Hi myturn,
I'm afraid my diet and exercise are out the window for a while. I got a BFP last week but have been spotting ever since. Eeeeeek! I'm so anxious, i'm devouring chocolate!
Congrats on being PUPO and on nearly having a kitchen :) Maybe just light exercise at the gym if you feel up to it? I really hope this is your cycle, I will be stalking :hug:
N2L - I hope the weight loss is going well and that everything you've been through is worth it in the end :crossfingers::crossfingers:
Woo hoo mich :) good luck xxx
Well I have had a bad week since going camping and. Being pupo so next week I'm going. To get up and go for lazy walks in the morning and eat healthy :) if AF does arrive I'm not sure if I'll do the other FET or have a rest and lose weight - either way needs to eat better - hopefully DH will have kitchen ready to cook in soon!!
Hi ladies thought I would pop back in here.
Started at the gym this week with personal trainer as I need to try and get at least 20kgs off before next ivf in July.
I have been extremely good with my food but don't feel much change, wondering if DHEA has any impact on weight as I know diaformin won't as it should help it. Feeling a bit frustrated cause change in food normally does it and it hasn't made much difference in the last couple of weeks.
... Keep trying! Thats all you can do!!!
I use the app shape up club to track my food intake - DH reckons we have to start being anal... But I think he really means me..!
Haha that's funny!!!!
I use the shape up club app it's great.
Well torture of PT done today. It was not easy but it showed me just how far my body can be pushed. I broke down and cried half way through that made me feel crap but reminded myself I can't fail. I did it and trainer was really happy with me and how much I did. Been eating really well. Not allowed to weigh myself until trainer does it. Gym again tomorrow!!!
How are you ladies going?
Is anyone still on this thread????
it appears my subscription to this thread disappeared....!!!! sorry Kerbear! I am in here for sure now..... is anyone else joining us???
I feel like crap :( another failed FET and it means I HAVE to get stuck into the weightloss thing.....
I'm scared and worried I can't do it.....
finally bit the bullet and emailed to get some counselling - but feel like a failure for needing it.... yeah I know it's irrational - I know it's good I am.... but I hate it. I don't want to need someone else to motivate me. I just want to crawl up into a ball and hide away from the world.
Just went to the gym and expended 377calories all by myself :)
Very proud for getting there. Let's hope I can keep it up.
was so proud of the 'healthy dinner' I made... until I realised it was 940 calories..... after I'd eaten it...
it was the avocado's fault! (okay... and the fetta... that was supposed to be my treat!!!) I really didn't think it would be that much! Shows you how careful you do have to be...
anyway.... weekly update.... (it appears to myself... but maybe someone will join me soon... so I will do it anyway ;)
30/4/12 = 110kg :(
6/5/12 = 108.4 :)
= 1.6kg loss this week :) Lets hope tonights dinner doesn't spoil it.... and yes... I did exercise today... hmmm... maybe I'll get the yoga DVD out or something....
keeping busy and occupied while DH is away this month is going to be hard!!!
proud of myself today... managed to keep under my calorie limit without going to the gym (worked late and had things to do at home... which is why I've been on BB most of the night :doh:) and weighed my food before eating....
it's been a good week... considering how crappy I felt last week about everything.
I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself every day.... but..... another 0.2 lost since monday ;)
I haven't been this weight since at least 2006 sometime .... so back to where i started and hopefully I will keep going on the down path for a change....
Hi lovely I didn't see anyone had joined me yay you are in here with me... I am not alone!!!!
I am very proud to say I weigh the same as you today which is good for me cause when I got married I was 124.6 kgs. When I started at the gym I was 119.6 and my 2 mth weigh in I'd Friday.
So I am on track for the 20kg minimum off by July when I go back to FS. I have to say that having my personal trainer and the nutritionist has helped and I am very diligent this time and focused.
I was at the hospital with DH last Friday and ate lasagne and straight after I felt I needed to go to the gym which is a miracle I felt like that, it means I am changing woohoo.
So proud of your efforts myturn, I am here to help and support u any way I can.
With DH needing a huge surgery in a few mths ivf is being put off till end of the year so I now determined to hit my goal weight of 80kgs by then, which excites me cause I have more chance if a sexy baby belly which I would love and I know he can't wait till I have one to.
I little pain for a long term gain is worth it in my eyes.
Good luck and keep me updated how u r going!!!! :-)
woo hoo! for great loss! I am so proud of you!
I have been eating pretty well the last two weeks since the failed FET - and hate the fact that I have teo keep typing it in, but I know I have to keep the food diary - it's just the only way for me to track how many calories I am eating and the exercise - feeling quite hungry at the moment and trying to decide what to eat that will fill me, without blowing it out!!!
thinking maybe a pita wrap, with a bit of tzatiki in it.....hmmmm.... yum......
PT tomorrow night and a friend over for dinner helps me keep on track - and I am going to try to lose another 2 - 4 kg's while DH is away to get me on track and in a routine for eating.... pretty hard when he is here though, cause he does most of the cooking during the week... I think he will be helpful and cook well - he just understands things differently...
I hope your DH is okay Ker - was thinking about him the other day when I saw FB post....
As promised myturn, here I am. I jumped on the scales this morning and was relieved that I have not put on any weight this cycle. Same exactly as last month, which is a bugger as I thought I was eating sooooo much better. I guess at least I have not put more on, which I tend to do each cycle. I have to start exercising more consistantly not just willy nilly.
