My husband and I have been ttc for 4 years, I have PCOS and was quite overweight (5'8 and nearly 18 stone). We were told by the fertility clinic that they would help us but I had to get my bmi to under 35 for Chlomid and then under 30 for ICSI. My next fertility appointment is in 2 weeks and...

Hi Guys I am currently doing red days and have lost nearly two stone in a couple of months. I am getting a bit bored, as well as poor, from doing red days now though and was thinking of trying green days for a bit. This really worries me though! I need to save some money for a bit and can't...

Morning girlies, hope you are all ok today. Water challange sounds good to me, I think maybe I am not drinking enough, I have been drinking 2 1/2 litres a day but everyone else seems to drink about 4! I am gona try for 3 today and gradually build up to 4! x

Thankyou Kimmi :) Ok I have clamed down a bit now, as you say it is 6lb closer to my dream, TOTM has deff just turned up for the first time in months too so I am going to put it down to that, I picked up a cake earlier and put it back lol, thats got to be an achievement! Heres to day 8 xx

Thanks Jay, I will have to find SacredSilence, I promise to cheer up tomorrow! On the plus side, just had my first bar, the chocolate one, was horrible but tasted like real food lol x

Aww thanks, sorry I have been a bit down all day today and was really excited for a big loss, so when it was only 6lb I was a bit depressed about it as my hubby lost the same on WW this week, just need to tell myself his will slow down I guess x

So day 7 and I have just had my weigh in with my CDC, lost 6lb. I am actually really upset as have read all the posts from people who loose 10lb upwards the first week, my CDC told me that she would expect me to lose 2lb a week base don my first loss, which upset me even more as my hubby lost as...

Just come from being weighed and I have lost 6lb, not very happy about that for a week of being 100% but hey ho, think TOTM is coming and as I haven't had one for months I guess it was bound to mess it up, just wish it wasn't this week so I had a bigger loss to spur me on :cry::sigh:

Welcome to the team kelly :) I do not get weighed with CDC until 6 tonight so will let you know then what I have lost but well done to everyone who has done it already, you have all had great losses! I am not sure how much I am going to loose as think time of the month on its way, I have...

Aww, thanks :) Ketosis is great, anything that stops we wanting to eat naughty food is great!! I didn't find it that difficult making the cupcakes actually as even if I wasn't doing CD I still couldn't have eaten them as they were for someone! (I probably would have made double but lets not...

Hi sas101 - I havent done it personally as haven't got that far yet but a good friend of mine lost 5 stone on CD SS and went straight from there to WW without doing the steps, she put on 5lb in the first week but lost 6lb the week after and has since lost another stone and is now maintaining...

Well done on your loss, thats fab :) Very well done on your prep week too, not many people manage to do that!! xx

Day 6, woohhooooo :) I am now in ketosis and as everyone has said it would, my hunger has gone away and I feel so good and so happy that I have made it through the 5 hardest days of my life!! I even ,managed to make 12 cupcakes today without even being tempted to lick my fingers or anything...

yay to us, I am deff in Ketosis now too, not hungry at all and my litle stick is showing one away from the top on the colour chart :) I am very proud of us! Can't wait to get weighed tomorrow evening, If we have made it through a week we can make it through the next xx Found the dress I want...

Aww congrats on finding your wedding dress, I remember when I found mine, makes it all suddenly seem real! Xx

Sorry to hear you are struggling, hang in there and you will get through it. I was on day 4 yesterday and had the worst day of my life, I was soo hungry and all I could think about was food, I also felt really sick all day, but I managed to get through it and today I feel loads better, try and...

Day 5 - Feeling much better today, just been and had a wash cut and blow dry for the first time in about a year and couldnt help but think while I was starring in the mirror that in 10 weeks time when I come again I will be a coulple of stone light, which felt really good! I really really...

Well done emmey and rachele, those losses are fab, I hope I get as good a loss as you! I managed to make it through day 4 hell yesterday and thankgod I feel a lot better today :) hopefully the weekend will be kind to me, even managed to sit there with a glass of water last night while hubby...

Ohh that is lovely!! I would just love to be able to pick up anything out of my wardrobe, chuck it on and know that I look good! x

Thanks Jay, I am trying my hardest to remember why I am doing this, I can't fail because if I do, I am basically giving up on having a baby and I can't do that!! Nearly made it through today, at least I know if I can make it through 1 bad day, I can make it through the next :) xx

Well and truely sold nic_noc, welcome to our team :D Hope day 1 is going well for you. A wedding dress is a great motivator and you will loose that in no time, I got married in May just gone and really wish I had lost weight for it but I just couldnt muster up the determination at the time! xx

Mine is IVF - Need to get my BMI to 30 before we can get NHS funding, been trying with every diet going for months but never got anywhere :sigh: this time will be different x

Thanks Abbie, that is a very good way of looking at it and I like the peeing thing too lol, never really thought about it but your right :) I have made it to 4.30 so I can make it to the end of today, think I am going to go to bed early tonight though! I had a sign earlier actually, Just as I...

Ohh my god I feel so rubbish today, it is day 4 and I woke up about 3am this morning feeling so sick, I managed to get back to sleep and have felt really sick all day. Its 1pm now and I have come home from work for a couple of hours for my lunch break as needed to get out of the office. All I...

