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.
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?
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.
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 ) 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!!!! :-)
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
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.... )
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...
