Loosing weight before ttc

[Freefalling]

Morning Guys.....

Abz, thanks for that, makes sense now but i was soooo nasty! I'm not usually very up and down like that but i was causing hissy fits. Won't be making a habit of it, def not and tbh its not even bothered me getting right back 100% so thats got to be a good sign. Absolutely determined i can do this, yes its hard but the outcome will be worth it.

Determined, maybe you have just done too much at once and your body is holding on to fluid? are you just making ur own plan or following a specific one? Are you def eating enough? come on chick, you can do this

Elaine - where are you?

Hiya everyone.
Sorry for not posting for a while, just not feeling to good at the moment. I didn't weigh in, i haven't weighed in since i last posted which is a shocker as i usually do it at least once a day. I am feeling so sick :cry:feeling very sorry for myself lol.

I need to get back on track again asap! so i can get loosing this weight again. It turns out we will not be able to afford to do the exante diet, so i will try my best with slimming world, not attending the classes, but i have the books.

I am another night time muncher i always feel i need to eat something while watching the tv with hubby, it doesn't help that we are both that way lol.

Hope your all well, and getting on fine with the diets

i can't quite remember which hormone it is. i think it's progestrogen (sp?) but i could be totally wrong, in fact i could have even invented a new hormone

apparently it's why 'middle aged spread' occurs in ladies. it's the only place to store hormones after the menopause i believe. i'm stretching my brain a bit here so i apologise if i'm misinforming, but i'm pretty sure that's right it's been a while since i had to think about it

morning.....

Well today i have decided today is the day of PMA (positive mental attitude). I have been stropping about, moaning for days and its just got to stop! No-one got me into this situation except myself so i have to accept that only I can get myself out of it. CD has been going well, i am so amazed that i have managed to stick to it for this long (day 45 today), yes i have had a sneaky sliver of cheese and a bit of pizza but that was "prescribed" lol. So, onwards and downwards on the scales i go, its a mission, i have finally accepted the only thing i have to loose is weight.

Elaine, hope your feeling a bit better sweetheart, i know how you feel, its like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Things will work themselves out, they always do. I'm sorry to hear your not going to be able to do Exante, i know you really wanted too but maybe SW will be the answer for you. I am an evening picker too, crisps are my major addiction so i understand that. I used to sit and eat a tube of pringles with half a block of cheddar - and i wonder why i got overweight!! I've only even done SW once but found i was still having major portions and it cost us a fortune - used to it tesco a few times a week. Good luck and keep posting, we're all in the same boat huney, Look at what you've lost already, its a good start.

Thanks for that Abz, i'm def taking it as a good sign that the fat is going - goodbye lard! LOL! Gonna start using my CBFM once i have hit BMI35 just so i can get to grip with what my body is up too! I've been using the excel chart from the cd section on here and its amazing seeing your % rise and your BMI fall, really motivating.

So ladies, who is joining my PMA team? we have to do this so we may as well enjoy it, its a marathon not a sprint so we gotta keep our spirits up

Have a wicked day y'all :talk017:

I'm up for team pma. I lost 5lbs in 4 days so i am chuffed. Think ttc may be on hold now, got some weird stuff going on and i'm being sent for blood tests and scans, i'm a little dissapointed but it gives me a change to lose a few more lbs and if they can diagnose and fix it, all the better. Just got to stop googling symptoms because i'm driving myself mad!

 

[Determind]

TEAM PMA makes me smile. I like it a LOT.

Ok, so it's 830 here now and I'm feeling the fridge is calling. Kids are in bed. DH is out. I need someone to pull me back. Help !!!!!

Oli, I'm doing a healthy eating diet as I truly feel for me that if I lose weight too quickly and not work it into my everyday routine, I won't stick to it. Maybe it's a mistake but I'm going to give it 3 to 4 months at least- see how I go and then decide what to do. In fairness, so far I have either lost weight or stayed the same (team pma is working it's stuff), so it's not all bad.

Abz, I'm off to research the hormone..... it'll keep me away from the fridge.

Elaine, hope you're feeling better soon.

Hope all is well with everyone. Talk soon.

Morning Team PMA!! how are we all today? loving the positive vibes coming from Nikki and Determined

Can you believe its Friday already? the weeks are whooshing past we'll be chatting about christmas stuff soon, haha

Nikki, sorry to hear your having tests done, i think the worst thing is not knowing. Fingers crossed ur bloods come back clear. Hugs.

Determined, every diet is great and if your losing and sts then its working, stick with it. How much are you hoping to loose?

