TTC March/April/May 2015?

[weeziewoozles]

Sending you all positive vibes :-) Life's tough sometimes. My mum is really ill at the moment so everything seems way harder than usual. I've stuck pretty well to LE but with a tolerance for what's going on. I.E. I've had to have a few takeaways while going to and from the hospital but I've chosen to eat mostly LE foods. Try and relax knowing that there's no magic formula. We're just trying to persuade our bodies that our circumstances have changed really. Fingers crossed everyone x

I'm with you, momamaia. Been hit with a nasty flu and had to stop exercise. Bah! I'm having a terrible time losing any weight at all...and I have plenty to lose. I lost about 20lbs on the LE diet last year while swaying, but after being pregnant for almost 5 months last year with my mcs, I've gained all of of that back...and then some! The super low cal diet killed my metabolism and I just can't seem to lose anything now.

And I'm still waiting on a regular period before I can ttc...waiting...waiting...sigh.

I'm so sorry about your mom, weezie! I hope she gets better soon! That's true about the change in circumstances and my body definitely seems to realize that something is up. I've been so hormonal! How about you?

girlie, I'm crossing my fingers for you that you get your period soon! How many times has someone told you that? LOL! Have you tried doing LE the pcos way? Maybe that would help to jump start your metabolism?

Af finally came! Yaaaaaay! Never been so glad so see her in my life. Lol! So glad. we may even try this cycle if my appointment with midwife on monday goes well.

Yep, I'm on the PCOS version right now. I'm sure it would work to lose weight eventually...it's just frustrating that it's not working right NOW, you know? I'm so impatient. I had really hoped to be on the losing streak by the time we TTCed, but I'm not sure it's going to pan out that way. Trying not to get all Martha over it thought. ("trying" is the keyword. hehe)

Sorry, i am new to navigating this site, so i forgot i posted in here lol... I eat anywhere from 1200-1800 cal. Depends on if i am hungrier that day or not. Generally i will leave breakfast for 2-3hrs after i get up and i will have 2 scrambled eggs with mushrooms and one piece of multigrain toast, and a cup of tea. Lunch is usually 2 salad wraps (with or without a sprinkling of chicken) and some dressing, or 2 english muffins with cheese spread, with 2 lite cruskits or noodles and dinner is either pasta or a chicken dish and veg. If i have had chicken for lunch i will go sparingly at dinner, but it also depends on how much protein i have left in the days macros. I generally will have another cup of tea at some other time during the day as well. There are times where i will have a couple of sweet biscuits with my tea if i am low in calories and not really hungry. So far i am new to this, so still trying to work out what fits best and sways girl so it may not be a perfect girl diet at this stage, although i am trying to follow the pcos version

Yay, girlie!!! That's so exciting!! I am waiting for AF also. Hopefully, it'll happen in the next day or two. FX!

Hey Mum4life! No worries. I think it sounds like you're doing well. I'm doing the pcos version also. It takes a bit to figure it all out. When I first started, I messaged a list of my meals over to atomic for approval, lol! I was totally freaked out about messing something up. Of course, she told me not to worry and that my meals looked perfect. My meals are pretty similar to yours.

I finally was able to jump back on the exercising bandwagon tonight and it felt great! I am so much more confident in our sway again. I'm feeling so much better and am starting to mentally prepare for the surgery. I'm going to call my RE's office just to give them a heads up about my recent illness and hope they don't want to push it out.

I need to do the cardio, but my only option is walking and it is so stupidly hot here atm (i'm in australia and its the middle of summer). I have lupus so even if i go outing it for an hour i will get a flare, so not sure what else i am supposed to do atm. I'd love to see the meals you are preparing so i can get a bit more an idea of what i am supposed to do lol

Hi Ladies,

I have just started posting again after my sucessful boy sway in 2013. We are going to start TTC in May and trying for pink this time as I would love DD to have a sister. I realized during my blue sway that I am a total martha type and I loved the boy diet ( not to different to my normal diet, just a few more snacks and keeping my protein up.

I am a vegetarian and I was on a diet and exercising a lot when I concieved my DD who was an unplanned OHW, J&D. So an unknown girl sway.

Looking forward to chatting with you ladies over the next few months and fingers crossed into the due date buddies group.
