I've donated my eggs three times now, but always for free. I met the first child (other than my own kids) conceived from my eggs in January this year, it was pretty amazing! Never delivered a baby though!

Add me too. My boys are 4 and 2 years old respectively.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm going to take all the advice to heart and plan out healthy options, eat lightly and breakfast and lunch, do lots of walks/swims/etc and then thoroughly enjoy myself in the evenings. Mmmm, bring on the wine and cheese :-D

Anyone? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Baaaahahahahaha! Think I'll give myself a rest during the day today, and go for a walk this evening. I walk pretty fast (4.5mph usually) so that should be a good cardio workout for today at least. Then I'll get back into the 30DS tomorrow and hope Jillian doesn't kill me after two days off.

Ha! I wish I only had one day. I have a week of AF, but generally only one day of cramps.

You are so inspirational. I have been despairing of my own stomach after having two children, but you've had three and look at you! So if you can do it then I can too. Thank you so much for sharing and congratulations on your incredible success!

That's such a cute outfit, and your little waist makes it work perfectly on you. Super hot! Edit: This works for both the two posts above mine!

Thanks for all the replies, I'm learning lots from this thread. I am exercising - 30DS every day without fail, plus I'm doing extra cardio as well (mostly walking around 40 mins a day, very briskly so that I'm pouring with sweat by the end). So hopefully that will count in my favour too. I've just bought some Vit E, so I…

Thanks, I'll give vitamin E a go and see if it helps. I'm 30 and a non-smoker, so hopefully it'll bounce back eventually!

That's definitely worth celebrating!

I'm proud of myself for resisting the lemon curd tart at my favourite local cafe and just having a coffee with skim milk instead. Also because I'm going to the Gold Class cinema tonight, and I'm being careful to eat sparingly today and exercise more so that I have a calorie credit to use tonight. A month ago I'd have just…

I have quite a lot of P!nk in my jogging playlist, her beats tend to work well with my natural running rhythm - tracks include So What, Raise Your Glass and U & Ur Hand. Others on my playlist include Moves Like Jagger (Maroon 5), Fighter (Christina Aguilera), Forget You (Cee Lo Green), and Fat Bottomed Girls (Queen - to…

I do it too. Usually not a day or two in advance, but certainly in the morning of any given day you can find me planning out the rest of what I expect to eat that day in order to make sure it all fits within the master plan. Usually when planning I'll try to leave myself a couple of hundred calories to allow for a certain…

I don't know, but I'll be interested to read the responses. My favourite pasta dish has wholegrain spaghetti, low-fat ricotta, lemon juice and zest, fresh basil and a handful of quartered cherry tomatoes, plus freshly ground black pepper to taste. I don't eat it more than once a week, but it's utterly delicious when I do.

Hi, I've just started the 30DS too - great to find this group at just the right time! I did level 1 yesterday and today, and I'm planning on doing a workout 6 days per week (I'll probably keep it two weeks for each level, to make it easy for myself to remember).

Hi from Auckland - and I want to be model thin too. Don't like my chances after two kids and an awful lot of chocolate cake, but you never know...

Female 5'3" 30yrs old SW 155 CW 150 GW 135 (for starters at least) I want to look good in anything I feel like wearing and be fit and active with my two preschooler boys.

1 ) I had two children, and then did two rounds of IVF as an egg donor. 2 ) I love baking. 3) I didn't seem to have an off switch once I started eating. 4 ) My husband is an evening snacker, so I would eat in the evenings even when I wasn't hungry. 5 ) I had no idea that wine contained so many calories. 6 ) I hated…

Thank you jellymuffin - and I really like your idea about keeping the extra calories in credit for the weekend!

This is my first day on this website and I'm still learning my way around. I apologise if I've caused offence.
