Getting Ready for Baby Challenge -Pt 2

I'm in...

Lost 3lb so far this Jan
Would like to loose 25lbs by April

Using ww which usually works for me- I weigh in on a Friday.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself still period pains are bad this month and I think I've got the startings of a chest infection.

Sorry I don't usually moan as much as I have done the last few days. Sorry everyone else is having a rubbish few days too!

Confused he sounds like a knob!

Let's think positive thoughts today and I will post something happy after work lol

So diet plan - let's say where we are up to and our aim for the rest of the month.

I'll start.

Lost so far - 7 lbs
Aim for Jan - at least 8 lbs (ideally wanted to lose 10 lbs)

Aiming to lose 2 lbs a week so need to lose at least 8 lbs in Jan to be on track.

Hooray! I can link turns on a ski slope just about and I can link websites - who knew!

Ah sounds like we are all suffering from a chronic lack of motivation! Glad it's not just me. Right let's try and rein these diets in a bit. Mine has gone off the boil too. No loss this week and since then I've had a chocolate bar, bag of crisps, three slices of dominoes and chicken crispers and chips from chillis - it stops here!

Still doing dry Jan but going to try to up the exercise levels a bit. And keep drinking lots of water. I need to meal plan and make a list of what we are going to eat so I don't fall into a disorganized trap!

Confused - your ex sounds like a knob. Sorry that it looks like your friend is spilling the beans. Be very careful what you tell them. I'd be tempted to pull them up on it and make it clear the position you've been put in by their gossiping!

I found a website which listed tips to bring on AF including some natural remedies but I can't link it for some reason!

m.md-health.com/How-To-Induce-Your-Period.html

Not sure if this will work?

Confused I really hope you can get something sorted with the house soon. 💐

So sorry about all the bad days. I just ranted on the phone to my oh about mine too! Must be something in the air!

Diet is dead. I feel like I deserve all the good things. I'll worry about the consequences next week when I weigh in!! It's all ok as long as I can fasten my trousers, right?!

Oh no ladies! I've had a crazy day and popped back to find you've all had horrid days. Mine has being quite rubbish too. Same as buzz stretched too thin. Who was the other user who worked in a school? We have so many staff off at the moment with illness.
In other news, my diet has completely gone to pot but I have just been food shopping and picked out lots of healthy alternatives to stop me snacking goodies in the staff room! Awaiting AF and want to stuff my face. Anyone else get extreme tiredness as a PMS symptom? I can't find the energy to do anything! God knows what it must feel like in early pregnancy.

Wow confused that sounds stressful!! Is he refusing to give you it?

Just so much going on at work at the moment and I'm stretched so thin and people just demanding more and more! Yet colleagues who get paid more than me are just chilling while I'm running around like a mad woman! 😡

I went for SW sausage casserole and not so SW roasties from the freezer. We are trying to eat through the freezer at the moment, so meals have been pretty inventive!

confused and buzz sorry you've had crappy days. Maybe pick something off Wiggley's list of treats to cheer yourselves up? I need to get back on the weight loss too, so easy to slip, especially when concentrating on the TTC stuff so hard (but really I guess they should go hand in hand.) Don't want to undo the good work I did last year pre-wedding. Will weigh in tomorrow...

confused I feel for you, literally had the worst most stressful day at work today too! Just on my way home and tempted to pick up chips but I know that's so bad!
I'm dwindling weight loss wise too so it's all going bad!

Congrats on finishing the exam tigger you can relax now!

Terrible day on the health front.. had lots of sugar and salt and wine and coffee! I felt slim this morning (at my YTD 2017 low weight) but quickly started bloating up. Workout and no dinner for me tonight.

How's everyone else doing on the weight loss?

Oh no confused what happened?

I just need to get my head back in the game! Lets hope the Swedish northern lights baby dust works and at least my af is done and dusted before we go away and I'm very glad I've found cycle buddies and super glad the exams done.

Large g+t with cucumbers definitely required I think!!

Really glad the exams done Tigger :) Sorry to hear about AF but at least you can draw a line under this month. We can be cycle buddies with confused!

Well exams done goodness knows how it went, waiting for oh in John Lewis having a savoury scone as too nervous for lunch. Af arrived like clockwork exactly 17 days after ovulation!

My doc said up to 8 weeks for everything to return to normal. I'd like to get it over with tbh as we are away the first weekend of feb for a wedding and ski trip and I just know it's going to time itself for that!

I'll try and find the name of the supplements. I found it by a random google search. Tbh I'm not sure I fancy popping any more pills but was just wondering if they actually work.

Haha MrsC was just about to say that I'm very happy to have some cucumber (in a hendricks gin and tonic!) Good old Ovia.

I am going to go for the alternate day DTD next month if needed as I'm already sick of tracking ovulation. Don't want my moods dictated by that silly clearblue smiley face.

How did it go tigger?

Haha red I love cucumber.... In gin and tonic.... Does that count almond and avocado she is suggesting to me today!
She also informed me that if I get pregnant this cycle I would be due between 14-18 of October, DHs birthday is the 16th! That would be his birthday present sorted anyway!
theres and jupiter I think that's the best way to go about it(every other day) and it's what I'll be doing next cycle because I can't deal with my fertile week changing and dtd 10days in a row again! That's the beginners enthusiasm gone anyway!
For those coming off pill, implant etc did you get a timeline from doc as to when to expect AF or is it very much a waiting game? I think when my mirena came out it took 6weeks for AF.... Ironic as I spotted constantly with the stupid thing in me!
tigger hope exam went well!

Oh and Ovia strikes again - crack out the cucumbers girls

thanks Jupiter

theres yeh, for the sake of timekeeping, i am counting since i came off the pill, no bleed of any kind as yet.
Which supplements have you seen? Agnus Castus?

Just done another OPK and it was exactly the same as yesterday....

Thanks Jupiter

Yes theres I'm counting CD1 as first day off pill.. nothing else to go on although I did have brown spotting for 2 days about a week later.

Just had wine with lunch and feel awful! Maybe I'm earlier in cycle than I thought. I just wish I knew if I have ovulated yet. Will use OPK next month (well in a couple of weeks if no AF!)
