Hi guys, back in the country and have just been busy. Our holiday in the Cook Islands was AMAZING - I would highly recommend Aitutaki to anyone. So romantic!!

We missed the earthquake here in Canterbury, but we are still feeling the aftershocks - nearly 800 now.

So it's probably been a month since I posted, and I weighed in last night - 88kg - so a 500g increase - not too bad considering all the sneaky treats I've been having!

Anyway, RosieFarmer - I've been thinking of you this week. I hope the snow hasn't done too much damage to the farm and your animals. I'm sure it's keeping you really busy. If there's anything I can do - just let me know.

Remember guys - we can do it ]]> Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:14:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1160260&title=ivf-those-kgs#1160260 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1148799&title=ivf-those-kgs#1148799 Author: SweetP

How's everyone doing? I've managed a few walks, but all this rain doesn't make it any easier... Looking forward to Daylight Savings starting again on the 26th!

Had review appointment on Tuesday, following early miscarriage after first IVF cycle... they said that is was most likely due to egg quality.

Let's hope the rain eases and the earth stops shaking!!!]]> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:00:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1148799&title=ivf-those-kgs#1148799 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1137063&title=ivf-those-kgs#1137063 Author: rosiefarmer

Hehe nightingale - used to love possum shooting with my uncles too, till I realised they only took me to carry the dead ones home.
Some days its all too much exercise - feel totally physcially drained....5.30am till 6pm, and in some cases we go out before we go to bed and check calving cows - most nights we are lucky enough to get back straight home.
I WAS REALLY enjoying my 7am mornings - sure did make the most of them thats for sure.

Apart from the large flat white in my hand I've been doing great! Haha. And ironically it was sooooo hot that my DH had to drop me at work because I wouldn't have been able to carry it walking without it burning me! So not a good start exercise or healthwise but it's a Friday so I'll let myself off! Besides, AF hasn't arrived yet so I am still not officially started. Hehe Good going happygal getting to the gym 3 days a week! I can't afford a gym so just been walking. Going walking twice a week at night with a friend and twice a week with my DH (we'll see though, he's pretty good at making excuses!) plus a 20 minute walk every morning and evening going to and from work I weighed myself this morning and I've lost 3kg in the two weeks I've been exercising and eating healthy so a great start!

ROSIEFARMER: Bet you are getting heaps of exercise and long days probably too! I'm so jealous of you living on a farm, I'd love to do that (although most people who know me would laugh at that I used to have a ball staying with my uncle in Taranaki!) Tore the ligament in my ankle possum shooting though (fell in a pot hole) and still get pain when it's cold!

Yeah, I have Wii fit plus too and tend to stick with the jogging, cycling and hula hooping. It's great fun! I do the step up too but not the plus as I am far too unco for that and never get the steps right! Hahaha. I want to start adding that in at night too but starting slow as I also don't want to exhaust myself.

I tried a Zumba class with my sister a few months ago, fantastic workout, very energetic, my sister goes every week, Im sticking to the gym I think, lol.. Been quite good, went last night and tonight..

Hi Nightingale,

I use the Wii daily, it's currently my only form of exercise apart from going all over the building at work! I'm hoping to also get a 30 min walk in each day when the weather sharpens up a bit.

We have Wii Fit Plus so there's lots of extra bits, but basically I do a lot of Step Plus in the Aeorbic section as I find it really gets a sweat up, as does the boxing. I sometimes do the running in that section too.

If I go into training plus it's usually for some fun and I do the obstacle course and the rhythm parade and a few of the others. Good for a laugh (and frustration)

The crunches etc are also good - man do I feel it!! Good on you for getting walking - my time will come for that!]]> Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:30:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1134100&title=ivf-those-kgs#1134100 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1134066&title=ivf-those-kgs#1134066 Author: Nightingale

Hey Tischler,

Well done on your weight loss! So jealous of your upcoming holiday! I see you use Wii fit too - which exercises do you find most effective? I have one too but I haven't used it lately as I've been walking but I'm not even sure which ones would be the most beneficial?

Hi guys, checking in.

Weighed myself last night and I've now reached my mini-goal of 87.5kg (oops nearly typed 8.75kg hehe). I was hoping to be 85 by the time we left for Raro, but it was really unrealistic.

My aim now is to keep it around this weight or be less by the time we do my weigh in when we get back. I don't want to be too overly ambitious as I would quite like to sip on a cocktail or two!!

Hope you're all going well too!

I'd love to try Zumba, but there's none out there that fits in with my location or timeframes - so Wii Fit it is.

