Mamas or soon to be mamas who are morbidly obese, lets be buddies!

Well it's a start. I have faith I'll lose it again and this time actually reach my goal. Now that DH is fixed at least getting pregnant won't get in the way of my weight loss lol

That does sound scary :\ I'm hoping to avoid skin removal surgery when I'm done.

I'm not going to push you into it but once you get the hang of WW it is super easy. It doesn't take much to get into it and it's easy to figure out. Even 5-10 minutes a day and you can have everything logged. And if you have a kitchen scale then you're pretty much set.
Whatever you do, I wish you luck

Just got a letter from The Christie hospital, got an appointment for 30th April so 5 weeks tomorrow, they don't like to rush themselves but at least I have a date now.

Hope all you ladies are well and well done on your weight losses, my dieting has been none existed hard under the circumstances but I'm hoping to start hopefully tomorrow, I know I've gained weight but I'm not going to weigh myself just yet.

 

[Try Rocking]

I'm doing ok! Doing what I can although I'm not exercising much, just the odd walk here or there. My fitbit hasn't been reaching 10k steps that often :\

JM I'm glad you finally have a date. I hope it goes by quickly Don't worry about the diet, do what you can when you can. You're in a stressful situation and it's hard to focus on other things.

 

[jessicasmum]

Thank you.
Your doing great, wish I had your will power at the moment but i feel like I've got even worse in the last few weeks and all I'm doing is thinking about food and eating crazy amounts, I know its in my best interests to lose some before I have the operation when ever it will be but there just feels like no will power there at all

Hey girls!

Hoping I can join? I've read the whole thread from beginning to end!!

I'm Vicky, and have recently restarted on weight watchers. We are also NTNP baby number 2, but are having no luck. I fell pregnant on my 2nd cycles with our first LO, but we are now on 6 months in and nothing. My periods have gone completely irregular since June last year and I have no idea where I am in my cycle. My last period was 16th Jan and I'm definitely not pregnant. I am feeling really rubbish about this as it is out of my control. I THINK my irregular periods is down to personal stress. My mum is mentally unwell and she is really really bad at the moment and I am struggling to cope with it all. However, it could be down to a different reason, who know's!

I had a lightbulb moment re weight loss a few weeks back, when yet another person I know fell pregnant after 1 month of trying. That's about 6 people close to me now! It was like the push I needed to lose weight! I've been on ww now since 9th March and I've lost 3.5lbs in two weeks. I have always been a slow loser and a slow gainer. I started at 17 stone 2lbs and am now 16 stone 12.5 lbs. I love weight watchers , it works for me. We are still going to be ntnp whilst losing weight, but right now I feel like I am never going to get pregnant I will do to the Dr's about my irregular periods, but not until i've lost a little bit more as I don't want them saying my weight is the factor behind it.

I have a fitbit and I try and walk at least 10,000 steps on a non work day. I am hoping this will really help with the weight loss.

I've done ww before and lost 2 stone. I then tried several more times, but fell off the wagon really quickly. I really need to be on this for the long term and stay motivated so need to try something different. Have a journal and joining this thread will hopefully help!

JM You're doing what you can and honestly, if it were me I would be feeling the exact same way. You take comfort where you can and we aren't in a weight loss group if we don't all take it from the same place. We are here for you

Hi Vicky I posted on your other thread. I hope with the weight loss you can conceive soon! I know how frustrating it is. It took us a long time to conceive my daughter. When I started losing weight is when it actually ended up happening.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom, that has to be incredibly stressful.
Your little girl is beautiful

 

[topsy]

JM yep don't worry about your diet right now Hun. just look after yourself.

Hi Vicki you are in the right place here hun. Sorry your cycles are over the place at the mo sweetie, hope you fall with another LO soon. FX for you.

xxxx

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi Heather - I am glad that they have set up an appointment for you. Hope everything will go well at that appointment. Dont worry you are not the only one off track. I am seriously not doing well either. Dont stress too much about your weight now hun, you can always start again once things resolve. I know losing weight would be the last thing on my mind if I was in your situation.

