hope you are feeling good

strawberry i will pop over and check out those links in your journal... from what i have read so far OV is the main thing that is changed by being overweight, I am glad that I OV (id be super silly to feel any differently) I do hope that I get better fertility when i loose weight!

hugs twinkle I bet the service was really touching! FX next year you have a little buba to celebrate with

afm ww again tomorrow i hope i have lost something! ttc is boring me at the moment.. for the last couple of nights we have been dtd every night.. i might just keep doing that every day and not worry too much about when i ov, alltho my OH might get a little tired!

xxx

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Good morning ladies, how are you all today?

from what i have read so far OV is the main thing that is changed by being overweight, I am glad that I OV (id be super silly to feel any differently) I do hope that I get better fertility when i loose weight!

This is true, but according to studies even when only looking at women who ovulate, us who have a high bmi are less likely to conceive anyway. So there's something other than the ovulating!

 

[twinkle1975]

Hello my lovelies - 10 hours without an update!!?? Hope you're all ok xxx

 

[Traskey]

Blimey Twinkle, good spot, we can't have that!

How are you? I am hoping that all of us are mums or mums to be by next Mother's Day. It's always a sucky day to get through.

I hope you are all having a good day food wise. I've had a banana shake, vanilla shake and peanut bar today and at 8 it will be chilli Now if only it tasted like a real chilli. One day soon. Well, in my case, probably won't be until the summer but I suppose in the grand scheme of things it isn't too long.

Hugs for all x