DH will be home permanentley from Friday night, which could be my down fall. I actually eat better when he is away. He is a skinny minny and can eat whatever/whenever whilst I walk past the fridge and I put on kilos :(
Hi Vic nice to have more of us in here to all help each other, I was going to write nice to see you here but that was not the right sentence for this one lol as we all hate having to be here.
Vic it sucks when your DH doesn't need to lose it and can eat whatever but I hope that he helps and supports with food and cooking with what you need to have, I find it is so helpful when they do the journey with you :-). My DH always tells me how proud he is of me and how good I am doing and it means the world to me.
Myturn you sound like you are doing good, keep up the good work. DH is still not good, 2 hospital trips and still not feeling better, I feel so sorry for him being in pain all the time.
Well all I can say about today is my abs are so frickin sore from my pt session yesterday and I have my weigh in tomorrow and another pt session.
Had a day today where I just wanted to cry about everything and didn't want to go to the gym, but I did and I am glad cause it helped me feel better. I am do focused on my goal, it's only taken 2.5yrs but hey I am here now and going to get to 80kgs before Christmas and be looking slim and sexy woohoo bring it.
Well night ladies and I hope we all get to our goals soon enough xo
yay.... two of my favourite ladies in here together ;)
according to the scales this morning I have lost 2.5kgs since monday last week!! Not sure it's possible... and I know they say don't weigh yourself too often, but I find it actually helps me, as it reminds me of my goal and when I am weighing myself regularly it means I'm thinking healthy food as well.
A bit of a blow out today - friend over for dinner, and I had to do it in a rush as I got home not long before she arrived and got kebab meat and salad (but the salad was caesar, so dressing...) anyway, it's just one day, and as long as I record it I should be okay...
I am going to the psych tomorrow afternoon and am a bit nervous.... I feel so much better than last week - but I know I need to have, at least, a few sessions to explore why I sabotage myself - as although I'm going well at the moment, I am not sure it will last, and need to figure out why I keep going back, so that I can make some conscious decisions about what I am going to do.
anyway, glad to see you in here Vic - even though you are doing a Stim this month!
I think my weight loss plateaued last year, and started creeping back up, because of the wedding and honeymoon, and then because of the stim cycles - I reckon I put on weight during them.... Being on the Pill for Down reg as well - I need to make sure I am being more careful....
Myturn it is so good that you are going to someone to find out why you sabotage yourself, if I didn't stick to it this time I make it work I was going to be doing exactly the same thing.
I have found if you have something you know you shouldn't, you accept it and move forward and back into good food, maybe do a really hard work out to make up for it. That has helped me keep losing.
I am an addicted scales person, my pt hates it but it helps me monitor myself really well, so my thoroughly is if it doesn't do your head in then there is nothing wrong with it :-)
Why do you not think your weight loss is possible from last Monday? I think that's great and it is possible!!!!
Luv ya have a good focused weekend xo
Feeling very guilty, If the treadmill was somewhere I could get it out from I would be in it. Went to dinner with a friend and had some Chinese and I feel disgusting!!!! Argh why did I do it, oh well on the upside I won't be doing that again in a hurry. I didn't eat very much but as soon as I started eating it my tummy felt bloated.
Hope you are both having a good weekend xo
I had chinese tonight too!!! I actually enjoyed it, and it fit nicely into my calorie count tonight..... it was the packet of Pods at the movies that's put me 550 calories over :doh:
At least you didn't eat much.... I feel bloated now.... but REALLY enjoyed it when I was eating it....
start again tomorrow with me ker??? ;)
You are doing an awesome job..... one blow out helps remind you why you are doing it!!
another upside of this week... I went to the psych on friday.... and she was lovely, and I think it will be helpful. I cried and cried afterwards.... but..... it was a relief... I think it was a relief to know that, it's okay that I am struggling (although I knew it... it was kinda nice to be reassured by a professional.... :lol:)
Maybe seriously I wish you two were not so far away!!! Would love to book in a sunday morning mothers day walk.... for us 'non' mothers...
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 :-)
woo hoo for shopping :)
DH gets back on Saturday - look forward to getting back into the proper routine. had a crap day again today.... well... afternoon evening really... bought crap in between visits to people.... seriously I've been doing so well, I need to figure out why I sabotage myself.... back to psych on friday, maybe she can help illuminate me
So impressed with all your hard work - I know it will pay off! You have done an awesome job!!
xxx
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
That's great kerbear well done! I was going to a great gym before Christmas but I moved earlier this year & haven't found a replacement yet. Tbh I haven't had the time to look yet though, but I will:)
Kerbear - you seriously have done so awesomely!!!!
I need to get my act together and catch up!!! ;)
:hello: 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!! :rofl:
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?
oh, I've been having the crappest day as well :(
took the day off work and spent most of the morning in tears... bleugh...
feeling better now, but seriously.... it's just crap... crap.... crap....
nothing else can be said....
big :hug: baby..... it WILL be all worth it...
now if I can just get my act together, and stop eating crap....
.......:hide: the fish and chips I had for lunch......
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;)
Helllloooo ladies, been slack in here lately.
I am so close to the double digits just need to focus and get there. Had some teary times lately about it all. Financially everything is not going right and DH is sick still and waiting for next op. I just wish I could pluck money from somewhere and do another cycle now and it's upsetting me so much.
My trainer is on holidays for next 2weeks so self torture is all I have lol.
How are you guys doing?
I am so slack but i need to be in here more than ever!
I think we are only going to do one more stim cycle (with my new FS and new protocol). It will be in four months or so. I desperately, desperately want to lose at least 10kilos (but preferably 15).
Why cant I do this? Why cant I get in the right headspace??????
arrggghhhhh!!!!!!
