And Warby, I feel you on the boobs. They were one of the first things to go for me.

I didn't have much to begin with so dread to think what they will be like once I've got to target

 

[R_x]

I'm still here ladies just haven't posted for a while.
Going to weigh myself this weekend and get 100% focused again.

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

I was a 34DD, then a 36C during pregnancy, and back down to a 34B now. Preeeeeetty sure they're on their way to being a 34A. Thank goodness for push-up bras!

On the plus side, they aren't saggy and all over the place. I think I prefer small and firm!

 

[Warby]

Ha, good points about the boobs! Yes, I guess i won't have saggy-past-my-belly-button breasts when I am an old lady.

I have been keeping on. Not following the diet all the time, but generally being pretty good. Haven't weighed myself in a while.

But! It finally happened! Someone (a colleague) noticed that I have lost some weight. Made me feel terrific!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Woohoo!! I think I read somewhere that it can take 12 weeks before other people notice, so that sounds about right! Well done! Did you get a cookie yet?

I've got the 5k this evening, so hoping to get caught up on steps today. I've been such a slacker with the exercise! At least I haven't been eating as much, although still a lot of frozen/boxed stuff because I've been feeling lazy.

Weight: 123.6 (no idea how I pulled this off)

Hey ladies- Good job to all the weightloss going on in here!

I have been following my diet again and have had some pretty good success. I have decided to focus on just weighing myself once a month. I seem to do better with the big losses rather than all the up and down.

For progress I have started tracking my blood sugar since that is my #1 concern before we start ttc. So far it has worked way better than weight loss. The nice thing is the two kinda go hand in hand so as I eat lower carb I get better control and lose weight.

Thankfully my cup size tends to stay the same when I lose weight. Probably a good thing since I am only a B. I really do need to lose some around, then most of my dresses will fit comfortably again.

I have 5.5 weeks left of work before summer break so I am hoping to really focus on the house (I don't know if I shared but we closed on our first home a month ago) and exercising. I have an eight week break so I would like to get a lot accomplished in that time.

 

[Warby]

Hi there!

I don't know what happened last week. I was SO HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!!!! I am not pregnant. But I was starving. I ate a lot and it wasn't always healthy.

Weird. But I am putting it behind me. Clearly I needed it for some reason. Back on track now!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

krissie328 - good job with your success! Sounds like your plan is working out; hopefully you'll have even more success over your break!

Warby - I've been starving these last few days, and I'm not pregnant either! I'm going to blame Spring.

Oh wow! 1.8 pounds until your ultimate goal. Holy smokes I am so impressed with you.

Jillian Micheals does kick ass.

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Thank you, Warby!!

How is everyone doing? I can't believe it's already mid-May!

I maintained this week, but I wasn't expecting a loss between period hormones and the Nutella jar I attacked the other day.

[Warby]

Sorry I've beenmissing so long, I have been in the hormone hell. first the good news: I finally weaned my son! He is 28 months and was showing no signs of stopping on his own, so I finally just cut him off. This was two weeks ago.

But ever since, my hormones have been wreaking havoc on my body. Here's what I am dealing with:
Insomnia (have not slept through the night since I weaned)
Bad constipation
Bad skin
Body hair growing back faster
Zero sex drive
A lot of water retention
Very intense cravings
And I have gained seven (yes seven)pounds in the last two weeks

Jeepers. This is not fun. I hope things regulate soon! I'm already 40 years old, and Lord knows what other hormonal things were going on before I weaned.

 

[krissie328]

Sorry you are going through so muxh Warby. I hope it sorts itself out soon.

Afm, I lost 3 lbs in the month if May. Not as much as I would have liked but a lot better than nothing. I have 49 lbs to go before we start ttc next May/June. Which is roughly 4 lbs a month. Which is very doable I think.

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

I've been such a slacker on this thread lately, sorry guys!

I hope the hormones have settled down now, Warby! It's amazing how much they can affect you, right? Congrats on the weaning, and for making it that long! Sorry about the gain, hopefully it was just temporary and went back down!

krissie - congrats on the loss and for working on #2! Very exciting! Are you hoping to catch quickly, or lose a few more lbs before then?


Somehow I'm at goal now, even with all of the food and lack of exercise from enjoying DD's 2nd birthday and my sister's out of state wedding. New goal is to maintain between 115-120 until we conceive #2!

Congrats Kitteh for reaching your goal!

I am hoping to lose a bit more. But I was having a terrible time with birth control and barrier methods are just to inconvenient. so we decided to ntnp until September and then actively start ttc.

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Thank you!

Good luck!! It's kind of crazy how September is right around the corner, but hopefully you'll get those pounds knocked out! We're also aiming for September at this point, so maybe we can be POAS buddies

 

[Warby]

Back. Hormones seem to have straightened out. I am starting again...again.

Good luck. Glad you are all sorted.

I forgot to weigh this month so plan to go with my August weight.
