if i dont get a for christmas this month, I'm going to take a couple months off to lose all my depression weight. I havent discussed this with DH, but when we first started dating i was like 115. now im up to 140. actually yesterday at the doctor it was 138. but i still want to get back down to the weight i was. i was happy with myself then. i'm gonna need lots of encouragement during this time. Because i want nothing more than to get pg, but i want to be a healthy weight that i am happy with.

anyone want to join me in this break?? like a TTC biggest loser or something. haha... really i just dont want to be alone in this

my goal: 20-25 lbs.

Good luck to you on the health quest AND baby making quest! May 2008 be a happy healthy year for you and yours....

hey there. well, i'm right along with you. i had my 4th IUI done this week, and am testing on the 28th. if its negative, next steps are IVF (sometime in the spring). however, in the meantime, i would like to try and lose some weight. i too was around 115 lbs. when my DH and I met about 10 years ago, and am now about 145 lbs.

i'd love to lose about 20 lbs. i don't think even if i wanted to i could get to 115 again, that was back in the day when i could eat anything i wanted and not worry about it. oh, how i miss those days.

let's keep our fingers crossed we both get our !! i'm praying for you.

Good luck girls! I hope you reach your goals!

You have perfect timing!!! I alraedy made a deal with myself that after the Holdiay season I would start exercising and eating more healthy.

When I met my DH I was 120 and now I am also teetering around the 140 range. My goal is 10-15 pounds to start with - I have never been on a diet and don't want to start too big and get discouraged!!

Hopefully we can share ideas that help us lose some pounds along the way!!

Well, here is one thing about eating I have learned: Eat about 6 small meals a day. I have heard more success stories from that, because it boosts your metabolism

DH said i could join a gym, but i dont want to join alone. I want a work out buddy, so im looking for someone.

[HollyC]

Thanks for the idea, I think the 6 small meals sounds like a good idea. I use to eat that way when I was in college - it seemed I use to get full very quickly then would be hungry again a coule hours later so I would eat smaller meals. Maybe that is how I stayed at a good weight back them - in addition to being younger with a higher metabolism!!

I think a workout buddy will be good for you. In the past I was always more dedicated when I went to the gym with a friend. I will be going to the workout facility where my husband works - it's free so that is nice. I think I will look for someone a workout buddy to keep me motivated also!!

my grandma gave me money for christmas so DH and i went to circuit city, and i found Carmen Electra's Striptease workout dvds... Im actually gonna try them- it might benefit in more than one way


if it works, i will let you know. This could benefit in the bedroom which could benefit in the "mating" hint hint

Oh I am so in! I would also like to lose about 20 pounds. I've gained about 35 since getting married 6 years ago but I would be happy with 20 pounds lost I think. I don't want to do anything drastic so I'm just going to try to make healthier choices, eat a little less at each meal and add in a little more exercize. Then hopefully if I do get pregnant then I won't have to worry about gaining so much weight if I start out at a more healthy weight. Of course I'd much rather get pregnant right away.... Good luck girls!!

How has everyone been doing with the weight loss?? I haven't started exercising yet - waiting until I go back to school and get into my regular work routine. However, I have started eating the suggested 6 small meals a day with more vegetables and fruits - thanks for that idea!!

Does anyone else have more suggestions for weight loss? It's pretty basic I guess - eat healthy and exercise!! Easier said than done, especially during the winter months!

[MrsBiff]

my work is actually having a weight loss competition. we're all putting 2 dollars a week in, and whoever loses the most weight in 3 months gets the cash. its definately motivating me.

[Jomyke74]

So far I've lost 2 of the 3 pounds that I gained over the holidays. But honestly I haven't been eating that great lately. The only good thing is I've added in more fruit. Now I just need to start cutting out more of the junk food. I will try to make a better effort this week.
