Hi everyone -

Vesta - so sorry for your loss sweetheart xx

AQ - you go girl, get in that zone!! I have 9 days to go now - and still 2kg to lose - but i WILL do it.

Have had a really bad cold this week, which hasnt helped matters as no exercise

My consultant rang me yesterday though, and shes ordered my final minute U/S and blood tests just to make sure i havent caught HIV in last 6 months (if i have hubby has a lot to answer to!!) Which means its all def underway - as to whether i still have to wait for aprils cycle who knows - but to be honest, as long as ive got things like blood tests etc to be getting on with thats ok with me. I need a focus nowadays

Massive massive fingers, toes, arms and everything else crossed for IVF success this year everyone - everyone is doing so well!!

 

[longtobeamum]

Ooo Monsterpops how exciting!! You must be so thrilled that it's all getting started

Haha don't worry about it AQ.

My plan today:

B: poached eggs on 1 slice toast (1/2 HEB)
L: Huge bowl of syn free butternut squash and pepper soup with 1 piece of bread (Other 1/2 of HEB)
T: 2 sweet chilli salmon fillets with sweet potato mash/jacket and rocket salad with red onion. (Maybe a bit of cheese with it for my HEA.)

Good luck on your diets today girlies

Ooh not long now monsterpops! is this when u are having your info evening or 1st cons appt?
Our referral was sent on the 1st so will be a while before we hear from them i think but glad ball is rolling!

Been good all day and going to make my tea now xxx

hi ladies. AF showed up overnight, which was a day earlier than expected (not that I was tracking my ovulation this month), which also means it's the start of my mini-IVF cycle. Not too sure how that's going to effect my weight loss - as I need to be eating lots of protein and goodies that heklp with my eggs. I think I'll stick with the shakes for brekkie and lunch, but have more milk and a bigger protein portion for my dinner, I'll still keep away from the carbs. Also not sure what the drugs might do to me - my previous 2 cycles I put on about 3 kg each time (I'm back to my first cycle starting weight), but I'm on much lower doses this time, so we'll see.

Hope you are all having guilt-free fodd weekends!

 

[Monsterpops]

Hey - my consultant has sent the referral, and im seeing her on 14th to go through process etc - will hopefully get some kind of schedule then - I'm rather apprehensive - but believe it or not my acupuncturist has managed to make me ovulate day 14 (rather than 17-18) so i can concentrate on bd'ing and tww til then!! Which also means super healthy lol!! You never know right!! I have the sperm, the egg, the timing, god knows how many drugs - now all that egg has to do is get fertilised and wind its way down my rickety crappy tube......

I'm gonna carry on losing weight as much as i can anyway, a BMI of 25 would be rather brilliant - i plan on only getting fatter with baby - but pretty sure i'll be on target next week - provided i don't touch food lol!!

Can't believe things are finally moving hey AQ! It feels a bit weird doesnt it!! x

 

[Monsterpops]

Leilani - How exciting!!! good luck honey!! ive got everything crossed for you!!

 

[africaqueen]

Leilani- Fab news! wishing u tons of luck with this cycle x

Monsterpops- Yep it deffo feels weird to get the ball rolling. Feels like my life has been passing me by since last July when we lost the 2nd bubs and tube... be good to have hope again and please god a pregnancy in my womb at last

Well i have been good today. Fancied something sweet earlier so made some weight watchers packet mix lemon drizzle mini muffins (very tiny,lol) and had 2 of those at 2.5 syns each and a mint choc options 2 syns. My sweet tooth is satisfied now

Going to plan tomorrows menu shortly. Going to hammer the Wii fit tomorrow too.

Yipee thank you!!

I start tomorrow, so Monday will be weigh in day. I'm a serial weigher though but will try not to weigh everyday.

I'm doing Slimming World but just using the books at home.

We qualify for our one NHS go at IVF August 2012 and I need to get my BMI to 30. I need to lose 4 stone, eek!, is it even possible??.

Does anyone else have PCOS and are doing SW?. I have done it before and to be honest didn't have great losses but I cannot stick to other diets as I get sooooo hungry.

Thanks!

Good luck for tomorrow!

How have you found the losses?, how long have you been doing SW?. I'm hoping it's realistic to lose 4 stone by next August with PCOS, of course I would love to lose it alot sooner though!.

I'm going to do mainly green days.

I'm doin the extra easy plan. OH is doing it too, and he has lost a stone. According to my plan on SW website, I will have lost the weight by end of may. If I stick to it! hehe. I think August is a pretty good target!
