Hello, this is a follow on from the half stone for September thread! Natty and I decided it was time to re-think our goals!!

Hi Girls, just thought I'd drop in to wish you luck with your weigh ins.

Just thought I'd let you know what the diet of a first trimester girly looks like: chip butties, lots of toast, crisp sandwiches whenever the mood takes me, generally lots of fatty creamy food to keep off the nausea. Oh yes and water, water and more water.

Fully expect to have put on a stone by the end of the first trimester.

MrsMJ - jump up onto the wagon, there's plenty of room and I've got some lovely prune juice to sip on - did I mention one of the other side effects!

Juicy....yummmmmmmmmmmm and yuck!!!!!

JL2 - so glad you are enjoying yourself, budge up and I'll come for a spin, you can keep the prune juice though YUCK!! How are you feeling and is it all odd?

Natty - I think you're right, I'll make a bug effort to write everything down.

Just knackered all the time with occasional bouts of hunger / nausea.

All abit strange really.

But definately enjoying the chip butties {grin]

Juicylucythe2nd · 18/10/2006 16:27

errr

Natty1806 · 18/10/2006 17:55

mmmmmmmmm i can't wait to start that diet, will give the juice a miss though.

A stone is it not only meant to be 3lbs? I bet it is only 3lbs if you have really bad m/s and can't eat anything.

Thats for wishing us luck.

Let us know how you get on Mrs and coggy. x

coggy · 18/10/2006 19:01

Don't ask me.....

I have been bad.............

......I didn't go.......

.....I am ashamed.........

.....but I was scared!!

indignatio · 18/10/2006 19:03

coggy
Is there still time to go ?

Natty1806 · 18/10/2006 19:22

Tut tut coggy is that the end of RC?

Maybe you could just weigh at home.

coggy · 18/10/2006 21:36

indignatio...no it's at 10 am!!!!
Had the dentist at 9.10 so it would have been pushing it anyway this morning but I could have made a bit more of an effort if I'd wanted too!!!

Natty...I'm like someone who tidies up before their cleaner comes!!!
I want to lose a couple of pounds before I go back!!!
Am I completely mad do you think???!!!!

Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 07:24

I thought you had stayed the same though?

coggy · 19/10/2006 08:29

I have stayed the same on my scales...........naked.

The worrying thing is that I have to wear clothes when I weigh-in at class!!!

(Slightly cheaty I know!!!! But it made me feel better!!!!!)

Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 10:01

Oh well extra good this week then and back to class next week as there will only be 8 weeks til Christmas - how much more you gotta lose? x

MrsMcJnr · 19/10/2006 11:56

Hello stayed the same but do feel more motivated and have written everything down so far today. I still have 24 1/2 pounds to lose. If I can even lose 8.5 before Xmas (that would make me 11 stone) I would be happy but if I could lose double that, and be 10 st 5.5 - I'd be ecstatic.

Natty - if you think I am falling back into my bad ways, can you give me a kick?!

Coggy - we'll get there together!

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 12:22

Here is a big kick from me.

You must try and do some more exercise if you want to lose a few extra pounds, i know books etc say when ttc just do walking and swimming, which are fine but i really think you need to get that heart pumping and slightly out of breath for it to have a benefit.

So please aim to go on your stepper 3 times a week for 30 mins, you can try other things like skipping, star jumps having a little dance to music.

Come on we can do it . xxxxx

Thanks Natty - you are right, I must do some more exercise I will put a line on my chart for Puff Exercise and you can check on me

Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 16:44

Good girl.

coggy · 19/10/2006 19:31

I was thinking of putting on a line for 'puff' exercise and another for abs......there what I need the most....also like your idea about the alcohol line too.

I lost 11.5 pounds and think I had 10.5 to go.......dangerous that halfway stage....you think you're winning and then go to pot!!!

indignatio · 20/10/2006 07:34

Ok signing in for this week's weigh in. Lost 1.25lbs - so could be better but still heading in the right direction. I like the idea of a pedometer - where would I get one from ?

Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 07:37

Well done id

Coggy - yeah put a line in and then i can check up on you. x

Mrs- read on another thread you were having a bad day yesterday hope you are feeling better today. x

I lost 1.5 pounds. 6.5 to go.

coggy · 20/10/2006 08:51

Well done indignatio and Natty....good losses.

I like the idea of being checked up on....that's why I need to go to class!!
I will definitely do that next cycle.

My scales say I've stayed the same....think they must be dodogy although I have been better this past few days and had no alcohol for a few days....maybe just evened things out in time for this morning's weigh-in.

Tesco order arrived so should be easier to do healthier meals this week.........

Tell me...I MUST go to class next week!!!

coggy · 20/10/2006 08:51

dodgy...............I mean!!

coggy · 20/10/2006 08:57

MrsMc.......hope you feel better today too...just read your posts.

Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 09:20

Well done for staying the same.

Yes you must go back to class on Wednesday, will remind you every now and then just in case you are being naughty.

Juicylucythe2nd · 20/10/2006 09:27
