    Getting Buff to Get Up the Duff

    Thanks myturn, woke up this morning and had my normal good breakfast, I think cause I am starting to feel good and live losing the weight that one bad meal will put it all back on lol, stupid I know.

    So glad your psych app went well, sounds like it will help you with all this. When do you go again?

    Oh myturn I do wish we were closer to each other to be able to support each other in person. A walk this morning as non mothers would have been lovely.

    I had a cruel trick by a hpt played on me on Friday night and it made me realise that even though I am on this weight loss journey now I still want to fall pregnant naturally. I suddenly thought I might have had a chance, but u should definately never look at one after 10mins or u will get your hopes up for nothing and then feel stupid :-(

    Enough about me, have a wonderful day today ladies with your mums if u get to see them xo

    Did I lose everyone in here again lol
    Still plodding along at the gym, had a panic attack and small hissy fit on Monday when my trainer did a nasty cruel thing to me, I know he didn't mean to upset me but he did. Reckoned I hit the machine stop 1 sec to early and told me to do another 30secs running and my body was already spent, got back on and panicked, stopped composed myself and then told him I wanted to do my 30secs like he told me to. At least he can never say I give up :-)
    How are you ladies going? How is food and gym this week?
    My legs are so sore it's hard to walk and crap I have pt again today, all I can do is laugh!!!

    I had the crappest food week this week!! And barely any workout.... most of my days on my Shape Up app are big red crosses!!....

    having said that... I had quite a plesant week too! work was okay, a few social occasions.... took monday off for a "mental health day" and that was REALLY beneficial.... so things are actually good...

    but I just gorged on a tub of icing... stupid stupid.....

    start again tomorrow.... right....

    can't wait for DH to get back and I can get my act together again....

    definitely not weight loss this week.... actually I put on 1kg....

    seriously, I'm such a yoyo....

    Not the red crosses!!!! I used to hate seeing those. Sorry to hear you are having a bit of a yoyo time of it atm, but on the upside you had an enjoyable week by the sound of it.

    Is DH back yet????

    I felt so flat last week so DH and I had retail therapy and bought new clothes as we have both lost weight. Size 16 jackets and I bought skinny leg jeans that fit like a glove. They look good but will take some getting used to I think.

    My pt is pushing me so hard atm but he has a saying, if it doesn't challenge u it won't change you, so that is my new motto!!!!

    Have a good week ladies :-)

    I so understand your sabotage I did it all the time, I don't know what clicked in my head this time but something did. I think it was wanting to prove to my FS that I could lose what she asked me to and I want to know I have done everything I can when we walk back in to try again. Now I am seeing the results I also want to get down skinny again and feel sexy, even though DH has always said I was I didn't feel it.
    I love the satisfaction of making it through my pt sessions to.
    My theory was while everyone is gaining their baby weight (all my pregnant friends) that I would lose mine... I must say they all say hate that they are gaining while I lose lol. Have to find something good in it all!!!!
    Knowing I have to weigh in every month and explain why I haven't lost enough to my trainer seems to motivate me, I think before I eat now and feel guilty if I shouldn't have it.
    Don't get wrong though I am craving a big bag of chips and chocolate but know I can't have it. One day I will cave but not ready to yet lol
    I hope I can help you with my stories, a friend of mine has been losing a lot of weight over last 12months and she was my motivation to do it.
    So glad DH is back soon, you must miss him. Do you talk to him about your weight loss? Without the support of DH to deal with my tears when I find it all to hard I don't think I would have stuck to it.
    You have my number, ring if you ever want to, but understand if you don't want to as well xo

    Has everyone forgotten about this thread while doing ivf rounds. I feel like a loner lol.
    Well I am still plodding along with the weight loss, starting to feel better about myself again which is good.

    How are you guys going with your weight loss and your cycles?

    Miss having someone to talk to :-(

    I'm still here.... just didn't have anything to add

    DH is home, so I have found the food thing much harder - I was eating quite well when he was away, but have got slack.... tonight I bought some stuff to make the salad I was eating while he was away - so hoping to inspire him to eat a bit differently... (not that he cooks badly, just.... not really as healthy as I'd like...)

