Half a stone lighter by September

[Natty1806]

Here we go girls no backing out now.

Sounds like you have been good this week so i think you will have done well.

Any preg symptoms to report????

Coggy - how was the weigh in?

Day 2 of no alc over. Thought I would start feeling all fresh and vivacious by now with all the toxins leaving my body. Am drinking water like it's going out of fashion. Instead just feeling knackered coz I'm not sleeping as not having a glass of wine to relax me!

The trials and tribulations of the constant dieter

Will prob take about a week for the alcohol to leave the system. HTe you should feel more energised.

I also think how much i would love a glass of wine or two in the evening but think it would be so hard giving up when i become pregnant that i don't bother so think you are doing the right thing by cutting it out now. Well done

Read yesterday that you should give up alc 4 mths before you TTC!!!! Flipping heck!

I found it easy to give up alc when I was pg (only for 8 weeks as m/c'd) - as beer tasted flat and all wine tasted like sweet vinegar. Was a big relief I can tell you as I was dreading having to "fight the urge", so not too worried about it should I get pg again TBH, but looks like I'll be "dry" for long enough before then at my current success rate!

That's true alot of people say they go off alcohol anyway - maybe we should get 9 months worth it now. LOL

.....no i must be good, i must be good, i must be good.

x

we will be good, we will be good - well at least until the weekend!

Very true.

Where's coggy???

Morning ladies, did something naughty, weighed at home before my class tonight. Scales said I'd lost 1 1/4 but we'll see tonight. Have not really got into it yet. Me too Andi, 2 nights off the booze but the resolve is not really there it is just because I don't feel well (though it doesn't usually stop me).

I read in a book that you should not drink spirits whislt TTC as the alcohol gets into your blood far quicker than wine. I have not given up on the gin yet (Mother's ruin!) but think I shall very shortly.

Will let you know how I get on tonight.

SOunding good. Good luck

hiya all

weighed this morning and have lost another lb, that's 6 lb since I started dieting - if I can lose one more by the end of the week I will have lost half a stone.

Couldn't go swimming yesterday as af came grr but went on the cross and again this morning but only did 17 minutes as ds was tormenting the dogs and I had to go and shout at him.

Am lucky in terms of alcohol as I don't drink at all - no moral reasoning behind that though, I just don't like the taste, and although there are some I've learned to like the fact I haven't drank all my life means I simply can't tolerate it and feel ill very quickly after.

Well done

Well done, wannaBe1974, that's fab. My sister doesn't like booze either! But she makes up for it with chocolate, she's addicted. That said, she's really thin and has always been even though she has 2 kids under 3.

I'm here.......I'm here........I'M HERE!!!!!!!

I've never lost this much in my life!!!!
FOUR AND A HALF POUNDS!!!!!!!!

Whoooohoooooo!
Down to 11stone 7 1/2 now.....

Excellent coggy - keep it up you must have been very good this week.

Exceptional!!!

Got invited to a curry and champagne evening and only had a sniff of it!!!

Don't know if it's possible to last another whole week!!!

Coggy, I am seriously impressed! Must stick to the plan next week and see if I can do that. 1 1/2 hours till weigh in!

Way to go Coggy - an example to us all (as always )

Well done to you too Wannabe.

Good luck for tonight MrsMJ, but sounds like you'll get good news judging from your weigh in cheat!!

At the rate I'm going (wrong way up the scales) I'll be happy to maintain my present weight!!!!

Thanks......I couldn't quite believe it!!

I have been so bad the past few months and thought it would take me AGES to get anywhere....especially as AF is due tomorrow and I normally weigh more then!!!

Hope you get a fab result tonight too MrsMc.

My scales have been going the wrong way for a long time Angsthase!! It's about time I got a grip and started going down!!!

Well done everyone- esp you coggy- that r conley diet is really doing it for you isn't it?
is it true that you should give up alc 4 mths prior to ttc? ooops...i still have the odd tipple i'm afraid, but nothing lke the bridget jones i used to be!!
I'm dieting alone at the mo- cal counting and it's working. started sunday and have lost 2 pounds- cracking or what?

please bear in mind you may not be able to post freely here in future

Pardon??!!!

Well done Andi - that's really good on your own...lots of us on here are doing their own thing but I'm just not very well motivated and need someone to tell me off if I don't make an effort I've decided!!!

The RC diet seems to be good for me but I've had a disaster with one or two of the suggested recipes!!!!

Ideally you should be changing you life for 3 months prior to conceiving but...as I am the queen of lack-of-self-control that didn't happen in our house!!!

I started off fairly well...organic fruit and veg, multi vits etc but as time went on (and on) I just got fed up with being 'good' and went back to normal!!! Feel pg in the end and then was good from then on!!!!

Back on the vits and organics now.......good for ttc and diet!!

...well fairly good......I just sounded a bit like I was Saint Coggy when I was pg!!!

I did treat myself as well......eating for two etc......!!

What's that all about???? Have we broken a rule?

3rd alc free night, starting to feel like Saint Angsthase myself , but it will all go to pot when (if) I get to Germany! Lucky me going to an airport today. Should be great fun, not!

That's on a lot of threads....

I hope you get your flight okay

Hey and hello ladies, I lost 2 ½ pounds! Shock, horror, delight and how on earth did I do that?! I had all my excuses ready but buttoned my lip. I think it was beginner, slimmer luck and so I am going to be so good this week (if I can). I too have now had 3 alcohol free nights, can I do another? Course I can!!

Well done Andi0411, what a great start.
