Woops, forgot to say, I lost 3.5lb this weeks so that makes 25lb in total now

What my days will look like until O, around July 30th!

7 & 9am - 2 cups of coffee w/aspartame and coffeemate
11 am - Aspartame oatmeal
11 to 5 pm - 1/2 gallon of crystal light and 2 diet sodas, keeps me from snacking
6pm - plain noodles with veggies w/ some type of hot pepper spice

I have more weight to loose and not much time to do it... can't go for walks lately the thunder storms have started and I have an extreme fear of being hit by lightning again. So I have been doing 4 30min workouts with video's, and only 15 more lbs to loose.

No meat until I O, getting protein from none meat source... 4-6oz of meat after O... and praying for a BFP around Aug 10-15th and a big fat juice steak to make announcement to hubby!

swish ~ I am done to 110 lbs... do you know what the weight is suppose to be that I will not hurt my chances of becoming pregnant?

Hi everyone!
Happyheart, I think it's to do with bmi, maybe start a thread and someone will probably know, I'd love o know the answer too although I suspect it's different for each individual
Zani, what a day!!!!! I think you hav done very well not to have had a huge bar of chocolate!!!! Pleased your job is ok and great weight loss!!!!!
I'm going to get to waitrose when I can, food bill's already up with this swaying, why not send it up a bit more!!!

I think today I didn´t risk to get not enough calories couldn´t stop eating at dinner. I had
decaf skimmed latte at 10.30
iceberg lettuce salad and GF pasta with oil and sirup for lunch, one kiwi, activia yoghurt
for dinner leeks and courgette rice, half a slice of Gouda cheese (was soo tastfull and salty), fat free yoghurt, 4 rice cakes with apple sirup and a piece of pie

That´s 1340 cal, 35 g protein, 25 g fat without the pie, it´s home made and I´m too lazy to calculate all the ingredients.

Swish the dressing is a herbal dressing from Kraft, but I don´t know if you have it in UK. It´s basically water, vinegar, parsil, dill and concentrated leek juice (sorry don´t know how to translate that).

Happyheart I´m down at 105 and still ovulating, my cycle changed though.
My BMI is 17,6, this sounds really shocking to me, I really hope it will be for a very short time and I´ve managed to stay put at 105 now so that´s good.

I think your day sounds great Indira! You're doing fantastic too purple

Thanks swish - the tomato and mozzarella panini was much more of a treat to me than a bar of chocolate would be! It had 600mg of sodium in it but I hadn't had much earlier in the day so it didn't work out too badly - I think I could probably fit it in again for a treat. I considered only eating half but that would have been such a waste of money. I don't find the Waitrose basic range (whatever it's called) too expensive but it gets tricky down the wine aisle when there isn't anything under a fiver!

P and zanacal, great job on the weight loss!!! Keep it up! Zana, your day sounds completely crazy!!!

Swish and HappyHeart, thx so much for the support…It really means a lot. I know this is really tough for ALL of us! I think a lot of us are around 110 lbs…so crazy. I just dropped to 109 and I’m hoping I can keep it there until a BFP comes along. I know 4WildOnes got preggers and her BMI was like 17.3 or something crazy like that!!! I think it really depends on your body too as one BMI may be fine for one but for another it may be too low.

Indira – I’ll have to check out that dressing!!! Thx for the tip! I’m so done w/balsamic vinegar…BLAAAHHH Holy cow…you’re 105!!! That’s both cool and scary! I’m hoping you get a speedy BFP so you can eat all you want!!!


No brekkie…coffee w/rice milk
1st meal:
- White basmati w/leeks & zucchini
- Lots of chewy Sweet Tarts candies (I think they’re becoming an addiction…)
2nd Meal:
- Iceburg and romaine w/balsamic and goat cheese
- “Girl Sway” smoothie
- Yogurt

I was over on sodium and fat today but managed to keep everything else in check.

Congrats on the weight loss, zanacal!

I'm back from the wilds of Northern Ontario and ready to try to get back on track with the diet. Today we were on the road for 10 hours, so I wasn't able to keep 100% to the diet.

Breakfast: coffee
Lunch: fries, salad (we were at a restaurant and they had a salad bar, so I got lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and carrots and put a tiny bit of vinagrette dressing on the side to dip things in). The fries probably tipped me over the edge for sodium today, but salad alone wasn't going to keep me going, and everything else on the menu was full of protein.
Snack: wild blueberries (I know - probably way too healthy for me to eat, but I bought some at a roadside stand and couldn't stop eating them as we drove), diet Coke
Supper: pasta with unsalted butter and parmesan, blueberry fudge (also bought on our trip) for dessert. I also admit I had a tiny piece of chocolate fudge - I couldn't resist!
Snack: peach, a little more blueberry fudge

So...not a great day. The fudge is swimming in fat, but I'm still in vacation mode and everyone else was eating it. Tomorrow I'll start tabulating my totals again so I can make sure I'm not overeating.

I'm pretty sure I still haven't O'd - no + OPKs and my cervix is still soft and open. DH and only managed to dtd twice while we were away, and now my Mom is staying at our place for the night, so even tonight is going to be tricky. He's also grumpy from the long driving trip, and he was sooooo not happy when I asked him to release on his own before we dtd tonight. He complained that it's all very awkward with my Mom here, which I agree with (though she and I went out for an hour, so I'm hoping he took care of business then), but I want to make sure I get all my attempts in before I O!
