Thread: losing weigh

    losing weigh

    Hi Atomic,
    Question - i started to go vegetarian about a month ago and 60 min walking/running and my weight flew off - lost ~ 5lbs (about 115lb, petite in height) now. I don't have too much more weigh to lose maybe another 3-4lbs and was thinking of TTC in June. I want to continue to do cardo 6x/week at 60min. Anything to curb the weigh lose? Maybe continue vegetarian diet but incorporate some beans and things? I eat tofu, seitan and other things so protein should be ok. And I drink coco water so potassium is ok. (I just ate a brownie!) Thoughts?

    For me, every time weight flies off while exercising, it means I need to count my calories. You can totally exercise and still get the benefits from it, without losing weight.

    I would make sure you are getting 1600-1800 calories, fat 30-50g, and protein 40-50g. Also, if you're only eating twice a day, you may need to add another small meal somewhere to maintain your weight. You will probably only need to track for a few days before you get the hang of where you need to be.

    Great job! You're doing fantastic- keep up the good work!!

    I would up cals to 2000 but not increase fat or protein. If you end up gaining weight at 2000cals you can always decrease them later.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period
