I'm desperately need to reduce the size of my arse!

11st 10lb - 11st 1lb - 9st 5lb

I take steroids when I'm pregnant, so going in overweight isn't good (assuming I ever manage to conceive ).

I'm currently in the middles of my 10th cycle ttc our 3rd living child. No real idea what's wrong with us.

#1 - was a quiak natural conception (8 years ago!)
#2 - IVF after >3 years of trying (lost in the second trimester to PROM & placental abruptiom)
#3 - first cycle with FSH injections.

but, I forgot to add, we are really 'trying' now!

Oh forgot my conception stats....

I quit taking the pill in August 2005 and I've been temping on FF ever since. My XH and I were supposedly TTC, but since he was loathe to have sex more than once every 2 months, the "Trying" was really only on my part. Plus with my PCOS I didn't ovulate every cycle and had 2, 3, and 4 months cycles. Really not a snowball's chance in hell!

Been with new partner since May 2007 and we stopped using contraception in about July (not really trying, just not trying to stop it). Still I'm counting cycles from when we stopped contraception, so I'm on my 9th cycle with my new parter, but 22nd cycle overall. I cannot believe that in four months it will be 3 bloody years since I started all this!

Thanks fym - am on the mend. Apppetite coming back but not really up torunning yet so will have to make sure I don't start to undo the good work so far !

Yesterday foodwise wasn't so good - we took dd to the theatre to see Angelina Ballerina so had

breakfast - pain au chocolat
lunch - pizza (but with no cheese and I didn't eat it all)
Dinner - 1 hot dog (with a proper sausage - ooer) and chips (oven). 2 glasses of red wine.

today I didn't have any breakfast and went to friends for a roast (chicken, veg and 3 roast potatoes) then ice cream for pudding (I turned down teh apple tart but couldn't quite resist the ice cream). Not sure what else I will have today.....

As for ttc stats - I'm ttc number 2 (DD is 3) , had a m/c July 06 and on 20th cycle since we started again after m/c (Ready - I think I remember us being on the same number of cycles about a year ago on another ttc !) having conceived in first & second cycle with 2 previous conceptions. Have first appointment at ACU on 17th which has been part of making me lose weight !

oh I'm doing terrible, not even trying at the moment with it being moving week! We're not even cooking at home....last night was leaving drinks with friends. Had a burger/chips plus quite a few fruit beers which I'm sure were chock full of sugar, but oh so tasty.

Today had a cafe fry up, 1 egg, hashbrowns, 1 sausage, bacon, toast, & beans. Then for early dinner we had Chinese and I feel so awful now I want to barf.

Well this is all very embarassing, I think I might have to try to eat a little bit more healthily tomorrow! I tend to be very all or nothing, either I'm watching what I eat strictly, or I'm not bothering at all.

Can I be really nosy and ask about the conception stats too? I am on the hunt for my first baby? been on that well travelled road for a while, our 20th cycle now.

Yesterday I went out for the day with dh, bit of shopping ? and had chips for lunch. Then pizza for tea and then went out with friends to the pub? where I had wine and cherry brandy with lemonade (my new favourite tipple) all evening, so I for one am grateful we are not weighing in on Monday morning!!

fym, the juices are a good way of boosting your 5-a-day ? my problem with this ttc lark, is that I am frightened of doing my usual boxercise in the 2ww.

welcome Lennied

I think I could do with a bit of a kick up the backside on the weight loss front so am going to join you.

Know exactly what you mean about the 2WW; and when AF arrives fym I do exactly the same. Rest of the month I lose weight, only to put it back on again. Successfully lost 2st since having DD but hit a bit of a plateau. Will start doing food tomorrow...

I'm having a weekend off I've decided - can get back on it tomorrow, but figure that I can enjoy the one weekend a month when have definitely not succeeded on the TTC mission, and so can have lots of wine, cakes, chips, and all the other things that will be offlimits for the rest of the time! Plus have done lots of heavy lifting so need calories (Mr. Hol decided to dismantle our spare wardrobe yesterday, so had to take that to the tip - I am STRONG!)

So, yesterday wasn't too bad: cereal, small amount of chips for lunch (was sad), cold meat & bread for tea, and half a bottle of wine ().

Today am going to eat cake though

Yes Ready indeed inspired by the wonderful Idlewild! Herbaceous too fat at 5"8" and 11st 7! I am 5 "4" and 12st 9! I don't consider myself 'that' fat as I have a lot of muscle due to a history of running/gym etc. I am size 14-16 but would like to get down to a comfortable size 14 before conceiving, which would be about 12st for me.

My eating today isn't particularly representative as I am flu ridden so have no appetite so haven't eaten much but what I have eaten wasn't great !
Breakfast - 1 crumpet with marmite
lunch - 1.5 bacon rolls
dinner - yet to be had, should be sweet potato/squash curry but not sure I fancy it so don't know what it will be.

I should probably join this too - Have already successfully lost a bit (started at about 11 stone now down to about 10lb 4 ish - my scales were £2 in Ikea and don't appear that accurate).

I'm running and watching what I eat. Have been quite ill with flu this week which has helped !

Have 9 st as my goal as I am a midget so this is what I should be for ideal BMI but I don't think I have been this weight since early teens so would settle for 9 stone 7 (am quite naturally muscley below the flab which I htink skews the bmi)...

fym, I'm impressed I decided to fall off the wagon in style though, fairly early on:

Breakfast: Muesli
Morning snack: Special K snacky things
Lunch: Salad, lasagne, pitta with hummus, and profiteroles
Afternoon snack: a cream egg
Dinner: Indian

And wine to finish it off (which is to cheer myself up for not being pregnant )

Tomorrow, back to it properly!
