This is weird. I gained weight REALLY quickly after my BFP - 13 lbs in less than 2 months. I also had quite a belly developing - not a baby belly yet, but just flab and bloating. Now, only 2 days after my m/c, I've already lost 5 lbs and my belly is completely gone. I've gone from wearing loose tops and hoodies to hide my belly to wearing my size XS shirts again. Maybe it's the sudden elimination of salt from my diet and the resulting loss of water weight? At least I'll be able to get a little more use out of my size 0 stuff before I start gaining weight again, cause I'm sure I'll never be this skinny again.

Mocha, that's really cool! :agree: WOO_HOO!!! You are off to a great start...infact you're there already, I think! I only lost 2-3 lbs after my m/c and I didn't really eat for a wk but my weight just stayed the same for the most part. I am not as skinny as you (and was never a size 0!!!) but I do fit into my size 26 jeans. If I lose more weight, great! But if not, I just want to be preg w/a healthy bean this time. Yesterday, it was tough but I stuck to the limits. I'm already ready to eat again, and I just started the diet again, lol!!!

Thanks, Jen. I figure I'm good to go regardless of whether or not I lose more weight, since I'm now at 118 lbs and I was 128 when conceiving all my other kids. I don't really want to get back down to 109 again like I did last time I was TTC - I think I was so skinny it was making it harder to get pregnant.
-
Yeah...you were super-skinny!!! All you need to do now is O, girl!!! I was 20+ lbs heavier w/my boys so I'm not too concerned. I'll try hard to go no higher than a size 27 durning/after pregnancy, but won't be bothered to go lower. Come, on, AF, I want my next O!!!

Last night I had one more big clot come out (sorry for the TMI) that contained lots of grey tissue - I'm fairly sure that was my baby's sac they saw on the u/s the other day. Hopefully that means my uterus is clear now and I'll stop bleeding soon. I'm definitely going to start monitoring for O and I just might take a chance and try for it (though I may panic and decide I should wait until after af arrives). It would be soooooo nice to be done with the diet by Christmas!
-
Oh, Mocha...I'm so sorry! :HH: I'm glad your body is doing what it needs to do. Yeah...Christmas is going to SUCK diet-wise so I'm hoping I get a BFP before or on Christmas...That would be such a wonderful gift! You may O in 3wks or so (especially w/the Vitex!) so your BFP could be your Christmas prezzie too!!! I so hope so! FX for both of us!!!

Ok, I need to get back into sharing my food for the day to keep myself accountable. I had a lot of cheats over the weekend while my Mom was visiting, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
7am: coffee
12pm: spinach salad with chopped egg (atomic suggested this to increase my iron levels) and balsamic vinegar, 2 Peek Freans Lifestyles (sugar free) cookies for dessert
5:30pm: 1.5 servings pasta with pureed butternut squash and parmesan, a small serving of my kids' caprese salad (this tipped me over the edge with protein for the day), 2 more sugar free cookies for dessert
8:30pm: grapes, a glass of wine and Sour Patch Kids (very elegant, I know)
Calories: 1465
Protein: 49.5g (I'm ok with this - I think this time around I'm going to let myself eat up to 50g)

Wow...feels like old times...logging food again w/you! So glad you were able to get a nice visit w/your Mom, Mocha!
- Coffee w/a bit of rice milk
- BIG salad, little bit of dressing, big bowl of air-popped popcorn
- BIG salad, little bit of dressing, Raspberry/Fiber/Rice milk smoothie, 2 packages of Trader Joe's Seaweed (it's kinda my vice lately...:oops:)
That was yesterday's...Today will be similar. I'm really into my salads but still searching for flavorful, yet girl-sway worthy dressings. I found a really great one a while back but it had Sodium Benzoate in it (I don't touch that stuff) so it's a no-go.
-
Yes, it does feel like old times, Jen! :bigsmile:
Luckily I love balsamic vinegar so much that I'm happy with just that on my salads.
I'm going to visit my Mom this weekend, so I'll have to cheat a bit. I'm going to try to at least stay vegetarian, but as I said before I really don't want to worry her that I'm not taking care of myself properly after my m/c.
