Losing too much weight-any advice?

This will be really hard for me, since TTC in itself, esp. under my circumstances/age seems like a huge/unattainable goal-will have good think there...am trying to table my other "projects" like trying to get out of the house, etc and work on trying to take all of it more one day at a time.

I was thinking that I would be putting back on fat, but that that might be a BAD thing for swaying pink, so thank you for clarifying that this would more likely sway pink than slowly and more consciencously putting on the weight: ergo muscle mass. I will try to put the lbs. on quickly during the 2WW while still skipping breakfast-I just lost the 2 I had put back on-agh!

Thanks for "weighing in!"

1) Don't fear the potatoes...think of Ireland!

2) I totally understand that but that is the number one reason why pink sways fail. Boy moms tend to be control freaks and that feeds the testosterone (by upping demand...your body will ~try~ to make ample amounts of testosterone if it thinks you need it to survive, even if you aren't providing it with the right building blocks to do it.) Now since you already HAVE daughters, this may be less of an issue for you than it is for someone like me.

3)Fat is MUCH better for pink than muscle. Interestingly, even when I lost weight with my sway for DS 4, I was still pretty muscley, but then I gained 70 lbs of preggo weight and then lost it and now I am a lot more pudge even at the same body weight. It could very well be the case that you'll actually have helped your sway a bit, but I don't advise people to do this deliberately because it's too risky.