    I'm on the pill right now, so worried a bit that my weight will increase, and certainly if I keep up with the dodgey eating it will!!!

    but... did start using the diary again this week - just have to MAKE myself do it....

    you are doing an awesome job - surely it will make all the difference when you do you next cycle!!!

    Sounds like you are doing well Hun, hope the pill doesn't throw things out for you and make your weight loss harder.

    Goodluck trying to convince DH that salad is yummy and enjoyable, mine just knows not to argue cause of how hard I am working lol.

    I see you have been going to the gym to, thats great and you have someone to keep you distracted from the pain whilst you are there which is so good.

    I had a lady ask me today how my trainer is with pt and I told her what he is like and the blood sweat and tears I have but it's worth it. She said she has seen him torturing me and crying and he seems tough, I had to laugh, he is but it's for my own good lol.

    I am restricted with no sitting exercises as my tailbone has moved the wrong way so I am on a butt doughnut for 3 mths when I sit argh he is going to kill me in other ways !!!

    As long as this proves worth it I will keep torturing myself and cross fingers we get a surprise natural bfp along the way.....haha I think I am kidding myself.

    Good to hear what u r up to, keep up the good work :-)

    ha ha

    yeah my trainer is a chatterbox - I go to PT twice a week and have another PT on saturdays in a different location that DH and I do together - it's really helpful.

    I've been going to the same gym for a few years, but I think it's only the last 6 - 12 months where I really started to know what I was supposed to be doing.... lol... I just have never liked sweat... and I still hate it... but I am learning to accept it

    Hi there!

    I'm hoping you ladies won't mind if I join in here.

    I have about 20kgs to lose, but as I am doing a cycle at the moment I will be taking it a little slower. I figure if I at least start with the food I am eating (although I thought it wasn't too bad) & make sure I do daily walks that should at least be a good start.

    How are you ladies going? Myturn I can see by your signature you have done really well.

    Welcome planetsasha, more the merrier :-)

    I have been going to the gym with pt sessions twice a week and have lost nearly 15kgs and list another 5kg before that since jan. I am getting into a good routine now. Almost at 100 so will be so glad when u am double figures. 24kgs till goal weight of 80kg.

    myturn I hate sweat to, it stung me in the eye today and I didn't want to stop my arm curls so I had 10sec on them stinging like crap argh.
    So glad you now know what I should be doing at the gym, you can go everyday and if you do t know the right way to burn it off it's pointless....done that before lol

    Kerbear - you seriously have done so awesomely!!!!

    I need to get my act together and catch up!!!

    planetsasha - welcome in here with us you are more than welcome - I'm taking it slow too.... although I wonder if it's an excuse... my 12kgs has been over the past 18 months, so while it's a good outcome... seriously... it works out to about 100g a week!!

    Well i have been up since 2am with a sick dh, have to go to a work app in an hr so no point in sleeping again. Think the gym might not get seen today :-(

    Thanks ladies, it's funny I look in the mirror and still see fat and think crap what did I look like before I lost this 20kgs, somedays I feel like I am getting no where but get on the scales and it reminds me again what I have lost.

    It's a hard road for all of us that's for sure!!!!

    Well the tears flow yet again :-( why am I doing this and torturing myself everyday. Why can't I be normal and not fat and need to lose weight to try and have a baby arghhh. I know it will benefit me and will change me but I just feel like I have a massive weight on my shoulders around why I have to do it.

    Sorry for my vent. How are guys going?

    Hugs ladies!

    Sorry you are feeling like this.

    It sucks when you have to lose weight anytime, but I think it's worse when you are trying to conceive. I think you have both done a fabulous job so far & should be so proud, so what if you stumble & have a few bad days. At least you are giving it a go & you are inspiration for others such as myself to try as well!

    I hope tomorrow is better for you!

    I walked alot over the weekend & all over the lovely city of Melbourne today my feet are not too happy about it though