Glad you both made it through day 1 yesterday :) I am on day 4 today and I am really struggling today to be honest, I have come home for a couple of hours from work for lunch because I feel so sick! I am mentally starving today (not physically just want food!) all I can think about is pizza! I...

Day 3 and still feeling suprisingly ok, although my tummy feels very empty now! I am really impressed with myself that I have made it through day 3, I never stick to anything and always cheat but have been 100% good and am deff going to do this, I am really happy at the min!! I went to...

Hi Abbie, welcome to our team :) Hope day 1 is going ok. Jaykayelle, hope your hunger has subsided a bit. I am nearly at the the end of day 3 and still feeling suprisingly ok!! My tummy feels a bit weird now though, very empty but I seem to have got the timings of the shakes about right so...

Waffle away, I am at the min, keeps my mind off the f word though :P Good luck for tomorrow x

Congratulations on the baby and wedding :) I agree that trying for another baby is a great motivator, I need to loose 4.5 stone for IVF and I am keeping this thought in my head everyday, it works! I am also on day 2 today so lets hope day 3 is kind to us!! xx

Thanks :) I am really tring more than I have ever tried in my life, I want this to work more than anything!! So day 2, has been pretty ok actually, have had a bit of a headache but have just been taking paracetomol which seems to have done the trick, not sure why I am not feeling worse though...

Hi Guys, how is everyone doing today? Jayellekay, did you manage to get all tetras? I have nearly got through day 2 :) I have been a bit headachy today but have been taking paracetomol every 4 hours which seems to have worked, starting to get a really horrible taste in my mouth too, how...

Hiya I am 5'8 so just on the border for the 4 shakes a day, I know it is more expensive but i would totally recommend having 4 a day if you are taller, I attempted this a coupl eof years ago with 3 a day and on day 10, everyone else was feeling better but it was just getting worse for me...

Well done hun, that is will power if ever I saw it :) xx

I started today too and had a really bad headache earlier, I have just kept the paracetomol topped up every 4 hours since though and am now fine :) x

Sounds very interesting Rachele! Don't blame you for eating lots while studying, good luck with the next to exams, I am sure you will do brilliantly, at least it is something to focus on rather than hunger :) Good luck with your CDC tomorrow Jayellekay, I was quite scared when I went to see...

Hi Rachele, well done on not reaching for the chocolate after your exam :) but sorry to hear it didn't go well, what are you studying for? Emmey, hope your first day back at work went ok and you managed to drink all your water. Today was my first day and so far I am doing well, I am doing...

Thanks guys :) I know I am going to do this and like you say, what better motivation - If I fail then we will probably never get the baby we desperatly want so failing is not an option! Ok so its 5.30pm on day 1 and apart from the slight headache and getting hungrier by the min due to DH's...

My name is Zoe and I have just been to see my new CDC Naina and am really looking forward to starting my weight loss journey tomorrow. My main reason for wanting to loose weight is for IVF, my husband and I are desperate for a baby but I have PCOS and do not ovulate. We have been referred to...

Hi Guys missyl that speadsheet is fab - it's always good to have someone so organised around :) I have just got back from seeing my CDC and have got all my shakes for the next week, I can't wait to start tomorrow now, I am a million percent focused and know I can do this! By the way, my...

Hi Guys Could I join you? I am going to see my CDC tomorrow afternoon and am starting Tuesday, my weigh in day will be mondays. Want to loose about 6 stone so I am going to be here a little while and would love to be part of a team for support :) Zoe xx

Thanks guys, I think I am going to do SS+ for the first week but with 4 shakes and the milk, not the food, I dont think I could handle the little bit of food, would rather not have any! If I find it ok then I might go down to SS the week after, just want to give myself the best shot! xx

Hi I am starting Cambridge on Tuesday (going to see me CDC tomorrow evening) and wondered if there was a significant weight loss difference between SS and SS+? I get the impression most people go for SS so wondered if there was any reason why? Thanks Zoe x

I would like a team too if there are any spaces going, starting Tuesday :)

My hubby has just bought me an acti fry (after numerous hints!) - how do you guys point them? x

Hi guys, Glad there is still a sub forum for good old discover plan! I am starting WW again tomorrow and really dont fancy the new plan, I am deff not a healthy eater but managed to loose 26lb in about 2 months previously, despite this. So old plan it is for me!

Hi I just wondered if everyone fills their plate with 1/3 vege on extra easy? I am not the best at eating veg and was wondering if everyone does this and if not, if you still have good losses? Thanks!

Are there any spaces on any teams? Starting tomorrow and would really love a team for support! Thanks Zoe

Hi Guys, Are there any spaces anywhere? Starting Cambridge tomorrow.... Thanks Zoe x

Hi Guys I am off to my first meeting tonight. Me and my husband have been trying for a baby for about 3 years and finally had a fertility appointment today, only to be told while they would offer us IVF, they wont until my BMI is 30, it's 38 at the min. While I new this was coming, it has...

Could I join a team please if there any spaces? x

Hi Guys Was wondering if there were any spaces on any teams at all? I am starting CD SS tomorrow and would love to have a team to help me through the tough times and help me celebrate the good! Please let me know if you have any spaces :) Thanks, MrsLearmouth

Hi Guys, I am starting CD SS tomorrow (Monday) and would love to join a team to help me through the tough times and join in my celebrations during the good times! Please please let me know if you have any spaces :) Thanks Zoe
