Are you exercising, and if so what and how much?

I am roughly about the same size normal weight too and also 5ft 6'' - I haven't dropped down to the 8stone+ mark yet, in low 9's and i am planning on being a lazy slob! Not much different to normal, but I work nights and running round after the kids all day and housework, so am going to try and do as little as poss! Started the diet at beginning of Jan and finding it ok. Cant stand the thought of lots of exercise, lol!!x

Ah the joy! I do two nights a week now, each 13hours, that's enough working for me thank you!

At 166lbs/5'4.5" , I can stand the opportunity to lose some weight before the next BFP!! I know that my work schedule is going to be busy, but I took less days of work in both March and April, so that I can run instead!! My boys are cool with me running and I hope to get some nice mellow outdoor runs come late March, early April attempt time.

Pixi....I will join you with the pizza come bfp time!!!!!!

I was really into Olympic style weightlifting and Crossfitting in general when I got pg with DS2. High intensity workouts at least 4 days a week, paleo diet...no woder I go a second boy with Shettles timing! With DS1 I'd just gotten married, working out, but not a ton, definitely eating more healthfully before the big day.

^^^nice!!!!

when I got ds 3I worked at a dog kennel doing mod intense exercise 4-5 days a week

I did work for several hours but I also ate like 5000 cals a day! my arms were like Serena Williams.

Atomic....do you think that on 1800-2000 cals per day with about 600 cals burned running is low enough for LE? I know that with both boys my eating ranged from 2000-4000 cals a day....and totally get your 5000 cals, strong arms deal!!!

Keeping in mind my pesky crystal ball is on the fritz, I do think that is enough PROVIDED that the 1800-2000 is low protein, low fat, and less than you were eating before.

I so wish one did have a crystal ball! Thanks so much for your input Atomic!!!!! I do plan on working my body hard so that it thinks time of trouble are upon us and it makes it more condusive for my little XX. My biggest challenge is to further reduce both protein and fat. Tonight I had a great 47 min run.....building up for my hours of cardio next month!!!!