Have a great week or three - I'll probably just touch base when I'm back from our holiday ]]> Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:09:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1133937&title=ivf-those-kgs#1133937 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1131755&title=ivf-those-kgs#1131755 Author: SweetP

I've never tried Zumba but I am soooo uncoordinated that I would just make a right idiot of myself! Sounds fun though! I've walked 4 out of 5 days to work this week (even in the rain which I was proud of myself for doing!) A friend of mine has offered to go walking with me at night too so that'll be a bit extra and I started on my smoothies this morning! I was recommended it by my workmates mum and dad who swear by this super smoothie consisting of kiwifruit, spinach, lemon, apple juice and banana but I replaced the banana with frozen berries as I read they are high in antioxidants. It's supposed to replace brekky but I still had porridge an hour later cos I got hungry. Haha. Gotta be good for me though right? Will add sunflower seeds and pineapple towards the end of my cycle!

Hi guys, checking in time! Welcome everyone new - Happygal, SweetPea, _H_, and anyone else I've forgotten. It's great to have you all on board, any support is welcome and is offered. We've all got goals to achieve, plus the ultimate one!

I weighed in today, and after my gain last week I have lost again. From 90kg on 26th July, I'm now 87.8kg today so heading towards my wee short-term goal. It's the lowest I've been in a long time.

Welcome all,
Emz26 - well done, I to lost 23 kgs with weightwatchers last year, stopped going beginning of this year and had managed to keep off until my 1st round of IVF in July. Put 6 kgs on during that time, and havent been all that great since - pretty down on myself.
But today that just all changed, we started calving , My DH reckons my WII fit just arrived LOL, suggested to him the other day that we get one. He kindly said it will turn up soon enough. He is so right - now I just got to get my eating back on track. Makes a BIG difference when you do track what you eat.
Good luck with losing your next 5-10kg, I personally think the last 5-10 are the hardest to loose. . For me anyway. I need to lose at least 10kg before my FET which looks like will be happening beginning of October. More incentive aye
Good luck everyone.]]> Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:58:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1126338&title=ivf-those-kgs#1126338 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1126337&title=ivf-those-kgs#1126337 Author: Emz26

Nice to have you on board, _H_ and nightingale!
I tell ya for me loose the weigh has been most of the pressure and stress for me so far.
We are about to get the letter this month to say we are on the list and with an approx month for treatment.
For me I have lost 23 kilos and still need and should loose another 5-10kilos
Whats worked for me is weight watchers and doing some form of exercise 6-7 days a week! yup! most days if not everyday.
Good luck with your second round of treatment nightingale!! sending you all my positive thoughts and energy! ]]> Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:49:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1126337&title=ivf-those-kgs#1126337 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1125779&title=ivf-those-kgs#1125779 Author: _H_

Hi Girls!

I was wondering if I can join you? I'm just about to start our second publicly funded IVF cycle and I was told by my FS that I needed to cut out fat from my diet and get fit - not because I'm overweight but because my ovaries were looking polycystic again and he wants to increase the insulin in my body so i don't over respond and get OHSS again I'm pleased with that because I was in agony last egg collection and for a week afterwards! Anyway, so I know I'm not here for the same thing as you guys (although a few kilos wouldn't hurt ) but hopefully you don't mind me joining in! ]]> Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:44:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1125424&title=ivf-those-kgs#1125424 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1122697&title=ivf-those-kgs#1122697 Author: snooze

Thanks Emz26! Nicely appreciated and appropriate reality check

Yes we are off to the Cook Islands for 8 nights! First time ever for me, and so well deserved after the bad 15 months or so we've had lately.

Funny how it's easier to give advice than take it eh?!

tischler,
Sounds like you have a lot of things on your plate at the moment!
Just remember you can do this, and dont do it for anyone else apart from yourself! so get back on that bandwagon and go hardout!! coz obiously you you want this!
I know what you mean about the hole no sex drive thing, i guess for me its when the pressures on, and then im just so tired and run down! I bet once you have had your holiday and during your holiday that spark will come back and the great reasons for why you are going thru this hole process will be clear to you again.
lol Man i should take my own advice lol!!!!
You doing anything great for your holiday?
Keep up the hard work! you are doing great!! xx]]> Tue, 10 Aug 2010 09:47:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1122591&title=ivf-those-kgs#1122591 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1122563&title=ivf-those-kgs#1122563 Author: tischler

Hi guys, the man at the bank made me put on 500g Although my lack of exercise probably didn't help

I'm trying to get back on the bandwagon but AF due this week which always makes me eat crappy.

Holiday in 20 sleeps, so need it. Now this may be TMI but here goes ....... I was sick the whole week last week, with DH's mum passing away a month ago and general 'wear and tear' we're both exhausted and have absolutely no sex drive. We still love spending time together and cuddle/kiss but it's kind of concerning me. I feel like we're hoping that the holiday will make it all 'right' again is that too much pressure??

