I like to stay at 165. I've never been thinner than that as an adult and not sure that I could or would want to maintain anything lower than that. But....right now I'm 180. I feel sluggish, chubby, and my pants don't fit. I need to stick with a diet. Today I've eaten 900 calories and still will eat dinner. I figure if I can stick to about 1300-1500 cal a day I should drop some pounds.

Have any of you ladies tried softcups?? I got my BFP the second cycle using them, and a lot of ladies in my TTC thread had the same experiences. Just a suggestion, if you haven't tried them

We'll let me weight shame you all.

Pre dd1 150
(Gained 50)
Pre dd2 200
(Gained 25)
Current 225

So yea quiet all you under 200

 

[slg76]

Thanks for the soft cup advise. I am using them. They are easier to use than you would think.

Looks like we all need to cheer each other on with some healthy eating. I always forget just how much I have to cut back to really lose weight. 1400 calories doesn't feel like much at all!!! I know I get used to it after a week or two. 1100 cal so far today and enough left for an app,e and fudge bar after emily goes to bed; my Olympics snack

I'm right there with you all! I'm 5 foot 10. I was 160 before I got pregnant with our son that we lost at 18 weeks. I had gained almost 20 lbs, when we lost him. I went through months of crying and not leaving the couch. I was 184 when I got pregnant in Oct 2012, with who is now our 7 month old son. I stopped weighing myself when I hit 225, so I have no idea hat I weighed when I had him. Right now, I'm about 187. I' breastfeeding, so I have to eat more than I'd like.....I'm also a chocoholic, lol. I'm scared to work out while ttc...plus I admit that Ihate working out. Except for running....which my ginormous boobs can not handle right now, lol....

Well as 10dpo comes to an end I have 1 bfn under my belt- not even a evap line to squig at- but no spotting yet. That's usually my tell tale sign AF is coming. Will see what tomorrow brings- no spotting on 11dpo and maybe I'll be testing on 12

Y'all make me feel better! I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and i feel like it hasn't helped.. it's been 3 weeks so not that long.. I'm just ready to look and feel better!!!

Ooo!! Sounds promising Meagan!

I think when we "go hard" in the summer if it hasn't happened by then, we'll try pressed AND softcups. Lately I've needed extra lube.. Not sure why I haven't been as... ok y'all know me well enough by now.. wet. DH is worried I'm not as turned on and I think it may actually be part of it. We've both gained weight and I'm too self conscious right now. Plus he's gained a lot too, but I still find him attractive!

So sorry about your son dove The farthest loss I had was 13 weeks and I couldn't bring myself to find out their genders

 

[nicoley]

Here's a test to tweek...there's nothing that I can see..

 

[LeahLou]

Pics kind of fuzzy!

 

[nicoley]

Ok let me see what I can find I have one of the test dried..the line that I seen had dried much darker..

 

[nicoley]

One of the dried tests...no I shouldn't look but it caught my eye

 

[nicoley]

That first one was my poor attempt to tweek..

 

[MeaganMackenz]

Nothing like a huge " NOT PREGNANT " staring at you to kick start your day!!
Ugh why did I waste the digital lol

 

[slg76]

meagan; a negative digital is the worst!! sounds like AF is a little late in showing so fingers crossed.

dove; my loss was much earlier than yours and still so hard. I can't imagine having that much time to get attached to the baby before the loss. I gained about 5 pounds after my miscarriage. I'm just starting a diet and trying to keep it under 1400 calories a day. Yesterday was 1250. Yay me. And, I'm hungry!!!

Leah; how much weight have you lost so far? I have such a hard time starting these diets. I get crazy hungry. My poor tummy was growling most of the night. I just have to stick it out until my body adjusts.

 

[MeaganMackenz]

I'm not late for AF get, not due til Wednesday but it's okay I didn't think this month was it- id be happier if it happened next month lol

 

[dove830]

Thanks guys. It was without a doubt the worst thing, and hardest part of my entire life, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I'm also one of those people with super hungry tummies at first

[clynn11]
