TOM is finally over and I'm only up a .2 the day after, I'll take it! Jogged 13miles between Sat and Sun so I'm sure my muscles are still swollen. Zumba tonight, then 2 days of jogging. Fri we're headed to my Grandmas' for an early Thanksgiving on my moms' side of the family. I have another 13miles between Sat/Sun, soon it will be all in one day ^.^0 -

Hello everyone!
Eating has been a big challenge for me the last few weeks. I start the day with good intentions but my resolve starts to slip in the afternoon. I have pin pointed the issue though. Seems I have been “too busy” to eat my morning snack and I have a late lunch (long story short: I need to be available to my students during their lunch time) so by the time I realize I’m starving to death around 1:45 my blood sugar is way to low to go for healthy options and I snack from what is left over in the faculty lounge. NEVER a good plan…
I am going to start up my morning workout DVD routine again, which means getting up an hour earlier and getting hungry earlier as well. This will help me eat on time, plus it helps tone me quickly as well (last time I was doing it I saw some awesome results in just about a month).
I might even take a break from the scale for a while and just work on toning through New Years. I run into that all or nothing feeling when I see the numbers starting to climb and I’m close enough to goal that I really don’t need to sabotage myself due to a few turkey dinners.
I see I’m not the only one who is having an issue with adding lbs, so lets all take a deep cleansing breath together and remember that every week, every day, every hour, every minute we can make a new choice to live, eat, and be healthy! :flowerforyou:
Cheers,
Jenn0 -
I'm definitely in!!!0

so im kicking the nearly 3600 calories per week worth of Pepsi in favor of birth control pills. Yes I realize that is a TON op pepsi but in the past few months I have been absent and I have been out of control with the pepsi. I have gained 20 pounds since june
Also the birth control pills might seem counter productive to me having a baby but im not ovulating so hopefully they will regulate my period in the next few months and help me get prego.... BUT Im really worried that I'm going to gain a ton of weight with them so thats why im kicking the soda. so im taking a big chance here since birth control is the reason im over weight to begin with. It sucks so bad that I have to do this but it also sucks that im not able to get pregnant so I guess i'll do it.0 -
55- Did your doctor tell you to go on BC pills? I ask because I have always been told that you should be BC pill free for one whole year before trying to get prego. None of my business... but because I care for you I had to ask. Also, weight is a huge factor in not getting prego. Once you drop some weight you might have a better go at getting knocked up. :flowerforyou:
I wish you luck! Soda should be out of your hands anyway (harder said than done, I know) goggle Dr Oz, he had a show about kicking soda that might help. He cleaned a car battery with the stuff! :sick:
:flowerforyou: Let me know how you are doing on the soda free front, I'm rooting for ya!0 -
jen thanks for being concerned : ) I have a condition called PCOS. It means I have cysts on my ovaries and they prevent me from having normal periods and I dont ovulate normally either. What the birth control does is reduces the cysts that I have and helps to regulate my cycle so that it is more normal and will hopefully make it so that the cysts are gone and I can ovulate with the help of the Metformin that Im also taking... It is pretty tricky getting prego with PCOS. I tried for a whole year with my son and he was 11-12 months old when I concieved again with the help of Metformin both times. This time It has been 2 years so my body had time to grow cysts and get all messed up again.0

2lb. Lost. :-) it's going to be more than five pounds this month. Yeah!0 -
55- I have PCOS also. That's why I am here. in 2009 I started MPF and after losing 20lbs got pregnant. I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks.
Ive been TTC since then and nothing... My Dr. tried to put me on Metformin, but I just can not stand it! LOL. I am hoping that with a greater weight loss, and better diet, I can get pregnant and have a healthy birth.
Has the Metformin really helped you conceive? I ask because even though I do not like what it does to me, I would deal with all that to get pregnant! We have been trying for 6 years now!! Still no children. Not sure what else to do!!0 -
pickles> Yes! I have gotten pregnant and have 2 beautiful kids both concieved with the help of Metformin And I was 152 pounds both times I concieved (( This is the same weight I started trying at this time but iv gained 20 pounds since june )).
The side effects haven't really bothered me except once after continuing to take it after I had my daughter but iv never had any side effects while ttc.
With my oldest I tried for over a year to get pregnant and started taking metformin in january 08 and found out in May 08 that I was 2 months pregnant. then started taking it again in november 08 and found out in March 09 that I was 12 weeks along.0 -
Nov 1: 65 kgs
Nov 15: 64 kgs broke the plateau 0 -
55 and Pickles- I feel your pain..
My original doc, after seeing him because I was a few months late, told me I was normal, but too fat to have kids. Bluntly, just like that! I was furious and refused to go back. My new doc hasn't said I have PCOS yet, but my husband and I have been not trying, but not preventing either, since Dec 2008. I was about 60lbs heavier then and my periods were extremely irregular. I finally started to do something about my weight last April after losing 10lbs unofficially throughout the previous months. My periods finally became regular again in June and I haven't missed one since. So at least I'm regular again, but it's very frustrating when TOM shows up. I wish you both nothing but the best

Awe thanks Bru! Its rough at times and I haven't been trying for nearly as long as you two and I can understand how it could feel. Iv only been trying for 4-5 months this time and it seems like its never going to happen. Bru maybe sincy your cycles are regular now you ought to try Metformin once you hit your goal / or are ready It really is great. 0

I keep forgetting whether weigh-in for this group was Friday or Monday and I'm sure someone's told me once, but I joined that many weigh-in's to motivate me to lose each week I can't remember which is which now... lol! :noway:
Anyway I weighed yesterday on wii fit quick weigh and it told me I had lost 3lbs but couldn't quite believe it, today I got on digital scales and it said I was 10st 11.. had to get on and off 3 times to check and still got it.. so yeah.. i lost 3lbs!!! now 151llbs! first time for years I've been 10st something!! :happy:0 -