Sorry to burden you guys, but it gets it out of my head! ]]> Tue, 10 Aug 2010 09:27:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1122563&title=ivf-those-kgs#1122563 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1121959&title=ivf-those-kgs#1121959 Author: rosiefarmer

Way to go Emz26 well done.
Way to to to Snooze, a loss is a loss.
Not been a very good week for me, havent even weighed in this morning - cant be bothered. I am tired havent been eating well (have had some major sweet/lollies cravings), or sleeping well.
Think my AF is due, should be its been a month since my BFN.
Really need to get back on track this week. , find my positiveness.
Hope everyone else has a better week. ]]> Mon, 09 Aug 2010 13:29:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1121959&title=ivf-those-kgs#1121959 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1121945&title=ivf-those-kgs#1121945 Author: Emz26

I had a coment the other day - DH's best friend asked him the other day if he had gotten his wife pg yet DH said nope, best friend said tell her to stop eating bread. Reckon a friend of his wife had done that and gotten pg.
My coment to DH was when he/they have been trying to get pg for 14 yrs I might take thier advice, do they not see that I have lost 20kgs.....
I am dieing to go and see them to see if he says anything to me......I wont hold back.

If I was you I would go back to bank when you are feeling a bit better and say something to the Prat....]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:26:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1119885&title=ivf-those-kgs#1119885 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1119573&title=ivf-those-kgs#1119573 Author: rachb

Tischler - how rude of the bank teller, that really sucks when people say things like that. At work there are 5 girls that are just about due or just found out they are pg, its so devastating espcially when they continually ask when i'm going to have one.

Well done all of you on your efforts towards ur weightloss. I have fallen off the wagon a bit lately so need to get back on it.

Its so hard to resist the urge to eat chocolate tho!!!

Okay so I know I can vent here ...... In the last couple of months I've manage to lose nearly 5kg and today at the bl**dy bank, the teller (guy) looked at me, and said "Have you got all your life insurance sorted with that one on the way?". WTF!!!

It does not help that I'm still off work (and will be for the rest of the week) with this dreaded infection and was feeling light-headed, so I didn't give him the absolute blast I wanted to ... I just played along. Now I'm grumpy that I did that and let him away with it ......

I mean if he knew what we've been going through to get pg, and how flippant his remark was

Okay vent over, off to finish my V - yes sorry guys I'm eating and drinking crap cos he made me so grumpy.

Suggestion Tischler - I try and have 2 glasses of water before I go out in the am, then another 2 when I get back inside and again before I go out again. As I am in and out all day it seems to work ok, but get a bit slack sometimes, specially when it is cold.
Awesome loss for you. , I was wondering about my gain been related to my cycle, seems out of cync at the moment probably got something to do with my IVF cycle, dont think I have ovulated naturally this month. No change.
Have decided we all need to move to Wakatipu - they have had 18 sets of twins born there this year already and 10 or 11 of then natural - must be something in the water.
I also havent done much exercise as my ankle is still playing up. , need it right for when we start calving. ]]> Tue, 03 Aug 2010 13:12:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1117002&title=ivf-those-kgs#1117002 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1116963&title=ivf-those-kgs#1116963 Author: tischler

Hi Rosiefarmer - don't worry about 500g, we do fluctuate in weight depending on our cycle, and you've been doing AWESOME.

I'm terrible with drinking water. In my job I'm here there and everywhere and generally don't have one place to base myself so having a bottle of water handy is hard (or I lose it). Anyone got suggestions how to manage this as I know it would make the world of difference to me??

I've had a loss this week, down 1.3kg. I haven't changed my eating habits or exercise (as currently have throat and chest infection with mild flu so 'couch' ridden). I put it down to going back on meds via my GP.

Prior to IVF my GP put me on metformin and spironolactone to help with weight loss - and it worked well. However with IVF we had to ditch the spironolactone as it can cause deformities in boy bits (!), but since we're now on the long wait, we've reintroduced it and it's been amazing!!

Apparently it can help PCOS sufferers to kick the metabolism so that in conjunction with good eating and exercise you can see the difference - which gives good motivation to keep going!

Not sure if anyone else wants to investigate that track but I'll put it out there FYI

We can do it Have a good week guys!]]> Tue, 03 Aug 2010 12:37:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1116963&title=ivf-those-kgs#1116963 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1116940&title=ivf-those-kgs#1116940 Author: rosiefarmer

Hoping dont stress too much while you are on your buserlin, I gained 5kg in the 5-6 weeks I was doing my round of IVF - remember the havoc the hormones will be playing on your body. Walking will be good though, firm those muscles up and helps clear the head.
One thing physio said to me yesterday was "wow girl you got awesome muscly legs are you a runner" LOL "no dont run but do lots of walking".

