TTC girl early 2016..Buddies

I've decided to completely cut out meat.. it's been almost 2 weeks. For the 7 prior to that I was only eating chicken and also had eggs.... no more eggs for me either now. I've been eating very light.... I've lost 5 lbs and at 112 now. I'm trying to do cardio but having a hard time. My 2 year old freaks out so bad in the childcare that I can never get a whole 60 min in and at home in never get that kind of time to myself. Kind of a bummer.... I'm now down to 5 weeks left before our attempt and starting to think maybe I should just count cardio out :-( I really wanted to include it as I was never active when I conceived my boys and feel like it could make a difference.

Hi kmomofthree, welcome��. Yes i think i will get impatient too, starting to get alittle more anxious bcos i personally hate dieting. IM sure i will have a decent amount of cheats here and there lol . How are u going on the diet? I think im going to go gluten free also bcos i have psoriasis

Hi Honeybug, have u been doing diet for long ? I wish I could try December but haven't started diet yet , I'd love a September bubba ! Not starting diet til January though.. Praying for pink

I started the le diet back in nov 2014 and started ttc Jan 2015. After another BFN in sept I decided to take a much needed break from ttc (including a 8 week break from the diet). I have since been back in the diet for ~4 weeks. So although its not the recommended amount of time, I feel confident in my overall condition

mkddav - The first week and a half was the worst for me -- after that the headaches and fatigue should fade away
Oh except I still have to fight the urge NOT to snack. I'm a horrible snacker -- give me all the charcuterie in the world and I would be the happiest person lol

Good luck honeybug xx

No snacking is so hard. I do allow myself tiny snacks here and there if I'm legitimately hungry (stomach growling or feeling light headed). I'm still always under my calorie goal. I don't know how in the world anyone can cram all their calories into 2-3 meals. I can't make myself eat that much in one sitting

[Faithinpink]

Yes i agree^^^ snacking will be hard but gotta say to myself its not for long and i want to lose weigh so ill be doing this for a number of reasons .. Hopefully i can manage the cardio im going to stick a picture of my children on my treadmill and myself as a little girl so i can give myself inspiration to keep going .. I will imagine my daughter.. Hopefully i dont go into dreamland while im walking on the tradmill LOL and fall off

Hi :-) I'm also attempting in 8 weeks or so.I have been vegetarian on and off for the last 3 months and finding it easier with mixing veggies with little herbs and low salt seasonings.Most days I have been eating salads with a sandwich or egg whites with vegetables,fruit and yoghurt,cucumber and cream cheese(low fat) on cruskits,wraps with salad,pasta with small amount of sauce and veggies,small amount of fish and rice.If I need fat I have been having chai lattes with lots of cinnamon or small amounts of ice cream.Good luck i

[Kmomofthree]

Sounds good Jensy :-)

Oh my gosh. I just cheated soooooo bad on my diet! Tomorrow and the next 4 weeks (hopefully will be the last 4 weeks!) I'll definitely hit it hard. I feel like I've been doing great so I'm ok with the cheat. It was worth it. I'll do extra cardio tomorrow ;-)

[jensy]

I find cheating gets you through :-) I have cheated lots but always try the next few days after too be really rigid and lots of cardio.I can't wait until the 4 week countdown! I have been doing it week by week so it doesn't feel so long away lol.
