Thats awesome Eve! Way to go!!

I havent weighed myself since last time but I will probably weigh myself on Sunday.

 

[Eve]

Fingers crossed for a good WI on Sunday!

 

[hello_kitty]

i havent really lost anything. Probably because I havent gone to the gym for the past week due to work.

What are your work outs like? I think i need to do something at home.

 

[Eve]

I do turbo jam videos lol love them tbh! I haven't done them much this week though as I've been walking lots. This week alone I've walked 26-28km's!

Scales didn't budge all week, and even went up some... finally movement the last two days again from 208.2- 205.2! Should see a steady loss for a week or so before body preps for AF to arrive

 

[hello_kitty]

Oh wow, nearly 20 lbs off! I havent weighed myself because my scale seems to be broken with the way off numbers, thats less than 200 which is impossible. It jumps around a lot.

You do look different though! I do not notice a difference so if I do lose based off scale, its probably just water weight.

 

[Eve]

We went out for dinner last night and I got what I used to, fish and chips and a drink (jungle rumble lol) and am up 1lb this morning. I didn't go over my calories set to maintain weight but the amount of salt would be deadly! I didn't even enjoy it. My stomach was terrible after that.

Hi everyone,

Another MO ttcer here. Trying to lose weight (always) but I'm a big comfort eater and sweet tooth. Hope you are all good x

 

[Eve]

Sweets are the worst!! I love them... like LOVE them.

Hi. I'm new to this thread and I just found I'm pregnant again. I don't want to gain weight. I'm already heavier than any of my other pregnancies. Ugh. I don't know how to eat well during pregnancies.

 

[Eve]

Over 20lbs gone now! No movement all week mind you but FINALLY yesterday (when AF arrive) it started to go down!

Xpecta- It's not always easy to eat well while pregnant. I tried to each as much fresh fruit and veggies as I could and lean proteins but craved grease and anything deep fried lol

Congratulations btw! and welcome!

 

[Xpecta]

Thanks Eve! Yeah, I'm finding it difficult. I don't have super cravings, but the "I'm pregnant" mentality keeps getting me. I need to not let it!

 

[Xpecta]

Also, congrats on being 20 down!! That's awesome!!

 

[Eve]

Thanks!

Yep, you don't need to "eat for two" exactly. You need more calories than before but I don't think it's too much more (someone on here should know possibly)

 

[Xpecta]

Oh yeah. It's only between 200 and 300 calories more per baby. Not very much at all.

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi Xpecta! Congrats on your pregnancy! I was really paranoid with gaining weight during my first pregnancy. I also had horrible ms during first tri and lost 6 lbs. I only gained 7 lbs before I delivered, and when I got back home I was lighter than before I was pregnant...so its totally possible.

I am at a standstill right now. I am eating more fruits and veggies but its so hard. Almost everything makes me gain weight.

 

[Xpecta]

Ugh. I'm not doing very well so far.

 

[Eve]

202.2 this morning!! 22.4lbs total loss so far I'm so close to being under 200

HK- You'll get there. Play around with your foods some there has to be a combination that really will work for you

Xpecta- You've got this! Today is a new day!

Congratulations!! That's fantastic!! Yeah, yesterday wasn't too bad. I just wish that the intense Hunger pangs wouldn't come late at night!

I feel like sh*t. I'd managed at one point to get right down to 17st 2 from 18st 11. Since then I've gone back up by 10lbs - although not sure if I've lost or gained in between times. The MIL-to-be, we used to get on so well. She doesn't like me right now as she thinks I'm wanting to live off the money her son - my OH - makes, ie not wanting to get a job, and she made a comment about how I didn't want to lose weight and all I do is complain about my bad back and my bad knees. Since then I've seen a comment she made to my OH - he doesn't know I've seen it - 'get off the f**king phone, I'm trying to ring you. You've only just left the Hefner' She makes regular typos when she sends any sort of message and so I've taken Hefner to mean heffer(or however its meant to be spelt) so I know this is another dig at my weight I'm really struggling and I want to be able to chuck it in her face that I CAN lose weight. I feel so down right now though and feel like a failure. Currently sat here stuffing brie and crackers down my neck thanks to her

Sorry for the rant, I'd rather do it here than on facebook for obvious reasons

 

[hello_kitty]

Congrats Eve! Thats very fab! You are doing wonderful!

Mummy_Ellie - sorry you are going through this with the MIL. MILs can be so awful! I'm not doing well myself and so astonished at those who are doing so well! I wish I had the same motivation. Its so hard because dh always wants to eat good food, and its hard for me not to eat like them. I have school all day tomorrow, so tomorrow will probably be a good day of not being near the kitchen. I hope you find your motivation soon and successfully start losing the weight. I still have yet to find the trick.