Awesome work Rosiefarmer - it's going to be a challenge to keep up with you!

Anyway, I'm back guys - yay! Finally life is settling into a more 'normal' routine again so here I am. We are off to Raro in 5 weeks for a very well deserved 'post-IVF blues' 8 night holiday (not looking at the bank balance - ahhh).

So, any weight loss between now and then will be fab-o! I weighed in tonight and I am 90.0kg (less than I've been for ages) so wahooooo!

My new goal is 85kg, and I'd love to be there by 30th August - so let's see! DH wants me to wear a bikini in Raro - hahahahahaha, I've never ever worn one and I doubt even at 65kg, let alone 85kg would I wear one - but hey, a bit of incentive for maybe some new swimwear (1-piece)

Anyway, look forward to touching base far more regularly and kicking the excess weight in the butt together.

Hey ladies,
I have had a great week LOST 2.6kg, got my self control back, had a couple of slip ups during the week, but made up for them by exercise. So I am back on track
You just got to say to yourself "I am doing it For ME" and you are the only one that you can blame.

Good luck everyone.
Forgot to mention I have sprained my ankle and knee also twigged my calf tear all the same leg , not impressed, but trying to keep as active as physio will let me, need to get better in 3 weeks all on then - calving starts, need 2 good legs.

AAARGGGHHHHH!!!!! Am so mad with myself - have been dong so well.....crumpets for breakfast, two ww biscuits for morning tea, soup and gluten free bread for lunch and small dinners with stir-fry veges and then this afternoon we had staff meeting which was long and boring.....we then moved on to another smaller meeting where 'refreshments' were supplied and I was starving and ate waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much!! Crackers with hummus, cashews and several chocolate wheatens!!! So mad with myself, didn't have time for a walk today either and having done so well I had a coffee this morning....possibly the start of my downfall!!!! So a big B****R on my front - hope everyone else is having a better start to their week!!]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:11:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1104320&title=ivf-those-kgs#1104320 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1103267&title=ivf-those-kgs#1103267 Author: snooze

Hi Julia,

My doc recommended 70-75kgs for my height and I am still late 70's.    I don't want to go into IVF heavier than normal and then put more weight on. My birthday today so starting again tommorow. Want to make it a lifestyle rather than a diet!]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:37:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1103267&title=ivf-those-kgs#1103267 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1101253&title=ivf-those-kgs#1101253 Author: lilfatty

Hi all - thought I would join in here for a bit of motivation too

We are doing IVF at the mo - start injections next week, and just wanted to do all I can to help make things more positive so have finally totally given up coffee (was really hard for me!! started to cut back and have now totally stopped) and so next step is to try and drop a few kgs. My doc at my last apt said I'm ok but wouldn't advise any weight gain - but according to their advised BMI I definitely need to drop some so have started trying.

I'm a terrible eater - if I don't have breakfast I can survive until dinner before I need to eat, if I eat breaky I am starving by 10am!! Anyway, have started eating smaller meals, making sure I have break/lunch/tea, have tried to cut out carbs as much as poss (although today hasn't been good!!) and have finally started some walking again - something I love but find it so hard to fit in to my day. Have found a 3.5km loop in my town which is reasonbly flat so I should be able to keep doing it through IVF without getting too sore was my thinking.

Anyway, have managed to drop about 3kg. Dropped a lot after I started walking again (just a couple of days ago) so am hoping that will help get things going. I'm a shocker though and just have to weigh myself daily!! Anyway, hope everyone else is going well on their journeys - if anyone has any tips that have helped them heaps I am all ears ]]> Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:03:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1100530&title=ivf-those-kgs#1100530 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1099550&title=ivf-those-kgs#1099550 Author: snooze

A loss is a loss though eh?   Just think 100g a week is still 5kg a year.    People usually gain year after year.

Did my pilates and walk today. Still doing well. Was actually going to buy a POAS test cause I am soo tired didn't wake up this morning until DS did. Would be a miracle if I was pg!]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:27:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1099550&title=ivf-those-kgs#1099550 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1098816&title=ivf-those-kgs#1098816 Author: astral_monkey

Hi folks.

Good to hear you're doing so well on the exercise front Snooze! I heard something similar about the food vs exercise balance. I need to be below 60kg for my height (158cm), but my doc doesn't hold a lot of stock with BMI, so my first goal is 65kg by my next docs appt (set by me, not him).

I'm with you guys on not telling anyone! My mum and sister both know, and I'm assuming my dad, and maybe my two other sisters might as well, but DH's family is well and truly being kept out of the loop. He's got quite a large extended family, that are all close, and any news is shared with the whole lot. I can't handle all the questions so I've told DH we're not telling them till we are definitely UTD and are past the 12 week mark! I'm worried about hurting his mum's feelings by not telling her, but DH says as long as when we do tell her we explain why we waited, she'll understand.

