I'm starting to get comments too. At last weigh-in, I was 111lbs, down from 130lbs. It doesn't sound like much, but the difference when you look at me is striking - all of my clothes are falling off of me, and my normally tubby tummy is flat. I noticed a friend eyeballing me today because I was wearing a fitted tank top. I'm just worried people are going to think I have an eating disorder!

I tell people I am training for a Marathon... no one has to know the turth!

Ok kadies..today I have had:
Breakfast: nothing
Lunch: rasberries with equal and 2 slice low cal/low salt bread
Snack: no salt rice cake
Dinner: calcium pasta, green beans and lil parm
Drinks: normal tons of dasani water with CL, diet caffiene free pepsi

Lol, purple, my friends and family would never believe that of me!!!

That's great, Emmy, are you doing ig diet?

Me neither! I have a long history of laziness and gluttony, so it's hard to find an excuse that people will believe!

That's AWESOME!!! When I lost the 20+ lbs. last summer, it came off so fast and b/c of that I was still thinking I was still that weight in my head until I would try to wear my old clothes. I agree w/Purple...make something up like that b/c no one has to know. It just sucks that most of us have to sneak around when we're w/family or friends. Hopefully that'll end soon b/c we'll all have our BFPs...

I sooo want to join the "No Breakfast Club" but I just can't get there yet. Ok...here's my day:

1st Meal:
- 100% cranberry juice & psyllium husks
- decaf coffee and a splash of rice milk

2nd Meal:
- white basmati w/leeks and zucchini
- rice cakes w/hummus

3rd Meal:
- frozen raspberry, strawberry, rice milk, psyllium husk smoothie
- fro-yo :wink:

I lost weight before each of my pregnancies but each time I'm pretty sure I was on the way up again because I told myself it really didn't matter if I was going to get fat and pregnant anyway! I don't know whether we'll go for it in August as planned if I haven't lost enough weight because I really want to get to around 150lb, which would be a 40lb loss in total and the lowest I can remember weighing since my late teens. On the other hand, I plan to do a lot to sway pink and therefore lower my chances of even getting pregnant to begin with so perhaps we shouldn't wait until I get to where I ultimately want to be given that it might take us a few months. I'm hoping Atomic will have some helpful advice on this :D

Here's my take on things...YES, YES, YES your weightloss will sway...You're both doing great. I think what really matters is that you have the downward trend going on and you keep that trend while you conceive (and the 2ww) b/c your body is going to think you're continuing to go down and will be better off popping a girl out than a boy. It's going to think, "HOLY *$%&...when is this girl going to eat something!?! Doesn't appear to be anytime soon...better make a girl." I think it's really important that you hit it hard in the week or so before you O and keep it going but of course I think you guys are hitting it hard weeks (months in your case, Zanacal) in advance which is super. I'm sure Atomic would have very interesting things to say.

I agree with OotB...ANY weight loss sways!
