Any July/August/Sept 2014 Swayers?

Hate it when they're poorly. I'm feeling under the weather today myself. Just achy all over. Hope I'm not getting flu or something!

kasey - I had huge issues with weight loss while breastfeeding as well. I don't really have any advice, just offering sympathy! I think breastfeeding sways pink anyways, so I wouldn't worry as much about weight loss for swaying purposes in your case.

Finally O'd this month. I'm 5DPO and SO excited for AF to come, even though she'll be here over the 4th. I have longer cycles (I usually O CD21-23) and sometimes the waiting makes me so impatient. It's just gonna get worse when we're TTC! After this AF, there's only ONE more before we start TTC. I am so. excited.

I decided not to purchase a plan from Atomic and am going it alone. I have been taking supplements since the beginning of May and have a TON of CM now. I had a good amount before, but now it's like... a LOT. TMI sorry haha. I figured if we don't get our boy this time I'll buy a plan next time We want one of each- a boy and a girl- so if we get a girl first it's alright. Either way, we're buying a plan for sure next time to increase our odds. Looking at the LE diet and girl plan, I'm really NOT looking forward to swaying pink!!

I'm easing slowly into the diet and adding a couple different foods at a time. Luckily with the boy sway, you don't have to be on the diet as long before TTC. I'm a distance runner, so I've also dramatically reduced my miles and added more days of strength training. Since I can't run much now, I've been looking at jogging strollers online- it reminds me that I'll have a LO to run with as a result of abstaining now

As for supplements- I eat a teaspoon of royal jelly in the morning & before bed, and I take a prenatal, probiotic, lots of extra folic acid, green tea af-o, evening primrose oil af-o, vitamin c, vitamin d, iron every other day (stopping that after this bottle is done). H is also taking supplements as well as eating whatever I do since I make all the food He's taking fish oil, L-arginine, and zinc right now. We'll be adding CoQ10 soon.

Anyway, I am getting so pumped to start TTC. I'm readyyyyy!

Holy novel, batman!

I will definitely give it a try Babybeaublue. Really I am frustrated because I don't want to get pregnant with baby weight still on, and then have 20 lbs to lose after the next baby instead of the 10. Sigh. It is so frustrating when you do spin for an hour, 3 times a week, your butt hurts and you can barely walk and you don't lose one lb in a week.

The only thing is that low intensity steady state cardio is used to burn fat but hold on to muscle. If you don't have much muscle then go for it! Also try hiit it's hard going but u don't have to do it for as long as normal high intensity cardio.

kasey - I can second what BBB said about the working out on the empty stomach. I'm not sure how well it would work while BF, but I can say I wasn't losing weight on the diet and then when I switched to running early in the morning during my fasting period I started dropping weight relatively quickly.

LMAO I thought it was just my bike. I even bought a padded seat thinking it may help, it makes me feel better that spinning makes everyone's butt hurt. I've been doing 60+ minutes 5 days a week, before this last loss I was losing about a lb a week doing that just 2-3 times a week, yet now I've lost 0- nothing in 2 weeks of the 5 day... kind of defeating.

My temp also bizarrely rose today at CD9, I just stopped bleeding from my first AF after the loss and I did have some EWCm mixed with the spotting yesterday, but damn that's an early O if this temp shift holds. I was looking on the bright side thinking my cycles didn't get too messed up, apparently I jinxed it.

Hope you don't mind me asking unwirklich, but how long did it take your af to start again?

I lost 1.5 kg in about 8 days.
If I keep it this way, then I will loose too much weight for my hight...1.78(62kg currently)....Atomic said I should be under BMI 18.5, which means 58 kg...(my ideal weight).
Until August is a long way...