Got my BT results back yesterday and it was exactly as I expected, no ovulation. Doc is sending me a prescription for clomid, which I will start next cycle. *Sigh*

Weight loss is barely moving at present. I was determined to get below 71kg at next weeks weigh in, but for some reason every time I have a good day, I ruin it with dessert or a chocolate bar. Grrr! I was proud of myself yesterday for resisting the urge to get McD's after I got my test results back, then proceeded to eat 2 snickers bars. It's just stupid really.

I just keep shaking it off and starting again, which is good because the last couple of weeks have been losses, but they're only 100g at a time, and I know I can do better!

Sorry for the rant. A lot going on in my head at the moment.

I'm looking forward to the weekend. Fingers crossed the sunshine lasts!!!]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:02:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1098816&title=ivf-those-kgs#1098816 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1096154&title=ivf-those-kgs#1096154 Author: snooze

Sorry to hear about your result rosiefarmer.   
Lani I am also with you on not telling people. Unfortunalty my MIL and mum are helping us out financially in Sept so they will know about it. But managing other peoples expectations as well as you own is really hard. I remember my first two BFN (1 fresh, 1 frozen) mum was ringing all of the time and she could tell by my voice whenever I got results without me needing to say anything to her.

Anyways I have been excellent on the exercise front think Zumba, Bootcamp, Bike riding, Walks etc.. but I still weigh the same but clothes are fitting better oh well. Must be the food, I read somewhere that results are 70% food, 30% exercise.
I am still aiming to get to 73kgs by Sept (I am now 79.5kg).   My doctor said between 70-75 for my height (176cm).

Enjoy the sunshine everyone ]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:13:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1096154&title=ivf-those-kgs#1096154 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1095458&title=ivf-those-kgs#1095458 Author: rosiefarmer

Hey Tischler - so sorry to hear about your MIL. RIP.
Yes we got one frozen embryo. , got my fingers crossed for this wee mircale.
DH is staying home - think he needs some time by himself to be honest, he is a awesome rock and has been great support for me. I brought his a cuddly monkey yesterday and gave him a thank you card for been such a awesome guy.
We/I did my crying on the Thursday before my bloodtest. So I am feeling not too bad
Lani I am with you in not telling anyone next time, geez it was so hard telling family it didnt work, specially DH's mum, she was so sad for us.
And my SIL almost sounded disappointed that I wasnt bawling my eyes out when she rang me on Saturday to see how I was feeling. My philosphy - if it was meant to be it would of worked. Well that makes me feel better. As hard as it is to cope with not working, you got to get back up there and be ready for your next step - gawd I been ttc for 14 years - think I got a wee bit more paitence in me yet. .
Tischler hope the rest ofthe holidays go alright for you. I just had my 16 yr old down last week, he went home yesterday, he was a great help and when I told him that I didnt get pregnant this time he said "ohhh mum so sorry," and when I dropped him at the bus stop yesterday he gave me a awesome hug and said "I love you mum", I managed to hold back the tears till I got to the car - he hassles me when he sees me cry.
Sun is shinning down here today - and I am stuck inside waiting for my BF to visit with her 18month old twins. - just wish they were mine.

Fingers crossed Lani! That would be an awesome Xmas pressie!!!

I've got myself down to 72kg, but am having trouble getting past there. I wish I could say it was because I've plateaued, but I've just been lazy. Need to ban myself from all forms of fast food! That's my downfall I think.

DH and I adopted a puppy from the SPCA last weekend, so I got a little bit of exercise taking her for walks over the weekend. Hopefully I keep it up as I can get very lazy on the weekends.

On the TTC front. (For all those that have joined us, I'm not on the IVF track just yet, but I do have PCOS and am currently on Metformin.) Had my day 21 BT on Saturday. Will find out on Wed arvo if I have ovulated or not. FX.

7kg to go to reach my 65kg goal. Time to get this party started!!!

Good luck everyone!]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 11:07:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1095429&title=ivf-those-kgs#1095429 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1095248&title=ivf-those-kgs#1095248 Author: Laniw

Hi Guys,

So sorry to hear Rosiefarmer, thinking of you.
Well done though on loosing 24 kgs last year that is huge. I put on approx 5-7 kgs on each 2 cycles.

Well I havent been too bad over the weekend, took the dog for a big walk, done a little bit on the treadmill and some Tae Bo boxing. Have been eating resonably healthy except the odd bit of chocolate (it keeps me sain).

