Diet & Weight loss support #4

[luna moth]

Hi girls,

So, um, looks like we're taking a break from ttc after a loss. Our dear cherished has dragged me in here - lol - (and didn't I kick and scream!) because fitness really makes me feel good, and I think it will be a healthy focus in the mean time.
So, here's a quick history (OK, not quick, I'm so chatty at the mo):
I have always been a chunky kid. Home didn't teach me great eating habits, and then just ballooned a little bit more when I got to the end of high school. When I returned from living in Europe, I weighed in at 90kg (I think, didn't have regular access to scales) Over the four years following, I have managed to lose 20kg following a bit of a two steps forward one step back pattern (only 5kg off, 3 kg on type thing)
I had a goal weight of 69kg, and reached that the same day I got my BFP in May. I was shocked to find that I puton 5kg by 10 wks, and was really worried about how I would go. However now, after the D & C, I'm back to 71kg, so most of it was big angry placenta, which is something of a relief.

Other history: I have followed MG's blog all the way through, and you girls are lucky to have her on your journey, she's a very strong woman who's doing a great job. I love your work MG!

So I don't have a goal weight as such, as I am not officially overweight - the great thing to come out of my scan was that my BMI is 24.9 - yay!!!
But I do want to really focus on fitness and being well for the next year. So here I am.

Congratulations if you got through that Cherished will tell you that I have motor fingers, and I won't get offended if you tell me to pipe down and stop hogging your thread

I have a hospy appt today and I'm going to check witht hem if it's OK to do the 50km Brissie to the Bay cycle nexy weekend

krysalyss how are you going, is the 12 week challenge up yet? I saw on your ticker that you have lost 8kg Wooohooo that is fantastic!

Peanutter my sweet girl where are you? Come and say hello in here

snugglybean we are the same weight! (well I am 71.5kg) this morning and desire to get back to 57

Well my calorie counting is going really well,I find that when I make sure I get plenty of protein (from whey powder etc not meat) my blood sugar doesn't spike and I can get through the day very comfortable without being really hungry... The other day though I had a fresh juice for afternoon tea and I was starving by dinner!!!! No more juices for me.

I've got a bit of house work to do and then a workout oh and the dentist (which strangely I don't mind!)

It's OK - the world needs more people who think like me

So I walked up to the hospy today, just to pick up a letter, and get the thumbs up for 50km ride (which I did - yay!) and then DH and I decided to keep going - so we ended up walking into the city, doing a bit of shopping, had sushi for lunch, then walked home via the supermarket. Probably about 7-8km, and done at an ambling pace, but that's about as much as I'm up for right now, and I am good and proper knackered so will sleep well tonight!

YAY Not as bad as I thought! a loss of 300g... I thought it was going to stop on 71.3 but turned to 71.4 right at the last second (I hate it when it does that!) I'm really going to do my workouts this week and get well into the 70's next Monday I'm so proud of myself for sticking at my diary for 3 weeks and I don't see an end in sight, just so happy today... AND I think today will see the end of AF and the whole mc drama and I will be back ttc in a couple of weeks with a strong ovuataion (hopefully) Ahhh all is well
