Hi!!! I had one cycle (successful thankfully) and I didn't have any weight gain at all. Now the pregnancy...thats another story. lol Good luck!!

OMG I did years ago and the food is NASTY. You will definitely lose weight but once your off it you will gain it right back. It's not the way to go. None of those prepackaged meal plans are. At some point you have to go off and it's not teaching you to eat correctly.

I'm in Leahs friends group and have that goal. At 111 ish now depending on what the scale decides to do that day. lol Would love to be 105. I've been at 100 before and couldn't make it stick. O and I'm 5 ft. Add me!! :)

What about protein bars or fiber bars or a can of soup? I think they usually have a section with microwaveable food. It's not the best option but should get you through it.

What about their steamed vegetables?

KFC Grilled chicken. Is that on your way? For sides get green beans and corn and tell them to keep the bread.

Sorry babe...there is nothing you can do about them. I have researched and researched this and there are a lot of myths (cocoa butter) but ultimately these are scars in your skin and they will not go away. There is one kind that can fade. I forget if it's the light ones or dark ones but they will not go away. I wish.

AJ...isn't the exhaustion test completely seperate than the last days set? I think it's like the one that we took to start this whole process? I'm assuming anyway so the test needs to happen either Sat or Sun. Could be completely wrong about this btw. Thoughts?

Oh my lord Mrs Hinds how in the world did you keep your composure?? What a jack a**. I can't say anything else about it, it just makes me mad :angry: Karen. I totally feel you're pain. We are about a week away from our final consultation which is where they give you the protocal for IVF and get ya started and I am…

O M G I am so in!!!

Oh Pam!! Go to the doc and get antibiotics!! They can be really bad if you let them get out of control. Yikes with the blood. That's not a good sign. I used to get them all the time and sucked it up because of a bad experience with the doctor. Finally about a year ago I couldn't take it anymore so I went back to the doc…

LMAO...that made me almost spit out my tea. I would too...minus the blue. How long did Charlie say she would look like that?? lol

Bump. I'll be pregnant in the next month or two so if you start a group I'd like to stalk it until then and then join. Good luck and congrats!!! :)

Oh my...that is my pet peeve on here as well as the starvation mode thing. I want to scream when someone posts...I've been working out for a week and no weight loss, somethings wrong.....then someone tells them it's muscle. In a week???? REALLY?

Hi all...sorry I've been out of the loop. Feel like I"m stuck in the phase I'm in. Tick tock to the next appt with the Doc which will be next Thurs and when we get the IVF show on the road. I can't wait. My head is spinning. Stay tuned. :) Kim....OMG I feel you on the hubby thing. My husband is a huge germaphobe and the…

Crap...I just saw we have to do at least 16 by the end of this week to not have to repeat a week. :noway:

Sorry didn't post Friday or Mon. Actually did it last night since I forgot Monday. All on my toes btw WK1D1 17 max 8 WK1D2 24 max 12 WK1D3 24 max 7 (thursday night I took pilates and I think it affected my pushups. My arms were sore!) WK2D1 30 max 12

Yeah it's your age. Enjoy it...embrace it. I was always super skinny...super. Could not gain weight for the life of me and then I had my son. I know people say this and your not grasping it (cause I did at your age) but believe me when I tell you, you will. So that and my age and not understanding nutrition and exercise…

You know I don't know if it would take less time with one. I think in a crock pot it doesn't matter if you have 1 or 4 but I could be wrong. For today chuck it in the oven.

4 hours on high...6 to 8 hours on low. That's the general rule for chicken from what I understand. I did the same thing today but hubby put it in around 10 am for dinner.

Great post. I have been trying to explain this and you just did it perfectly. I weigh in everyday and I log it in my planner everyday. I notice the trend and have noticed how my body handles different things. Ultimately I see the trend go down and it helps me not take so seriously the days that see high. This has helped me…

You might be right on about this. My sister had a pediatrician for her kids who was over weight and made it known she was an over weight child. My sisters kids were all heavy kids. She would ask the pediatricial about this and she would blow her off telling her it was normal and they were fine. Yes, they might have been…

^^ love the format. Lets use that!!! IT: 5 (toes) D1: 8 max, 17 total D2: 12 max, 24 total D3: TBD

ajbeans...sorry to hear about your headache. :flowerforyou: Are you going to update a progress report after each week? I keep trying to see how well people are doing but it's hard to keep up and go back. Maybe people should put on their update where they started so we see how they are doing?

OMG those were fantastic!!! lol

How tall are you? Don't be frustrated. What kind of working out do you do? Strength? Cardio? I started in Dec working out 7 days a week pretty hard core...lots of strength and it took me almost 2 months to lose anything. When you first start working out your muscles retain water which can offset the weight loss. I forget…

Hi Ladies!!! Just a quick note hoping it helps someone on here but I got a recommendation about a facebook page where people exchange meds. Not sure if it would help any of you but I've added them as a friend and am hoping I get some relief from the costly meds I will need. Look for give away acost on FB. Jessica

^ what she said!!! You don't have to go into "starvation mode". People do it all the time. It's just really hard work. I wish I had the discipline to do it. Good luck!

W1D2 Complete. 24 all on my toes. Did 12 on the last set. :>O Hubby watched my form and everything. This is from a girl that started doing 1. Woop woop. lol

Erica...I sent the request to be let in the group. :) How are you feeling today?
