I'm also cutting out the booze, and I'm eating healthy and doing extra exercise. I have given myself a target weight to get to, gives me something else to think too :)

DisneyDiva87 · 28/08/2013 20:19

All this talk of booze is making me want a glass of wine in case I am pregnant and this is my last chance to enjoy it for dear knows how long.

Keepswimming good for you! I said I wanted to lose at least a stone before I got pregnant (although I could do with losing a lot more!) and I've lost 11lbs so far :D so chuffed! You're right that it does give you something else to focus on (obsess over) to keep you semi sane :P

keepswimming1 · 28/08/2013 20:36

leezl - well done you. I'm going to aim for 7lbs to start with see how I get on. I'm calorie counting so we'll see. all I was thinking about was a bfp but now I'm trying to put all my energy into losing weight... although I do have very tingly boobs today??!!! lol

ImaginaryHat · 28/08/2013 20:48

Wow you guys are inspiring me, well done leezl that's fab. I could do with losing some weight too so I'm going to try and eat healthier and exercise more this month. I have close to zero will power though so will need plenty of kicks up the arse from fellow mnetters!

leezl · 28/08/2013 20:55

Thanks Imaginary - you can do it! Even just 1lb a week is such an achievement :)

ImaginaryHat · 28/08/2013 21:05

Well Mr Hat and I just polished off a bag of minstrels with a cuppa so I guess it starts tomorrow! I'm consoling myself at the arrival of af so it's allowed haha. Will get on the cross trainer tomorrow for definite!

Choccywoccydodah · 28/08/2013 21:06

I'm going to exercise classes too. I'm a stone heavier than when I fell pg with ds so could do with that off, but would be happy with half. I've lost 2lbs this last week (my first week) Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 28/08/2013 21:06

Well done leezl, sorry I meant to write that first!!Grin

VJONES1985 · 28/08/2013 21:08

I recently lost 16 lb on Slimming World and do exercise dvds at home. Taking up swimming soon :)

onelifeonechance · 28/08/2013 21:09

Its taken me so long to catch up on all the goss that has appeared since I last looked yesterday that I am now thoroughly exhausted and need to go to bed. You ladies can chat, loving your work :)

13dpo tmrw eeek, still not poas, hands are sore from sitting on them!!!

SuzB83 · 28/08/2013 21:13

Inspire, me too. 13dpo tomorrow(I think) and resisted poas so far. Going to try hold off til fri!

SuzB83 · 28/08/2013 21:14

Oops, was supposed to say onelife me too. Stupid autocorrect!

ImaginaryHat · 28/08/2013 21:15

12 dpo and not yet poas?! That's unheard of round these parts isn't it?! Are you doing it tomorrow morning or holding out even longer?!

onelifeonechance · 28/08/2013 21:15

Same here! Its all random guess work, no idea when ovd, but af due Fri/Sat. Was going to cave and test tmrw but determined to wait til Fri so let's do that Suz :)

onelifeonechance · 28/08/2013 21:16

Inspire is a good auto correct, maybe I should change my name!

onelifeonechance · 28/08/2013 21:18

I did nearly crack this afternoon, but then forced myself to wee loo before I could think better of it!

leezl · 28/08/2013 21:19

Thank you Choccy!
VJ I love slimming world :D

C'mon ladies we can do this! Just think "I'd rather have a baby than a bar of chocolate"!

ImaginaryHat · 28/08/2013 21:31

Yep, that's a good mantra leezl, I'm on board! Especially now there no chocolate in the house!

chattychattyboomba · 28/08/2013 21:34

Loving the health inspiration... I am ins sort of limbo with weight after Pfb (2 years ago!!!) still haven't got back to pre- baby weight but lacking motivation since I know another 10pounder will wreak Havoc on my body Confused
Least I got my bladder control back... Sort of...
Keep it up ladies! I should probably take a leaf (mañana mañana)

DisneyDiva87 · 28/08/2013 21:37

Can I take one of my symptoms back? Just took my bra off and boobs are almost as sore as normal before AF, maybe I just have timings wrong.

Pretty sure I'm not preggers but oh well, wonder if I'll get 2 chances on the sept bus..

Congrats on the weight loss, I can't remember who said it but yes even the loss of 1lb is amazing! But remember not to focus on actual weight loss if you are exercising cause muscle weighs more than fat so you may be getting smaller without actually losing weight. It's best to pull out those old fav jeans and see if you can do the zipper up yet or not (I have a skirt that I aim to always fit into and if I don't then I know I have weight to lose!)

DisneyDiva87 · 28/08/2013 21:42

I walk to work, 20 mins at a quick pace there and back again and I did that is enough to keep the weight off (and trying to eat reasonably healthy). And if you have a bit of a binge day don't beat yourself up about it athletes (cage fighters I know for definite) have a 'cheat' day eery 7-10 days it's supposed to kick start your metabolism or something. Hubby did a gym course to get in shape and he was told he HAD to cheat 1 day a week. So don't beat yourself up too badly for that bar of chocolate or 2 you had the other day just don't do it everyday Grin

Sorry went on a bit of a non angry rant there! I just hate how hard it is to lose weight when it goes on so easily.

Kemie · 28/08/2013 21:42

leezl and vj I also love slimming world after loosing 3 and a half stone! Now just trying to keep it off. At least I have plenty of belly skin for a baby to grow in to, if only I could get pg!

SuzB83 · 28/08/2013 21:44

Deal onelife! Fri it is! I almost cracked today too had to really talk myself out of it. Driving myself nuts symptom spotting though
