Pregnancy 2010 - Week 7

I don't want to do this anymore. Nothing is happening! Nothing! the weight isn't going away and the measurements aren't changing. What's the point of this and all this work if it isn't making a difference? I won't be healthy being obese, so what's the point? I eat the right calories, I work out 6 days a week, and I eat those calories too! My thyroid is fine and my GP says there's nothing to be done. 7 weeks! This is retarded and I am so fed up with it! I see everyone else and you're losing the weight, so why can't I? It's supposed to be calories in vs. calories out.

I'm so tired of this!

I understand the frustration. Please don't give up! I know that it can be so hard to work and try and do everything right and never see that scale move. You just have to keep working at it. Eventually you will see that movement that you are looking for. Have you tried including any sort of supplement. A few years back I was trying to lose weight and no matter what I did I just couldn't seem to lose anything. I started using Hydroxycut for about 2 weeks and started seeing the movement that I was looking for. I quite using the Hydroxycut after I started losing and continued to lose. I believe that I just needed something more than just calories in/calories out in order to start losing. I ended up getting down to about to where I wanted to be and, of course, just put it back on, which I why I am here now. I am not a big fan of using drugs or taking any sort of pills but, after just over 2 months of counting every calorie burned and consumed with absolutely zero to show for it, I decided it was time to try something new. I don't know how you feel about taking supplements and such but, it might be what your body needs to give it that little jump start.

Keep working and doing what you are doing. The weight will start to come off... just give it time.

I'm still here, sorry to hear the morning sickness is still on the go, I am not exercising either, no morning sickness for me just tired all the time. I got my hubby to hide the scales yesterday, I have put on 1 kilo in 2 weeks and I don't want to obsess about my weight for the next 8 months. I am glad you can see the second trimester light , i wish I was as close as you are, they say after 12 weeks the chance of MC goes down alot, it didn't worry me last time but I had a bit of spotting last week and mild cramping, went to the docs and he said come back a week later if I don't miscarriage, so it's a week tomorrow and all is good, sorry to rant. Hope you had a relaxing day at the beach.

I'm so sorry to har that, it must be very scary. I've been having dreams about spotting and miscarrying and it's just a huge fear of mine. A friend of mine was also pregnant 2 weeks ahead of me but miscarried. I'm so glad that after a week you there's been no more problems and I absolutely believe and am praying that you're baby is healthy and safe and there will be no more bumps in the road!

Thanks Angela for the kind words.
well I started spotting again this morning so i have done a first urine sample and am going to the docs in a few hours, I hope this time he will be a bit more reassuring if not I might go to another doctor, I just want him to say oh that's normal and stop worrying. I really just want to enjoy being pregnant not having to be scared every time I go to the toilet! Fingers crossed I will get an early ultrasound and see a heartbeat, maybe I should just ask for one.
I hope everyone is doing well, relaxing and putting their feet up and stress free.

trying again, sorry

Hello Ladies!
Just wondering if you'd let me join your group. I was actually reading along for awhile while DH and I were thinking about TTC. I found out last week that I am indeed preggo and would like to keep myself healthy this time around. I haven't gotten an official due date as of yet but will be making an appointment with my Doc this week. I'm thinking the end of October. I look forward to getting to know y'all!
Oh I started (2 weeks ago when I last weighed myself) at 170lbs. When/how often are you weighing/checking in?

Thanks Angela for the kind words.

Haven't heard an update since you went in for the doc appt, did everything go ok? Been thinking about you! If you haven't already I would request an ultrasound!

Hi ladies, hope everyone is well.
Well this is my last post in here for awhile, started my period yesterday , I just can't bring myself to say the MC word.
So back to weight loss and TTC. It really makes me appreciate the little angel we have already.
I hope everyone has hassle free pregnancies and lots of healthy little babies in the next year.
Goodluck and thanks for the support
Mel