We are going to be doing our next cycle in October but have decided not to tell anyone as the pressure from family & friends has been huge. Everybody knows that we were going to be trying in October but DH a I have now backtracked and said we are not going to try till after Christmas, they all seemed dissapointed but understood. What a surprise Christmas present if it works.]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:10:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1095248&title=ivf-those-kgs#1095248 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1095240&title=ivf-those-kgs#1095240 Author: Crakleys

Hi guys, just checking in. I've been AWOL as my MIL passed away (finally peacefully) and we've been up at her funeral. I also have had and anticipate the week from hell with school holidays and trying to keep the step-kids busy so we are away on a break again Wed-Sun - will be eating more crappily. Ahhhh. Anyway, I'll touch base next week when things are a bit more 'normal'.

Rosiefarmer - oh my gosh I'm soooo sorry to hear your news. Did you get any frozens - I can't remember. I hope you have a great week away from the farm - good idea. Is DH going with you or does he have to stay and run the property? I hope you're both giving each other lotsa support as you need it during this crap time. Hang in there - thinking of you!

Hi to everyone else, once I get back on board shall we instigate the weekly weigh in session again??

We can do it!!!]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 08:45:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1095211&title=ivf-those-kgs#1095211 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1095171&title=ivf-those-kgs#1095171 Author: rosiefarmer

Good Morning ladies,

Hows everyone doing? I have just finished my 1st round of IVF with a BFN, so I now need to get back onto my weightloss goals. I have put 4 kgs on while doing the round of IVF dam it all.
I lost 24kgs last year. So my 1st goal is going to be 7 kgs to get me back to where I was at the end of last year.
Need to get my body right and ready for frozen embryo transfer in a couple of months.
Just weighed myself 97,4kg. Got a pretty big shock, so not happy with myself.
This weeke is a hard week to get started as I am going away for a week, but its important that I start and do the best I can.

Thanks Laniw for the info. Very interesting!   I know that dropping carbs is a sure fire way of loosing weight, shame I love them so much!

Not such a good day today. Monring tea at work and because I was awake from 2.30am till 5.00am with DS grizling I was pretty tired. I am useless at eating well when i am tired. Another day tommorow.

I have a swim and bootcamp planned for the weekend. I have bought a medicine ball to mix it up a bit. Should be good!

Oh, I also bought a pilates DVD for when I can't get out of the house. Done it once so far (only got it yesterday) and I quite enjoyed it.     

I have a joint 1st birthday for the coffee groups girls tommorow. I must be good!!]]> Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:21:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1085607&title=ivf-those-kgs#1085607 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1084847&title=ivf-those-kgs#1084847 Author: Laniw

Hi Ladies,

You all sound like you are doing a great job.

I too need to loose some weight, we have taken a break from IVF since it didnt work in March and will be trying again in October so thought it couldnt hurt to lose a few kgs.

I found this website helpful also, it has some great reading:
www.weight-loss.co.nz

I have now shifted the treadmill into the lounge & have joined a social netball team so have no reason not to excercise.

My work has started a competition this winter kind of like the biggest looser on TV. 1st June we were all weighed in and given a fat test, all of our results have been kept secret from us and all staff only the nutritionist knows. We also had a nutritionist come in and explain about different foods like:
Carbs - Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta etc
60 - 90 minutes after a meal carbs are turned into sugar and then fat.
Protein - Eggs, steak, fish, yoghurt, chicken etc
3-5 hours after a meal it turns into sugar then fat.
Fruit - 60-90 minutes after eating it gets turned into sugar.
Excercise will only burn fat once you keep going over 30 mins.
Do weights first before you do cardio.
You only need to be excercising at 60-70% of capacity.
Some of the things he said contridicted what I have been told in the past by other nutritionists though.

On the 1st October we get weighed in and our General Manager has put up $500.00 for first prize which is a great, espically when I tend to do nothing over winter cause its so cold down here.

Poos.. just wrote a big post and lost it.. anyway I loved Zumba, mainly cause I love dancing and used to do Salsa .. a bit similar in parts.   I think each week would get easier as even though she doesn't show you what to do she repeats it each week apparently.

Planning to walk tommorow morning.   

Swim went pretty well, although I do have a mental block with swimming as I find it so hard... my brain keeps telling me to get out!

Hi guys, well ... unfortunately I'm back here, not pregnant, but keen to kick some butt and lose kg's!!

I thought I'd get back on track on Monday, but I didn't. Thought I'd get back on track today, but I didn't. So ..... am aiming to make a few small changes over the next few days, with the ultimate aim of weighing in on Monday next week and starting hard out.

So I'll be right up there egging you all on, and hoping you'll do the same to me. Was going to rejoin WW online ... DH isn't too keen on me doing so. Thinks I could do it myself. Which I possibly could, although the PCOS makes it hard ... I feel it would be good to have WW so that I have some external motivation and something to be accountable for - any suggestions on how to encourage him to let me spend the $??

