Brand sparkly (pink) new diet thread for GIRL sways!

I can't buy anything yet. I don't want to get my DH's hopes up anymore than he already is.

I've been good with the diet since I've ovulated. Progesterone has ramped up my appetite, so I've budgeted 200 extra calories a day to prevent me from eating everything in sight or to prevent me from snacking. So far it's working!

I hope to see some more BFPs out of this group! I'm looking forward to following your journey's!

Also looking forward to following everyone's journeys and seeing all the BFPs :) when is everyone attempting? We are having a shot in September all being well!
I have walked over 11,000 steps today and still have an hour of exercise to go later. Finding the more I do the more I want to do although I think that's my boy Mum personality talking lol. 3s a charm maybe message atomic to ask if she has some gluten free LE diet ideas? Xx

I've made a secret FB group if anyone would like to join please send a pm and I will add you xx

We are attempting next week. I'm sooo nervous. Will be taking Clomid starting tomorrow and five days in a row and then trigger. Hopefully we'll catch a golden egg. Have been exersicing and doing LE for 4,5 months now so think I am ready to go. Really good idea with the FB-group. Will PM you.

Attempting in June, but it was suppose to be March, then pushed back until April then may and now June. So who knows, I will avoid attempting in July as I already have two April births and don't want a third. I really think I need to get on with it as am older but I keep thinking my sway could be better, definitely need to try in June because getting fed up a bit with the exercise! Mulberry smurf I will pm you, could you add me to the fb group, thanks!

Good luck for Next week dream sister!! Hope all goes to plan that's an excellent length of time on the sway!
Hope that June works out for you girlie please xx

Hi All

Hope you're all well! I have been absent for a bit this last week or so, have been feeling a bit demotivated and demoralised about my lack of weight loss but managed to keep up with the exercise side of things. Diet has been a bit iffy, probably the cause of the weight loss halt! Still haven't had any meat or breakfast, maybe a nibble of a couple of bit of dry cereal, but not proper breakfast! And snacking has been 95% there. Have definitely been consuming too many treats though to try and make myself feel better about things! I just find that after not having much in the day I am so hungry in the evenings and find it hard to resist the cravings. I think it's a catch 22! If I was seeing some weight loss I could definitely resist no problem, but to see weight loss, I have to resist in the first place! I swear all the chocolate in the world has decided to call my name in chorus the last few days!

Ive just had a little sundried tomatoe and garlic cous cous. A white roll with cheese and tobasco sauce. A miniture angel cake and some chocolate. My AF is still around and i tend to CRAVE chocolate in abnormal amounts!!!

I've just had a cappuccino and scone ... Not great but quick and easy, feel like I've been ovulating all week!! Just picked up Sudafed from the chemist for my attempt nxt mth, it turns out ive had sinuses, runny nose all week(a sign maybe) so going to start taking them and hopefully helps my sway!

Hi all, feeling a bit stressed and annoyed. Thought I ovulated day 10 and then thought I had a bfp but it wasn't and now I'm ovulating and can't do an attempt as have been eating so bad and no exercise. And to make matters worse next month the week before my attempt we are possibly away so would be no exercise and crap food. So won't want to try then either :-(

Attempting in June or July. I just need to start doing cardio everyday. But im only going to do 6 weeks of it. Ive already been on the LE for longer than what i thought. Going in to my 4th month already! I seem to be adding a treat to my meals seeing as i only have two a day!!!!!

Mulberry - what is the secret group about? Or is it a secret? :)

I know they saw peppermint tea sways pink..I can't stand the taste, more tolerate cold diluted with water and some Splenda, but I have found adding some raspberry leaf tea with it really helps me like the flavor. Raspberry tea is girl friendly correct??

So I am trying to get my calories up to 1800 and fat up to 55g and protein to 45g. I must say its a bit of a challenge to satisfy all these limits simultaneously.

Today I had my first meal at 2pm (I had a late dinner so this was necessary for me I felt) I ate..... A tortilla wrap with Vegan cheese (yes I have switched and its gross BUT I love cheese so Its better than NO cheese! I will deal with it.) I also put on the wrap roasted veggies, and falafel bites. I also had a soup and hummus with crackers and a pear without the skin.

This all came to.... 850 calories, 22g of protein, and 25g of fat.

a few Questions.....
1) I know salt doesn't sway but what is a reasonable range to stay in?
2) Will spices affect my sway?
3) And you ladies always mention having salads.... what do you put in your salads?

I wouldn't worry about salt at all. The normal healthy guidelines are 2400mg a day, and I rarely exceed that. I don't add much extra salt to things though.

Spices are fine. Don't worry about it. Season away!

Anything! I add MorningStar veggie crumbles to most salads- it's a meat substitute. I have lately been loving the Asian chopped salad that is prepackaged by Dole. It's SO yummy!! I also have a mixed green salad with spinach (all fresh from my garden!) with sautéed mushrooms tomato and veggie crumbles.

