Lose 10 pounds in 7 weeks - anyone like to join me?

You will be an expert at injecting after a week or two.
I just jab 'em in and go now!!!!!!

I dearly hope all goes well.

All the best to both of you lovely ladies fingers and toes crossed. xx

Had 2 appointments so far. First one last Monday was pretty uneventful. This week, I was scanned to make sure the pregnancy was in the right place so that I could be given my meds as they would have been dangerous if ectopic. I was only 5+2 so only saw sac and yolk in right place and am getting re-scanned on 5/6 to check viability. I was also taught how to inject my meds (ouch!) and am doing ok on those. Have to go back weekly for blood tests, all a bit of a roller coaster!

Thanks.
When is your appointment?

Everything crossed for you Cogs x

My AF is due at the end next week......same time as my DSs birthday ....just to rub it in a bit hey???

I start my jabs on CD2...so hopefully a normal AF so I can just get on with it again.

I'm having a super dose this month so watch out for the bfp announcement of quads!!!!!!

Well done on the losses girls!!

I put on a flaming lb this week. Tut. DH thinks our scales are unreliable, which is very sweet of him.

I am going away from early next week for a bit, and so won't be able to post my weights. There is no way I am leaving Mumsnet in the history of my mother in law's computer - can you imagine the can of worms that might unleash!! It's best that she doesn't know we are ttc, otherwise I will never get a minutes peace.

See you all soon - hope we are all lighter by then

Well done Coggy - fabulous work, I am very how are you anyway? ok? when does the process kick off again?

losses....I mean!

Lost 5 1/2 pounds since this thread started and have got to target minus 1 pound.
Total loss....15 pounds....probably wouldn;t have been faffed without this thread though....HURRAH for us....loses big and small are still loses I say.

CookieMomster - yep I need the further encouragement of a new thread, I need to keep going or I will just undo the work that I have done.!

Mum03 ? not a fail at all, it?s still 2.25 that you are no longer carrying! Well done!

CookieMOMster ? love the new name well done on the weight loss! I?m fine thanks, mostly tired but doing well

Hey everybody, I lost a bit more than 4 lbs this week (2 kilos), yeah!! I think I have reached the goal of 10 lbs just barely, but I am so proud. This week's loss is probably due to the bug I came down with, but I don't care as long as it stays off! I hope to stay in touch with you girls. Shall we start another thread?
MrsMc, how are you? Hope to hear more about your pg as well!! Talk to you later! XX

Progress for MUM03
week 0 - 30th March (11st 11.5) wish 10st 6oz
Week 1 - 5th April 1lb off (11st 10.5)
Week 2 - 11th April 1/4lb OFF (11st 10.25)
Week 3 - 18th April = (11st 10.25)
Week 4 - 25th April 1+1/4 off (11st 9.00)
Week 5 - 3rd May 1/4 ON (11st 9.25)
Week 6 - 9th May 3/4 off (11st 8.5)
Week 7 - 16th May 1/2 off (11st 8.0) Week 8 - 23rd May 1 1/4 ON (11st 9.25)

Total Loss = 2.25

Therefore 2.25 / 10 aim = 22.5% - fail grade!

still perhaps we could make the next thread loose 7lbs in 10 weeks, maybe I could reach that target!!!

Well ladies those 7 weeks are up!! I was at the wedding on Sat that I started this thread for!! I have no idea how much I weigh this week. My weigh in is on Sat but the aim for me now is to stay the same not put on or lose, at least not for a while.

So how have you all done then? Shall we have a total weight loss tally?

Sorry I haven?t been on to chat for a while I do think about you guys!

Hi all,

I am pleased just hope it continues, my real aim is to get my BMI in the healthy range so that if I have to go to the doctors about not becoming pregnant () then they won't need to say that I need to lose weight. Proberbly a strange way to look at it but I need something to focus on and hope that it helps in my TTC mission!

Hope you are all well, so pleased for MrsMc and seaside lets hope the rest of us can follow soon with our BFP's. (Although I'm not really 'officially' TTC but it is too hard not to think about it sometimes)

cookieMOMster - hope you are not eating too many cookies??

Pussycatmomma - 5-6lbs!! WTF? How much do they have to lose overall - I imagine the bigger they are the bigger the losses - but in percentage terms, it might not be any better than your 1lb for you - IYSWIM?? Steady losses are the best!! That's my mantra!

coggy - well done on staying the same - maintaining target weight despite cakes - good going!

Gracie - well done you!! gold star!!

Hi everyone else!! Not sure who is still here and who isn't - perhaps we need to do a revised list next week??

ATTENTION PLEEEEAAAASE for theMNerformerlyknownaslinjasmom:
I have finally found another nickname I like (and think is funny) so I am now cookieMOMster. Just wanted to let you now so you don't throw me off the thread [ducks in panic in case nobody likes the name]. Good night, am off to bed now!

Go Gracie, Go Gracie, Go Gracie!!!!
You are star of the week so far I think!
Only 1 pound off for me, but at least its going in the right direction. I sit in the ww class, and ladies who started the same time as me are losing 5-6 pounds a week
What the hell are they doing???!
Mrs mc, hope everything is ok with you.
Coggs,well done on staying the same, cant wait till I might be celebrating with cake!!
mmmmmmmmmmmm, cake!

Well done for the losses and MrsMc thats fab news so pleased for you. Hope your all having a good week.

Linjasmom your little one is lovely.

I have stayed the same as last week. At least I have not gained.

Ready I have only lost 3lbs since the start of this thread, but I am working on convincing myself that the change in lifestyle is making it a permanent change, rather than a crash diet. PMA in action!!!
