Thanks YM.
Well i did 90 mins solid cardio in gym this morning and burnt 800 cals, im getting fitter as im having to work harder to get my heart rate up!! Then did an hour of kick boxing tonight..........but i have eaten loads today for some reason i have been starving and nothing was satisfying my hunger..........i hope i havnt buggered it up for tomorrow as i have the drs WI tomorrow.
I made a scrummy soup today from WW forum so simple and hardly any cals.
I roasted the veg first but u dont have too.
1 x butternut squash
2 x peppers (not green)
2 x average size onions
as much garlic as u want
mixed herbs
chilli to taste
2 x chicken or veg oxo
stick it in a pan, cover with stock cover till the veg softens and liqidise.....if u roast the veg 1st it gives it a richer flavour!!!
yummy!!!!

Rowan... i couldnt bloody beleive it especially as last time they made such a big thing about my BMI and IVF........ all he did was give us test results! I actually asked him to weigh me as i knew i was at least 7lb down (THATS a 1st!) and he said no as i have been referred to a different specialist and they will do that next week!!!!! hubby found it hilarious as i was ready to gnaw my legs off..........bloody men.......bloody drs.........yummy guilt free chocolate on the way home tho so i guess every cloud and all that!!!!

Losing the baby fat
Have you got to be a certain BMI before they'll do IVF? Is it like under 25?
Might you not need it if you lose weight? (dont want to pry like!)
I got pregnant when I lost weight. I had a miscarriage the first time but the next time was pregnant again, first time again... had only tried once before when I was 15 stone and quite a bit younger, and I think the weight loss could have played a big factor in being successful. They reckon more 25bmi rather than say 21 bmi to be successful.
Good luck - its a great reason to be doing this, but gawd they could have weighed you!!! it wouldnt have cost them anything! xx

Its got to be below 29 but my problem is i have a lot of muscle because i work out so much so on a proper bmi machine that measures water, muscle and fat i have a bmi of 25, so healthy, the NHS do it the old fashioned way and go off my height/weight which is not accurate at all as i can weigh more than someone with no muscle just fat and unhealthy..... they could get IVF but i wouldnt......... we dont even know if we need IVF but the specialist said he wanted to prewarn me rather than drop it on me last minute. it was a very awkward convo last time as he only weighed me to check my weight as he said i looked a healthy BMI but turns out I need to lose 2 stone in weight .......weather its muscle or fat!!! bloody annoying but gotta be done.....!

That is annoying but suppose for them they have to have a basic cut off point somewhere. At least you'll have some weight in the bank as it were for carrying a baby - be warned, I put on 7 stone! wish I had watched what I was eating but I had a raging appetite and was eating for 50! Awww hope it all works out for you. I never thought I'd be a mam, but became one at 38 and wouldnt be without her (most days haha) xx

wel its given the motivation to do it healthily and slowly so thats gotta be a positive. My Little sis is pregnant with her 2nd now and she said the same abot eating however she informed me last night that she was 'so fat' and when i asked her weight, she ( at 6 months pregnant) weighs 4lb more than me and is also 2 inches taller so probably STILL looks slimmer!!!! LOL - sisters eh, gotta love em!!!

Right. I have had a chat with myself tonight as i really dont wanna set myself up for a fail...im gonna aim for 1lb a week and any more is a bonus....thats means in 6 months i will be 24lb lighter and considering i need to lose anoth 25lb from the last WI i think thats pretty damn good so by August, just in time for my hols in Sept, i WILL be lovely and svelt and in proportion.