Welcome to you newbie's - so great to have you here.

Good idea, I like that!   I am also trying to think you only get one boby so be nice to it.   

Since I posted last I had two parties and were not good at them. But I seem to have my head together now. Ate well yesterday and did a 6.5km walk after work.    

Once I see some results I will be more and more motivated I am sure!

Hi Snooze! Welcome.

What I'm working on at the moment, is every time I think about a chocolate bar, or ice cream, or whatever it happens to be at the time, I ask myself - do I really want this more than a baby? The answer is no, and it reminds me why I'm doing this and what my priorities should be.

I've got another 7kg to reach my first goal of 65kg. Lets do this together!

Hello,

I am trying to loose 7kg ready for my next round(3rd) in Sept but I keep sabotaging myself Yesterday at work we had a bake off for charity and I couldn't resist! Anyway off to boot camp soon.

I haven't posted in the infertility forum before... as a bit of background I have had 2 IVF rounds. Second resulting in DS who is just over 1. We will be going private next time so I need to do everything I can to make it work as we don't have unlimited funds..

Take care everyone.]]> Sat, 26 Jun 2010 07:55:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1077603&title=ivf-those-kgs#1077603 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1073350&title=ivf-those-kgs#1073350 Author: rachb

Wow, Rach! Congratulations! That's fantastic! What an inspiration.

I had my weigh-in this morning - 71.9kg! Yay! Which means I have lost 1.4kg this week and reached my end of June goal which was to be below 72kg (with a week to spare).

My next goal is to be under 70kg, which I want to do by 6 July. Then by the end of July I want to have reached my 10% goal of 67kg.

These goals are ever so slightly ambitious, but I really want to be below 65kg by my next specialist appointment. Which will be some time in August or Sept.

Wish me luck!]]> Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:45:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1072190&title=ivf-those-kgs#1072190 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1069306&title=ivf-those-kgs#1069306 Author: rachb

good luck ladies with your weight loss.

I started my "healthy eating & exercise" in october last year and have gone from being 93kg at my heaviest to 65kg. I am now trying to maintain this.

I do have a rather large sweet tooth which gets the better of me.

I used a nutrionist in based in wellington, who gave me a meal plan and exercises based on things i had at home - eg walking and using my Wii.

I know its not the easiest thing to do, espcially when ur DH/DF eats what they want. (I used to catch my DF hiding in the bedroom pigging out on chocolate).

Anyway good luck and if i can offer any tips or support let me know. ]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 20:40:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1069306&title=ivf-those-kgs#1069306 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1066562&title=ivf-those-kgs#1066562 Author: astral_monkey

I've got a WiiFit too tischler. I feel sorry for my fat little Mii! LOL. Especially when you do the body test and the scale goes up and your Mii goes from being super thin to a fatty! I conveniently forget that it's a reflection of the real me.

For me, losing weight falls heavily on my diet. Exercise helps, but if I don't have the diet sorted I'm not going to get far. I suggest you find a plan you are confident you can stick to and stay with it for as long as it takes. (WW works from me.) I also started playing hockey because I knew if I made a commitment to a team it would keep me going every week (more so than the need to exercise).

There's no point doing anything halfway, but don't go so hard that you make it harder than it needs to be.

And as always, we are here for support!]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:53:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1066562&title=ivf-those-kgs#1066562 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1066406&title=ivf-those-kgs#1066406 Author: tischler

Oh that DVD sounds fab! I need something like that.

I'm anticipating AF in the next day or so - definitely feels like she's about to visit. So that means kicking butt with good health and a planned O/S holiday somewhere warm in September to get ready for. I'm on my WiiFit - any other suggestions??]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 09:59:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1066406&title=ivf-those-kgs#1066406 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1066383&title=ivf-those-kgs#1066383 Author: astral_monkey

Oh my gosh Astral... thats just the DVD I'm looking for!!! Where did you get it from??? I saw it on fishpond and they say that if they are not region 4 (code for where dvd can be played, 4 being NZ/Aus), but I'm a bit sceptical. So I may just order them and hope they can play in my DVD player! I hear it is awesome! I will def keep everyone updated!]]> Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:39:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1065917&title=ivf-those-kgs#1065917 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1065395&title=ivf-those-kgs#1065395 Author: astral_monkey

Wow, Anna, that sounds really exciting! You'll have to give us regular reports on how your doing, and how your liking the plan.

I'm quite a big fan of Jillian Michaels (the american biggest loser trainer), I have her 30 day shred DVD, and man that thing kicks my a$$! It's a 20min workout and when I'm done I'm more knackered than after a full game of hockey! I love it.

Tischler, my fingers are crossed for your 2WW, I really hope you have some good news by Monday!!! And if not, I'm looking forward to losing weight together. You're right, WE CAN DO IT!!!