Welcome Vicky! How many lbs are you trying to lose total (sorry if you mentioned and I overlooked it). This is a great place to be, the ladies on here are very supportive. TR is also on ww right now and she has many good things to say about the program, maybe you ladies can chat about that.

 

[Try Rocking]

I love WW!

I'm struggling. I'm staying on track but I'm sleep deprived and stressed and seriously all I want to do is eat everything I shouldn't. Why is it I always go for everything I shouldn't when I go off track? It's not a free for all and it all adds up (quickly!). I know better and yet I still fight with myself when I'm having a bad day not to do it.
I'm just tired.
Tomorrow is WI. Today I was up from where I was yesterday but I don't officially count it until tomorrow. I hope tomorrow is a good WI. I'd love to at least be back to where I was 2 weeks ago before I had 2 bad days. Why am I still trying to lose 2 bad days worth of crap?? Ugh.

 

[jessicasmum]

Thanks ladies. I just worry about that with out any weight loss I'm putting myself more at risk of complications when it comes to me having the operation.
Its 6 weeks until my 30th tomorrow so I'm hoping I could have lost something.

Welcome Vicky.

 

[Try Rocking]

Understandable hon. What about every time you feel like eating something (or more than) you shouldn't, running up and down the stairs twice or having a large cup of water?
I sometimes find the water trick helps deter me because by the time I'm done I don't really feel like it anymore, or my tummy is too full from the water.

I have finally lost the weight I put on 2 weeks ago. I had 2 bad days because I was a total mombie and I was a lump on the couch. I'm now down 18 lbs.
97.6 lbs to go!

 

[pompeyvix]

I am sorry to hear what you are going through, Jessicamum It must be really difficult right now.

I haven't got an end goal yet hello_kitty. I am really hoping to fall pregnant before I reach my goal weight ( whatever that may be!). I am just looking at small goals , with the aim of losing 2 stone by the time we go on holiday in June...

Yay for losing TR!! It's crazy how much 2 bad days of eating can affect weight loss. I find the whole thing so confusing..... before I started weight watchers, I was probably eating a LOT of points per day....I reckon between 60 & 80 easily, yet I didn't really gain any weight. Now I am on the plan, sticking to points, it's coming off but slowly. I don't get that!

 

[Try Rocking]

I don't know, it's a magical program that knows exactly how much we should eat lol
It worked for me before and it's working for me again, I don't argue or try and figure it out lol

It is crazy how quickly it adds up! It's not like I had my period in the middle of that, it was just there and I had to work it off. It's crazy.
I'm having a light cheat day, I'm being good-ish lol
I don't want to mess up the last 2 weeks so I'm calling the odd nibble of things good. It'll hold me for now lol

 

[hello_kitty]

So you ladies who are on WW is there a cutoff time that you stop eating before bedtime? I feel that everything I do comes down to me not being active enough and eating extra calories. I had a personal trainer before my wedding over 4 years ago and he said not to eat past eight. My husband keeps pointing out that he doesnt understand why I am struggling with weight loss. It just seems like a few years has passed ant I am still at point A. My husband and my family (mom and sibs) are concerned for me because I am still so young (25) and carry so much weight its concerning. I am fine atm but they are scared for me because who knows what could happen tomorrow because of my weight. Plus I am planning on another baby next year and do not want to carry no. 3 with all this weight.

Depressing really....

 

[hello_kitty]

So I am going to start this all over again starting tomorrow. I am going to post a most recent pic of myself since I still weigh the same when pic was taken and I will uppdate once the weight drops off. Any one wanna join me with updating pics? Could be fun and motivation.

This picture was taken a year ago but I weigh pretty much the same as I do now (shame on me). Its one of those rare moments where I agree to taking a full body shot.
