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

Hi little fish so have I. ...Let's start a fresh tomorrow (it's 10.15 pm here so I won't eat anything else tonight. See your in the UK too what diet are u following hun? Dont know about you but I always binge at night time?

Good morning

I'm trying to get by on 1000cals per day with occasional fast day. Some days I succeed but more often than not I binge.

How about you?

I don't think 1000 calories is enough. When I was trying to stick to 1200 daily I was finding myself so hungry and wanting to binge often.. felt like it was setting myself up for failure. If you work out as well, you can lose weight while eating more calories daily.

Hello one and all And a special hello to the new ladies!

I fell so far off the wagon I didn't think it's come back around for me to get back on! Lol. But I'm determined to do it and I'm going to be getting some shopping in in the next few days and I'm going to buckle right down and lose some weight.

Wish me luck!!

Not doing much working out at the moment Feel too fat to go to the gym. Ironic, I know.

1000 cal is maybe a little to few hun.

But understand whats best for you... I am doing sw ... but am also going to watch my cals- Aiming for between 1500-1700 a day But thats just me.

I am not very active because I have ME I walk when i can-Normally around shops!!!!!! and go to aqua once a week.

How are you doing little fish?

xxxxx

Hi ladies hows everyone? Little fish i actually like going to the gym it makes me feel more energetic and my gym does have people my size so its not bad. I started running which is great. I used to run for 1 min followed by resting now i run for 2 min. My shins hurt today. Im also going low carb. I had a bad week but started fresh on monday. I just bought 2 new winter jackets that i absolutely love but it fits tight on me, so hoping to lose weight so i can wear it by xmas.

My personal trainer actually told me to eat 1200 cal to lose weight.

 

[Eve]

HK, that's great you're running! I'm going to start the couch to 10K and hope by early summer I can do a 5-10K marathon!

1200 should be the minimum you eat in a day No less!

I have a life trak watch on and it measures calories burn by heart rate and even on my lazy weekend days where I don't work out and get maybe 2000 steps all day, I still burn like 1800-2000 cals in 24 hours. I've done nothing today (not even out to the school bus) and it's sitting at 725 already at 9am.

Topsy, I would love to do workouts in the pool!

Little fish- I understand the "too fat" feeling but I'm sure there are lots of women and men who may feel that way and get in there and enjoy it.. I would go with you if I were closer!

Was doing super good last night and was certain I would be under 229 this morning but dh came home from work at 9:30 pm and took us to Denny's. I should've ordered their low cal meal but instead I ordered the breakfast slam. Good thing was my kids ate off of my plate as well, so I ended up eating half the portion size...so I guess it wasnt too bad?

Anyway, woke up this morning and went to the gym, came home and weighed myself at 229.6 which is actually nice. I was expecting a gain but instead I weighed the same as yesterday. Keeping my fingers crossed that I weigh 228 by thanksgiving which is on thursday. I dont care if its water weight or whatever, I just want to finally see a new number.

 

[topsy]

HA well done for sharing with the kids i am sure you will meet your thanksgiving goal. xxx

 

[hello_kitty]

Thanks Topsy! Dh keeps tempting me with food, not on purpose of course. We went out to eat last night and he wanted sushi today so we went out and ate again. It's hard to accommodate each other when one person is on a diet the other is not. Since I'm so paranoid about gaining the weight back tomorrow, I will be going to the gym to do some running again tonigh when dh gets home. Hopefully my weight will shift fo the better tomorrow.

 

[hello_kitty]

Finally 229 even today...geez losing weight seems so hard but every little bit counts.

Had subway for breakfast. Usually i would have it on italian cheese and herb, today i opted for 9 grain oat and asked to be cut into thirds. That would last me for the day. Usually i would eat the whole thing in 1 sitting.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and 254lbs and already having some swelling in my legs and ankles.. My doctors office said it's common for overweight woman to start selling this early. I'm just hoping after my ultrasound I'm cleared to start swimming again three days a week... Try and help keep the weight gain to a minimum and be ready to hit the ground running after I deliver..

Hi ladies - i am just starting out with my ttc journey.
I have been blessed with normal cycle but I am scared that being obese will seriously influence fertility. Both me and dh are more than 100kg. Any advice to make it happen?

Good luck hun. If you watch what you eat, you probably wont gain much. I gained 7 lbs with my first and 11 lb with my second.

I was obese for both pregnancies and had no problem getting pregnant. The first time I just got off my bcp, second time was just by random. As long as you get a regular cycle I dont think you would have a problem. My husband is regular weight though.

Happy thanksgiving from the US!

I am happy to announce that I am over my goal of 228 on thanksgiving I weigh 227.2. I weighed 233 when I started and it felt like an eternity to me to get to this weight. I think I started 2 weeks ago. I put in so much effort with the eating and the running. Shows how much hard work I need to put out to lose those 6 lbs...if I ever feel like eating, I will definitely look back on this and remember how much sweat I put out. I do not want to lose, and gain them all back again like I am so used to doing.

 

[Eve]

I was obese with my last two and had no issues getting pregnant. I did have high BP during though.

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Starting again today Wish me luck!!