Nothing much planned here today, seeing a few friends and got ironing to do. Keep me busy! Really hoping i can lose another 2lbs by Monday, be amazing..... going to my Mom's on Sunday (regular thing) and OH has asked if i will make chicken and ham pie, so will get crackin with that tomorrow. Really hoping i will get my first £50 next week arty0011:

Have a good day x

 

[abz]

hope you managed to avoid the fridge determind.

i don't know how you can make pies etc whilst doing cd oli!! my god. i had to avoid food smells all together. i do remember quite a lot of the cd people i knew at the time went mad with cooking and starting feeding up their OH's, ha. which is just amusing really. but it made them miss food less. didn't work with me though...

good luck with the loss for monday

abz xx

 

[Freefalling]

hey Abz how are you?

I know, i think i am mad cooking for them but if i left it to OH he would live on fish finger cobs and spag hoops, LOL! thinking of the "swimmers"

Oli x

 

[abz]

ha. get him some fertility vits and let him have his fish fingers, give you a rest

 

[Freefalling]

what a looooooooooong day! can't wait for ant and dec to come on. Been watching Nigella (food porn!) and Bridezilla's (lol). Went to sainsbury's and to Vauxhall to look at a car. Just about to get OH's tea going, would KILL for a saveloy and chips but nope, i am not going there. Been quite hungry today but had a sneaky peek on the scales today and am down another 4lbs, going for another lb by Monday (please, please!!).

Hope u gals are fine, see you for the WI on Monday

 

[mummyofthreegirls]

Morning guys, another weigh in day!!

Just off the scales and delighted to say i am down another 5lbs! this diet rocks so thats 3st 4lbs to date (46lbs)

I am NEVER eating when doing this diet again, i thought i was gonna die (drama queen). Woke up at 1.15 with horrendous stomach pains, it was like my stomach was cramping. Got up and made myself sick and was rolling about in agony, OH got up who thought going to bed would ease it but i was in mortal agony . Took about 10 rennies, then stuff i have for IBS but it never touched the pain. OH got up and got me a hot water bottle and i clamped that on my stomach and eventually it did help but MAN OH MAN was it sore. My stomach was brick hard, thankfully fell asleep at 4.30ish. I'm convinced it can't have just been what i ate that caused that, do you think it could have been? OH is pretty sure it was. Any thought would be great?

Anyway, enough about me - how are you guys getting on??

Oli xx

 

[minime]

Don't want to frighten you hun, but is there a possibility it could be gallstones. VLCDs can cause them due to the rapid weight loss. From what I hear the pain is horrendous and can be brought on by eating fatty food.

Well done on your loss, you are doing fantastically well.

 

[Freefalling]

Hi Minime, i am a bit worried you could be right but if i don't eat any fatty foods and go to the dr once i am thinking of coming off the diet all should be ok huh? Been reading about gall stones and the symptoms def sound similar (a bit too similar). Although, i think its a major push in the right direction that my poor body is struggling .

[Freefalling]

god.... i have picked all day at crap food!!! had cheesy mash when making oh's tea, a couple of bits of carrot, then when i did the cottage pie ate a bit of the mince and spuds! Now i want crisps, got none so would mean going to the shops and i already have jammies on oh refusing to go. This HAS to stop. As of now i am NOT eating, for gods sake, why did i start this? On a positive note, no more cramps but now scared cos it took a couple of hours for it to happen last night. Really think i got a bad burger but will def be getting tested when i am nearing goal.

Where are you all?? i am resorting to talking to myself :cry:

 

[Determind]

Oli,

You sound like you're panicking. There's absolutely no need. Honestly, you're not talking to yourself

Everyone has bad crappy food days - I've been having them for the last three weeks. You're not alon there and don't feel guilty for falling off the wagon for one day when you've done so well. Start again tomorrow and don't beat yourself up over it.

Having said that, you sound really worried about the pains. I would suggest that you talk to a doctor and just check out what it could be.It's probably nothing serious but it will give you peace of mind if you do it.

Other than that,it's good to see so many people joining TEAM PMA !!!

I FINALLY lost another 2lbs so my first offical stone is gone. YEAH! My DH is treaing me to a facial for mothers day to celebrate. Lovely thing to do.

Anyway, I'm off to brave the 8.30pm cravings and eat something healthy.

Talk soon,

Determind

 

[Freefalling]

Hi determined, well done - whoop whoop a stone gone f-o-r-e-v-e-r!! facial sounds good too, bliss.

I'm ok, not panicing, just pissed off with myself :sigh: got my straight and narrow head on i am xxst 01lbs so by Monday i want to be xxst 10lbs

Elaine where art thou??
