Weight Loss for IVF

Im so happy im down 5kg! I weighed myself last night and even had to reweigh myself this morning just to check I have been working so hard for it but my mini goal is to lose another kg by the end of march

Hey Tichler and Waiting

Congrats on your weight loss, be proud of yourselves, I am$.   I like the change to your ticker Tisch - it gives you a boost seeing what you have lost. We similar in out start weight and goal, around 18kg in total. I

I feel a bit like a rock in a hard place at the moment, trying to rest, trying not to eat emotinally, trying to eat the right foods, feeling guilty when I don't not for me but for potential baby. STARVING after a good sized meal.   I am hooked on V8 as a drink because I was a huge caffiene drinker prior to IVF starting. But its got way too much salt, but I like it. I sure V* would be okay if I execising as I usually do - oosing salt.

Not sure what exercise options are post transfer. I would think that you coud do your same routine but what do you gals think? We rest today and then maybe look at doing kick class Wednesday. We also talk to FS and report back.

1 more hour to WAIT.

@ _Waiting_: how have you managed to loose 5kg, if you don't mind me asking? I thought I'd done really well with losing 3kg but can't seem to get any further, and I also seem to be slipping back into bad habits like the occasional chocolate "pick me up" which I know isn't good.

I'm also back on the cans of V which I know is terrible, and I'm trying to cut back but that's also super hard as I'm so used to the energy boost. I switched to sugar-free which def helps, but it's still laced with caffeine and other bad chemicals (speaking of which did you all see the recent news article about fructose being bad for pregnancy?? This includes apples and fruit juice!).

Nice to see you RosieFarmer - good work on the bike riding!

Try not to worry about DS - is he in Dunners for study? I know what it's like (hehehe) he should be fine if that's the case. Hang in there!

Thanks Tischler - its just so hard not to worry. , I had a good nights sleep lastnight, probably cause I was so tired. But not feeling as tired to day. Off to top 2 more paddocks today, not getting any time to ride my bike at the moment, farm work comes 1st at the mo. Poor DH busy with builder - so someone (ME) had to do the real farm work.

Hello ladies, I've been lurking but not posting much as have had MIL staying and watching my every move!

Well done to all you ladies with losses recently, keep up the good work!

I've managed small losses over the last couple of weeks, but has really buttoned off now which is a bit frustrating, still eating really well and excerising when I can.

Doesn't help DP is trying to put on weight as he lost a lot a wee while ago with a bad case of cold sores in the mouth and couldn't eat for over a week!

Oh well, a loss is a loss, even if not as much as would like to see.

Hear you on the bust loss Tischler, thats the one place I was hoping not to loose from and its the first to go, not fair!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Also good thing on the WW Propoints is that most of fruit and vegies are no points.

Glad you had a good day with your DS RosieFarmer - must be good to know he's okay

Well done on the weight loss (and you too Trouble) - I think sometimes it's nice when things get in the way of checking (like flat batteries!). I'm a terrible cheat midway through the week which doesn't help me at all!

Have a good week!

Sorry guys, have been AWOL from here on the whole. Since the earthquake I've been either eating bad food or hardly anything!!

This week I have had to fall back on caffeine to get me through (taking 1.5-2 hours drive each way to work), but since it's been hot I've resorted to "V". Ahhhhhhhh

Didn't get to weigh myself last week so will see what this Friday brings. Only just got back to the gym today from last Monday .....

However, I have to say that I am soooo lucky. I was at work in ChCh but my desk held up for me and all my friends and family are okay. The long drive is nothing in the grander scheme of things, just feel so blessed and my thoughts are with everyone who has suffered and lost loved ones or homes.

How's everyone else going??

Hi all, just touching base. Weighed in before .... lost 900g in the last 2 weeks, so very pleased considering all the cr*p I've been consuming, or lack of good food, or lack of gym.

Going to have a lovely weekend with just DH and me (step-kids with their Mum) so hoping for some nice relaxation.

Will get better on track next week.

Hope the rest of your weigh-in's go well
