Well I had a shocking weekend as far as eating and drinking goes so back on the wagon now. I need to pick up on my exercise this week as last week was a bit of a wipeout with illness etc. I only weigh myself once a week on Fridays otherwise I tend to get a bit obsessed....
Nurse Dan, how exciting that you are going to TTC soon
I've been tossing up about doing optifast for a few weeks just to get a head start too. But as Nai said, if you are going to start TTC soon, it's probably best to avoid the meal replacements anyway. I know that with Optifast you are not mean't to take it if you think you may fall pregnant.
Nai, I had a shocking weekend too. We had a belated birthday dinner for me and so I ate yummy Thai, had mudcake and I was also given a box of chocolates.
I'm setting myself a 15 week challenge - 15 kilo's in 15 weeks. I can't wait to start TTC (I so loved beiing pregnant) but I've really got to get this weight off!
Dan, out or curiosity, what type of nurse are you?
Charli'smumma - I'm a midwife. Just finished my qualifications, YAY!! Before that I was a surgical nurse which I was doing when I joined BB. Good luck on your 15 week challenge. I know you can do it!!!
Nai - Monday is my weigh in day. I get to disheartened so I'm only allowed to stand on the scales on Monday's. DH is very strict. But Friday is great idea. Weigh in before the weekend and you have a few days to correct it if you have a naughty weekend. I might need to swap weigh in days, LOL!!
Thanks Dan, I hope so!
Sorry to get a little off the weight loss track here, but congrats on being a midwife! That is my ambition! I was at a couple of births when I was 18 & 20 and thought it was amazing but I got sidetracked, and 12 years later the dream has been re-kindled since having had Charli last year and I was a follow-through for a student mid. I got into the Bachelor of Midwifery through ACU but have decide to do the nursing first then do the post-grad in mid. I'm starting nursing part time next semester. Can't wait!
on the 30kg Kylie. That is an absolutely amazing weight loss. Well done!! I've heard about BMI affect your fertility which is why I'm trying to drop a few kilos. Do you know how to work out your BMI?
Charli'smumma - Good luck starting nursing studies next year . It is a great idea to do nursing first so you can learn about the human body before you learn the effects of pg on the body.
Hi guys, just wanted to wish you luck on your weight loss journeys!!!!! Just thought I would share my story... I was a little bit (just a smidge) chubby when fell preggers with DS - and gained about 22 kgs with him - which took me up to 96. After got home from the hospital I was about 89 - and then by the time he was 6 weeks old, was back up to 92. I devised my own diet plan - including menu plan (which included a bit of chocolate every day) and went down to 68.5 in about 5 months.
Of course I'm back up to the late 80's now, but got an excuse - pregnancy weight
So if anyone is interested in having a look at my menu plan, I'd be more than happy to share. Its based on a diet of 1200 cals a day, and I think I exercised for the first three weeks, and the weight kept dropping off!!!!! (I'm not one that loses weight easily either). As soon as this bub is out, I'll be going back onto the diet because its really easy to follow.
Sorry to crash your thread - but just wanted to share my story, and if I can help at all, just let me know!!!
Good luck to all of you!!!!
