Hope you dont mind me joining you?
A little about myself, Im a CD returner. Originally did the diet in 2006 for my wedding and lost in total 6 stone but unfortunately over the next 3 years nearly all of the weight returned to haunt me! I re started in March this year as me and my hubby have been trying for a baby for three years now unsucessfully and had then been referred for IVF. It was then that I realised that in order to be able to receive IVF on the NHS I would have to drop to a healthy BMI of 30 or below and so my journey started. It has not been easy but the results are amazing yet again. On 24th of June I had my IVF appointment and much to my delight and the shock of the nurse I had dropped from 15.5 and a quarter to 11.11 which at 5ft 3 gave me a BMI of 29.8 and so instead of going on the waiting list till I lose weight I am now elligible for treatment. My first consultant appointment is on the 16th of this month so I am on the 1200cal step of maintenance at the mo and start 1500cal tomorrow. I still want to drop about another stone if poss but am going to do this with a healthy diet and excercise. Sorry to ramble on a bit and hello again. xxx