In other related weightloss news, I signed up to do the Tough Gal challenge. ARGH! 6km through mud and streams, under cargo nets, all sorts. Yikes! My sister did it last year and had an awesome time, and at the end of it you get a free beer, a shower and all the hot soup you can eat. I'm actually kind of excited about it.

No news on the fertility front for me. Still waiting for AF to show so I can work out if I actually have a cycle or not.

Keep at it girls!]]> Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:43:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1065395&title=ivf-those-kgs#1065395 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1063962&title=ivf-those-kgs#1063962 Author: tischler

Wahoo astralmonkey and anna123 - you guys are inspirational!

I weighed in last night and have gone back up abit - now 92.1kg - grr. Although all my own doing as I haven't been working as hard, and since I'm in my 2WW on my last emby I haven't been doing lots of exercise ....

Anyway, on Monday (or before) I'll know where I'm at, but for now I'm ticking along. On Tuesday no matter what, I'm right up there with you guys finding a new plan to kick this weight off!!

We can do it ]]> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:03:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1063962&title=ivf-those-kgs#1063962 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1063925&title=ivf-those-kgs#1063925 Author: anna123

Hi everyone... well, I'm going to get serious about my weightloss... I'm off to raro in 2 weeks and and when I get back I'm doing a "12 week body transformation". It's an online course run by Michelle Bridges who is the trainer from the Australian Biggest Loser, she gives you the tools to re-train your habits! Its a bit of a "get real, no excuses" program. Theres some info online, but I'm really excited... I have started my pre-season tasks... which is preparing your workout gear, kitchen, mindset etc. You have to identify all your excuses you use e.g. I'm too unfit, its too cold to excercise, I'm too tired, I'm too busy to eat healthy (those are just a few of mine) and you have to have a solution... because once there is a solution, there is no excuse! Part of the pre-season tasks is to tell the world you are going to "lose 10kgs" (as thats my goal), that way you have made a commitment to people and you are accountable to honour your word! So here it goes! NO EXCUSES!! :)

Hope I haven't bombarded anyone with this lol, I'm just really excited bout it, I feel like I finally have the tools I need!!! Hope you all have something thats inspiring to you on this journey as well!    Talk soon]]> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:38:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1063925&title=ivf-those-kgs#1063925 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1063917&title=ivf-those-kgs#1063917 Author: astral_monkey

Haha! I did it!

Signed up to WW last week, and had my first weigh-in this morning - 73.3kg. So step one is a big tick and step 2 looks like a given, if I stay focused!

How is everybody else doing? This thread has been very quiet over the past week. Don't give up ladies. Don't forget what this is for!]]> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:31:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1063917&title=ivf-those-kgs#1063917 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1056357&title=ivf-those-kgs#1056357 Author: astral_monkey

*Sigh* Specialist didn't have much new to add. Plan is metformin for 3 months, with day 21 blood tests each month. So it's counting days and waiting. Sadly, no sign of AF so I can't even start counting days yet!

This should be the time to get serious about my weight loss. I'm thinking about re-joining WW online. The first time I was on WW I was really good and disciplined and lost 8kgs quite easily, then ruined it all during a week away with a youth sports team. Couldn't find my way back onto the wagon after that. I ended up putting it all back on and then some! I know it works, so if I sign up again and just focus and stick to it, then I can get my weight to a point where it's no longer a barrier to fertility!

I've also started to realise how selfish I am being. My husband will make a great father, and he's starting to really want it now too. By not doing something about my weight I'm stopping him from achieving that. Doesn't seem right, does it?

Okay, so taking this seriously now! I'm currently 74.4kg. My weigh in day will be Tuesdays. And my goal for next Tuesday is to be under the 74kg mark. That's step one. There are 3 weeks left in June. Step number two is to be below 72kg by the end of June.

In 3 months time, when I go back to the specialist I will be 65kg or below!

(Also, when I reach 65kg, I've made a deal with DH that he will buy me an All Blacks jersey.)

Sorry for the bit of the rant.

Hi Ladies,
What an great topic, I lost 20kgs last year to get to my goal weight of 90kg (and have managed to keep it off), and we have just started out 1st round of IVF this month.
Been having some pretty yuck feelings though, bloated and glumpy finding it real hard to stay motivated, but trying to be positive, seen as it took us 2 years to get to this point.
Good luck to you all. x. ]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:46:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1051976&title=ivf-those-kgs#1051976 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32733&PID=1049286&title=ivf-those-kgs#1049286 Author: sarahd

Great...blood tests went south to Christchurch and haven't got results.

Very frustrating living in a little town (Taupo) and things "go missing".

Had this happen twice with pregnancy tests.
