Anyone want to be my weightloss buddy I could us a few!

My weight has been an issue since I had the Implanon put in when DH and I started going out. Hadn't been on any contraceptives for a while and I'm really bad at remembering to take the Pill so thought it was the way to go for me. Well, 10 months later I had it out because we decided to start TTC and in that time I'd put on 10kgs! I think the hormones in the implant stuffed me around BIG time as I haven't been able to lose those 10kgs and now, with IVF I've put on another 10kgs. My mum came with me for the first egg pickup and when the anaesthetist asked how much I weighed (to give me the right dose of anaesthetic) and I told him 95kg, mum said "I've never weighed that much in my life, not even when I was PREGNANT!" Needless to say, that went down like a lead balloon! I've been a bit worried about the weight for a while, but now that we're taking an IVF break, it's time to do something about it. I'm going with the extra exercise and highprotein/low carbs diet. It's worked previously for me, but I just love my carbs so don't stick to it! Plus DH is half Italian, so there's LOTS of pasta-ry goodness in our house

I had kicked the cigarettes for the whole IVF thing, but we had disappointing results this round after everything was looking so positive, so we caved It's my fallback stress relief, so I think I'm going to take up exercising instead, it's better for me!

Anyway, I think a blog would be good, they're easy to set up, right? I'll go do that now before I forget!

Have a great long weekend everyone! I'm going to visit my mum in Ballarat, another reason I can't kick the ciggies until Monday, she smokes like a chimney!

Hey girls, I will be your cheerleader! If you all start up BB blogs, Mother Goose style, I can come in and keep you all going! My background is that I have lost 20kg, it took me ages, but I did it. I got my goal weight and BFP ont he same day - so I was my goal weight for about 1 week!!! Have only gained 1kg since then though.

Get blogging, and I will keep you motivated and give you heaps of tips!

i didn't have a weight problem until i was 7 months pregnant with xavier, up until then, i weighed 61kg, then all of a sudden, i put on [B]22kg [B] in 12 weeks, and i hven't been able to shift it. then i fell pregnant with matilda and put on 9 kg, which i lost, so i'm now at the amount i weighed when i was 9 months pregnant with xavi. disgusting.

am going to go set up my blog, my df will be very happy i've got some helpers to help me kick the ciggies. his dad was a very heavy smoker and died of cancer, so it angers him when i light up.

see you on the other (skinnny) side ladies!!!

If you all start up BB blogs, Mother Goose style, I can come in and keep you all going!

my blog is still stuck on the "I quit" entry not a great example right now!

Good luck girls. I'll help you out where I can. Feel free to check out my blog (link in my sig)... don't be frightened by what you read. The journey of weightloss is a long and challenging one - there are no quick fixes. But, to offer two of the many quotes I refer to, success is a journey - not a destination and You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must chose your place.

I will be back to blog again once I have refocused; so I guess I have unquit... just remember there are always going to be ups and downs in your journey - you need to give yourself the tools to be able to take the lows with the highs, if you can't accept losing, you can't win.

Good Luck.
