Hi ladies,
Could i join in also - we have been ttc for 6 months and this month i was so confident about it until af showed her ugly face yesterday.
It really put me down, we are recently married and really want to start our family.

I have put on some weight since coming off birth control and weigh 182lbs - so i have decided to try loose some weight to help with the ttc.

I am also new to the site and it would be great to be in touch with ladies who are in the same position as me x

welcome xx

Yay more people!!! Welcome! It's very exciting to hear from everyone! Tomorrow we are going ice skating for my birthday, its become sort of a tradition now, i love it. Hoping to burn, burn, burn lots of calories! Also, we just bought a XBOX 360 Kinect, I'm so excited to start using it. We have the wii, but I love that I don't have to hold a controller! just dance 3 and a workout training game to start, can think of the exact name of the second at the moment..lol. anyways, continue trying to eat healthy and exercise so we can all get our bfp's!!!

Hahaha! For dinner we usually have Baked or grilled chicken and veggies, brussel sprouts, broccoli, artichokes, squash, etc. We have been eating like this for almost a year now. My hubby and daughter eat seafood instead of chicken sometimes. I wish I liked fish and stuff, but I don't have the taste buds for that stuff. But so glad they do. Try to keep breads out of the picture. lol

I love ready your workout posts Leikela, it keeps me motivated! I hope you have an awesome workout tomorrow. Ya, don't feel guilty, you have a very healthy active lifestyle!

how do you cook artichokes?

I have tried several ways, but I just keep going back to the basic way. I rinse and clean the artichokes, cut off the last inch of the stem. I snip the points off. I boil a pot of water. Then pour in a few tsp of lemon juice to keep their color.Boil for about 20 mins or so and they are done. (Or when the stem is soft when you stick it with a fork or knife). The heart is mine and my daughters favorite part. Don't eat the tiny glob inside the heart, so scoop it out and toss. My husband dips his pieces is mayonnaise, garlic and butter or just salt. I just like a little salt on mine. Anyway that is just the very basic way of cooking them. There are many ways, but my fingers are getting tired from typing from my phone. Lol

Awesome Bridin! Keep up the great work!

I exercise an average of 7 hours a week. My downfall is my eating! I love sugar and sugar loves my hips! I have started trying to cut back on sweets. Small steps!

Hey Leikela,

Hi Ladies,

I have lost 2 lbs this week

As well as watching what i eat, i have also invested in Wii Zumba 2, just done my 1st work out and WOAH. If i keep that up once a day i will; def lose at least another 2 this week!

*whimpers* my legs hurt *whimper*

 

[mandy_grovie1]

Although I'm not over-weight I'm planning to get in shape and lose about 10lbs for the summer! I plan on eating good amounts of protein and low-calorie, yet high-nutrient foods and keeping my diet nice and balanced! I've also joined the gym and decided to go about 4 times a week! Good luck girls xxx

 

[Leikela]

Mazzy,

Congrats on the 2 pounds gone!!

 

[Miss Broody]

Hi Everyone!! Good luck on the weight loss.

Not sure what my body/scales are doing, as i was 4.5 pounds down a couple of days ago and then shot back up one by my weigh in this morning (even though i did nothing wrong).

Anyway i lost 3.5 pounds this week in the end, which is bad for a first week loss, but still would be incredible in a normal week, so shouldnt moan! Plus normally when i start a diet i exercise too, and this week i have done none at all.

Onto week 2! Good luck this week everyone!

xx

 

[tigerlilly]

how are you doing ladies? i still have virus so no exercise for me just yet!

 

[Leikela]

Miss Broody, that is precisely why my scale and I broke up awhile ago. Lol It can become obsessive. The body is mostly water and we fluctuate between a pound or two on a daily basis. And if you happen to eat salty food one day, you will retain water and the scale will move up a few pounds.

Scale and me have started mending fences so I got on this morning. Not so bad. I vow to only visit scale every two weeks.

Awesome! Now that the scale and I are patching things up, I will be able to report pounds lost. I am only going to try and weight myself every 2 weeks though.

 

[mrsevewat1]

I'm also only weighing myself once a week. I slipped a little (thanks to hubby for taking me to dinner late, lol) n gained a few lbs back but i also just started going to the gym the other night (thanks again to hubby because he came with me) so I'm hoping even more will come off. Gl ladies! Keep up the good work!
