I am doing something right with the boy diet....I have gained more inches/weight than wanted

[Flava]

You're right when you say we're all different! Eating alot probably doesn't come naturally to you (sorry if I'm wrong, just guessing!) whereas I can eat until the cows come home

lol you are so funny
you right I don't eat much normaly. I don't even like to eat lol If I don't ttc I eat like 1 joghurt and that's it for lunch so now all this food is killing me.

(that's why I read sometimes about weight loss plan and I see all the food they have to eat Im like wth??? I would put on weight for sure if I have to eat all that lol)

I am normally a big eater with a high metabolism, and high activity. Before TTCing I ate 3 balanced meals a day, + sugar, and no snacks.

Now I eat a snack right when I get up, eat breakfast with the children, snack then lunch, snack then dinner, snack and bed.

Snacks: Lara bars, nuts and dried fruit, bananas, apples, gelatin, fruit juice, or boiled eggs.
Breakfast: oatmeal w/ PB, eggs with WW toast, banana & boiled eggs, or WW pancakes
Lunch: Turkey hotdogs (no nitrates), chicken salad sandwich on WW bread, pasta w/ tomatoes and peppers, or left overs from dinner.
Dinner: Spagetti w/ tomato pasta sauce, meat loaf, tacos, chicken fried steak,......pretty much meat and a large variety of veggies including potatoes.

All of the whole wheat bread and pancakes we have are homemade with wheat I grind in my grain mill. It don't get any more "whole" than what I make.

I thought doing the weights would be enough to keep weight gain at bay, but I guess not. So......

Does anyone think doing weights on a mini trampoline is a good/bad idea? Too much impact for the 2WW?


Sorry you are going threw the same thing Flava, but I am glad I am not alone.

Awesome about grinding your own wheat, WP! That is amazing! Your diet sounds good, very much like mine. Unfortunately, I used to eat a lot more fattening stuff when on IG, but I still gain from putting too many calories in my mouth.

I am a little worried about putting on too much weight as well. I am 103 pounds at the moment so even adding a few pounds is going to be noticeable. I have put on 2 pounds in the last 2 months which I am assuming is due to starting weights. Anyway fingers crossed we don't have to be on the diet for too long!

[WashingtonPromise]

Wow, 103!!! How tall are you guys?

[LolaInLove]

See, I'm 5'7" so my ideal body weight is 135, which I've weighed since high school. I've been told by trainers that your ideal body weight (women) is 100lbs plus 5lbs for every inch over 5' you are. So if you are only 5' tall, 100lbs is right. If you are 5'8" and weigh 100lbs, you are a supermodel and don't eat. LOL

And WP, I second Begonia in saying that it's ok to exercise in 2ww, just nothing new. I was always doing a ton of cardio, like crazy jumping around and stuff, and did it everyday in my 2ww with my girls, as I didn't know I was pg. Amazing they didn't shake right out of me. I guess if your bean is going to stick, it's going to stick come hell or high water.

That really wouldn't apply to me! I'm 5'6" and would look ill at 130lb - 145lb would be really good for me and probably a little too thin. I'm big boned though, I can never get a watch to go round my wrist!

I hear ya! Everyone is different for sure. And bones do weigh more!

[zanacal]

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of other stuff (fat!) which shouldn't be there too

[Plum3]

I'm 5'2". My BMI is in the lower range of normal so I still consider myself to be a healthy weight.
