It has been a while since I have posted on this board. I was here when it first began and now I am back after getting into the swing of things with going back to work. One of my main goals for the beginning of the year is to work on weight loss so that my husband and I can start TTC again around April. I am taking some…

I love soup

yummy!

So I am a little disappointed. My 4th cycle attempt with infertility drugs (femara this time around) was a bust. My largest follicle was 11 mm and she wants at least 18mm. This means I have one more month and then on to some difficult decisions. I am almost up to 10% of my body weight lost (only a few more pounds);…

Yum! Pumpkin Pie!

Wow! I am amazed at how this group has grown. Welcome to everyone! I missed yesterday and have not been on in the past couple of weeks. I guess that happens when you go back to work. Hopefully things will slow down a bit and I will have more time. On a good note though I have still been managing to get in exercise about 4…

SW: 277 LW: 260 CW: 259 Earlier in the week I was down to 257 but this weekend was rough, especially yesterday. WE had a family get together at our house with lots and lots of food. I tried to be smart but I ended up grazing quite a bit all evening instead of actually sitting down and eating a meal. Here is to making up…

I also take the Target Brand Up and Up Prenatals that are comparable to Women's One A Day with the DHA. If I do not take them when I eat in the evening I also get the "fishy" burps, which I can't stand. Other than that I have had no problems. This last period was definitely much heavier though.

Bump!

Good Monday Everyone! LW: 261.8 CW: 260.0 This is great news considering TOM is here! I have been working really hard and now it is time for me to go back to work for the first day. I am hoping that I am up for some exercise when I get home. One more thing I am excited about and this probably doesn't mean too much to most…

Welcome to MFP. I am from Ohio too (Toledo area). This is a great site with great people!

Great Job this week everyone! I am so happy to see your successes. Keep up the great work!

Im in Ohio too! Northwest Ohio actually. Last time I was at CP was when I took my physics kids there for physics day (im a teacher). I rode the millenium for the first time and it was insane (im also afraid of heights) I was a big CP fan when I was in high school not so much anymore.

I have slacked off on exercise this week since I have gone back to working and getting things ready for the start of the school year I have come home exhausted from working. I will get back on it this weekend and I am hoping that I can figure out how to fit in enough exercise next week. I have already talked to some of the…

Salsa!

Congratulations Tahmed!

Good morning! I was surprised this morning when I got up to exercise. I have been exercising 6-7 days a week for the past three weeks, the two weeks before that I was remodeling my house and the two weeks before that I was working out about 3 days a week. I have been fairly consistent doing something that gets my heart…

yummy!

SW: 277 LW: 262 CW:261 I increased my wanted weight loss which decreased my calories. I have been exercising 6-7 days a week now for 3 weeks. I think my body was kind of shocked with the lowering of calories. I had a couple of higher days this weekend since the scale was showing weight gain in stead of loss. I figured my…

Bump!

Weigh in 262. Loss of 2 pounds!

Chillrose - the .4 lbs doesn't mean too much to me when I gain but let me tell you it means a bunch when I lose!!

Congratulations on your renewed committment! Friend request sent!

There are a lot of women on here with PCOS. It is more difficult but definitely possible. Just don't get down when you hear people losing 5 lbs a week and you lose 1.5. You are still losing. I have PCOS and I find that I cannot lose weight without taking Metformin (I am insulin resistant with the PCOS) and getting regular…

Jalara - Have a great weekend! I hope you enjoy everything. I am sure all of your hardwork will pay off and your wedding will be just lovely. Make sure you take time for yourself and soak everything in as it will be over before you know it. To all the other ladies! I hope you all have a great weekend and good luck with…

I am currently up .4 lbs. I usually weigh in on Mondays so I am hoping that it comes off by then. I did change my goal from 1.5 to 2 lbs to lose this week so maybe my body freaked out since I wasn't eating as much. Oh well. I am hoping to more than make up for it next week. I am increasing my walking workouts. I am a…

I wish I weren't a sweating person. I sweat with little exertion. Great job on breaking a sweat though! It is always great to feel accomplished after a workout and evidence of your hard work just helps!

I have been on and off of metformin since I was about 19. When I took it regularly for an extended period of time I lost a lot of weight. I cannot say whether it helped regulate my cycles because I was also on BCP. However, after I stopped BCP my cycles were still regular. I stopped taking metformin and I gained a ton of…

Bump!