I agree, salt is last on the list to worry about. I quite like a salad with a few Parmasan cheese shavings. I think ranch dressing is OK, I tend to just use a little of whatever dressing I like or even light salad cream otherwise I can't eat it

Oh no chocolate, do you think you o'd twice or just a delayed o? Can you not try again with added sway tactics? X

I think it was delayed. Think I've had a temperature rise this evening so will know in am but think I actually ovulated today and wasn't happy trying again as I haven't done the diet etc. As I'd have liked too.
Back on it though and will have to just try next cycle, at least I know not to trust the first positive opk next cycle and stick at the diet just in case! :-)

I'm sorry it was not your month chocolate

You can get pink salt which is iodised or something and that's meant to be good for pink sways.
I've had curry and rice for dinner, noodles for lunch and diet coke instead of coffee today. Xx

Aw no chocolate so sorry to hear that :( you can do steps easily for your cardio when away and maybe just stick to no breakfast, no meat and no snacks for then? Xx

I'll see what happens, guess I can always see if there is a local gym close by and sneak off for an hour :-)

I had a lovely green Salad with feta cheese (hope it's allowed), mixed seeds and fish cakes (again!!!) ... And an ice Lolly after, now having a small bowl of frozen yoghurt because my belly is rumbling :-)

Today I had salad, cous cous and a slice of white bread for first meal, gallon of diet coke. Second meal was some oven chips, veggie burger and onion rings, more gallons of coke. Probably the dinner is all wrong but least no meat or snacking! Well done everyone! Annoying about the late O chocolate but if your out this cycle am happy that we are attempting together next month! I think am ovulating early since started on diet and exercise, is that possible? Usually day 14/15 but last month day 12 and it is day 11 of my cycle this month and I think am gearing up for o? This happen anyone else?

That will be good we can be ttc buddies :-) I thought I was ovulating about day 12 before this cycle, maybe me stressing and worrying delayed mine till day 18 this month. I'd just say keep an eye out and try to stick at the diet and exercise even after you think you have ovulated just in case X

Glad to hear you're sounding a bit more positive chocolate x

I think going to the gym actually helped me feel positive again, maybe this plan is sort of good for us ;-)

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

is diet coke better to have than sprite zero? Or do they both have a good amount of caffeine and aspartame?

Sprite is caffeine free. Both have aspartame.

dammit. okay lol thanks haha

So I had my first attempt last night!!! I only had 2 rice cakes at lunchtime, no snacks or breakfast, then didn't have dinner until about 8.30pm which was grilled veggies and some halloumi, followed by a little frosting free cupcake that DS1 and I made yesterday afternoon and 3 sugar free sweets. Drowned myself in diet coke as well all day with a couple of pep teas and coffees thrown in for good measure!

Sounds like a great attempt :-) Keep it up today, when do you think ovulation is?

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Well I don't temp, just use OPKs and my first peak was yesterday am. I did an OPK this morning just out of curiosity, random!, and it was back down to low. I don't know if this is normal or not?! But judging by EWCM (sorry TMI) going on previous months, it should due in a couple of days. But I don't really know if that's the way to tell or not! I sound completely clueless!

I use opks but cheapies and they go positive with fmu and then half colour the next day. Although my false ovulation I o ly had 1 day of positives but my proper one I had 2 days and much darker than control line. My ewcm didn't go away between my false ovulation and proper one, but it has dried up after my proper ovulation

Good luck davesig!! Hope that you get your BFP this month :) xx

Just had a nice cheesy bowl of pasta! Followed by chocolate!!
Am i seriously the only one here who has chocolate after a meal!! I just cannot give up on my cheese and chocolate!!

NEW Cadbury's dairy milk MEDLEY chocolate bar i hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad::mad:

Haha squiggle! I had some 70% chocolate last night after my evening meal as I was still not satiated and it was the only thing in my work bag! Did the trick!

I've had a (gluten free!!!) crumpet with a little cheese on, humous with carrots, cucumber, pepper, and cherry toms followed by some banana custard flavoured yogurt and two small gluten free cookies with a milky coffee, mmmmm! Thoroughly enjoyed!x

I find not having something sweet torture!! I had a wholemeal roll with a little low fat grated cheese, pickle and tomato, a bag of hula hoops and an apple. Also a bag of light pop crisps at the gym, and a McDonald's honeycomb frape which was so good but not exactly in my plan! Will just have 2 baked rolls with a little Parmasan cheese for tea and then do my exercise. And a glass if wine after so actually I'm OK for my target numbers but don't want to make a habit of a frape and crisps! However 1dpo and Im thinking it's best to have a little of something like or I'll binge later!

Banana custard flavoured yoghurt sounds nice! I've ordered some low fat weight watchers toffee yoghurts for next week and going to start having some part baked roll with a little light marg. As I quite like those

On LE diet I have started a habit of cheewing sugarfree gum. Is this bad and is this considered snacking? Stimerol sugarfree gum has around 3 kcals in it/piece.

It can chew a lot of pieces during the day. I hope I am not ruining my sway.
