Sorry for chiming in to the thread so late, just wanted to add my 2 cents.

Yoga can totally help you lose weight for IVF if that's your goal.

Yoga burns calories when done the right way, that's for sure!

If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week.

This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked flawlessly for me.

Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level.

If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results.

Good luck!

An experienced IVF doctor will always give the right advice. You can't torture yourself with rejection. IVF is stressful for the body as it is. At Feskov clinic, where I was treated, I had to eat healthy food and drink a lot. Less sugar and salt. Simple rules that are very difficult to follow. ]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2021 20:38:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=5916056&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#5916056 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1391003&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1391003 Author: MAC35

I don't go by WW for that exact reason - it focuses on really high carb foods and gives them a low PP, possibly because they are low GI - you still have high carbs. Most root veges are high in carbs. It is really important to include protein with every meal - 5 meals a day - that includes morning/afternoon tea (nuts are a superb option for snacks). Protein is very filling.

For anyone struggling with weight, I really believe that a dietician is the way to go. Food intolerances/allergies are often discovered and if you have intolerances/allergies it can hinder weight loss. But like any diet plan, if you don't stick to it then it won't work. Eating every 2-3 hours so your blood sugars don't get low is also important - if your blood sugars get low then your liver slows down - hence you stop burning fat. If you stick to such an eating plan, you won't need to count calories, and you won't be hungry.

BUT if the WW points plan is working for you, then stick with it - anything that works is worth it IMO! Just keep the protein going with every meal.

Thanks maybee.

I have been using the WW PP online and it put my pumpkin soup at low PP. Might have to change my lunches but have still been losing weight. Any other soup ideas? I also make pea and ham soup with lentils etc.

I have LSA with bit of muesli in mornings with fresh fruit etc. Have been buying some natural greek yoghurt with no added sugar whcih has been nice as well.

If have good brekkie and lunch then that is enough to put me through until dinner time.

Any other good recipes that we culd share.

Didnt go to WW last week but now 9 kg from goal which I am happy with. Now the drugs from last stim cycle have worn off can actually feel my tummy now. Just need to work on thighs and legs.

have good night all.

I am trying to stay away from sugar at the moment as well.]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 20:04:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1382047&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1382047 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1381985&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1381985 Author: MaeBeeBaby

Mac35, if you are feeling toned, chances are your 300gms are muscle - so don't despair!

If you have only been exercising/dieting for a few weeks, your glycogen stores will be grabbing at anything they can to keep your blood sugars rocking along. So this is the crucial time for you to keep doing what has been working so far - don't cave in and definitely don't give up! It's only a matter of time until you start getting continuous losses if you continue on with a good healthy eating and exercise regime.]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 18:59:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1381985&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1381985 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1381670&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1381670 Author: MAC35

Hey MaeBeebaby, thanks for the tips. Weigh in today disappointing but if anything the exercise this last week has helped me mentally. Weigh in up 300 grams. Nevermind, although truly gutted. Will keep slogging away at it, and avoid alcohol and ice cream. I do feel a bit more toned. Was doing well until the weekend really then, my every 3 hr eating plan went out the window. Will try the no carbs after lunch. All the best girls.

My biggest tip for anyone trying to lose weight is not to eat carbs after lunch - try it for a few days of having no rice/pasta/potato/pumpkin/kumara etc etc for dinner - just stick with meat and veges - you will find you don't crave that 'something else' after dinner. The carbs will spike your blood sugars making you crave something sweet, plus inhibit your weight loss cause you can't burn them as you sleep. Truly! My nutritionist told me this, and also if you can get hold of 'Accidentally Overweight' by Dr Libby Weaver it also confirms this theory.]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:58:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1381550&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1381550 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1381549&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1381549 Author: MaeBeeBaby

Hi Trouble, sorry to tell you but pumpkin is really high in carbs so you might want to reconsider! A really good high protein lunch is chicken, salad, chickpeas, viniagrette, avocado. If you are vegetarian, substitute chicken for tofu (the harder stuff). Also if you are not dairy intolerant, go for a bit of feta as well, and a sprinkling of LSA (linseed/sunflower/almond ground up).

And quit bananas - also very high in carbs! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

I use www.myfitnesspal.com which works like WW online, but is free. It's great for 'showing up' how much protein/carb/fat/sugar is in a food item. ]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:55:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1381549&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1381549 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1381245&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1381245 Author: MAC35

Posting for Accountability. Weigh in tomorrow and the scales have been yo yo ing. Today not overly impressed but know that I have lost something, just not as much as I would like. I have taken it easy and not been too strict. Hence the x2 indian meals this week and the ice cream x2 and the 2 beers and x2 wines. But overall feeling like I am making progress. I need to be kind to me first, and grieve. Taking away further enjoyment like the wine with friends is not gonna cut it. I have been for 2.5 hours are walking and done 1.5 hours of exercise videos. I have done more around the house in a week than I have done in a month, so I guess the IVF drugs are wearing off. Have good food in fridge for this week so it all engine blasting. Whatever I weight tomorrow, its a start, and am going to try not to beat myself up about it and starve myself which is my natural reaction. Walking is going to turn into running from next week which will help. Hold me to this girls out there.

Hope everyone else is reaching there goals and having fun doing it.--Mac xox

Hey all

Your WW journeys seem to be going well. I have been tracking along have lost another 2 kg so have lost around 8 kg all up - have 10kg to get to goal. I have been following WW propoints but am a bit slack at measuring my food. I try to have good breakfast home made soup for lunch with no bread (homemade vegie or pumpkin soup). My acupuncturist told me I need to eat more protein at lunchtime so have been making pumpkin soup with red lentils in as well. Afternoon I will cut up fruit eg passionfruit, banana, pear or kiwifruit and have low fat low sugar yoghurt with it which will take me through to dinner. I find that yoghurt in afternoon helps with sugar cravings. Now the weather is nicer over here means I can start to go for walks in weekend or after work once daylight savings kicks in. I find going through IVF really stuffs your body up as well. We are planning on doing another cycle in september/october so trying to get ready for that as well. I have found less bloating due to cutting out tea and only having 1 cup per day and rest herbal teas. Keep up the good work you guys.]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:49:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1379470&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1379470 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1379195&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1379195 Author: MAC35

Okay so I am feeling pretty rotten at the moment and eating what I want when I want it to stuff down the pain of our 2nd IVF cycle being over with no result. I have gained 7 kgs since February and in total I feel I am atleast 15kg overweight!

I hate me and my body and lately it is getting tough to enjoy shopping or going out because my Belly is bigger than it ever been before and I am not pregnant Damn it! I am embarassed I have got this overweight.

I am planning 3rd cycle for Jan/Feb so that gives me 6 months to shed something that is not helping my pregnancy chances and not helping me as a person.

Tischler we talked about coffee, I am considering going back on it to help with appetite suppression as I am just so hungry these days, its out of your system in 24 hrs and perhaps will stop in Novemeber again??

So that is me, I will put up my Lily Slim so i can be accountable. Tischler and anyone else I will cheerlead you once more, I was on this page a while back but whilst doling IVF which I don't think helped.]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:11:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1379188&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1379188 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1376346&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1376346 Author: MaeBeeBaby

Hi everyone, I haven't posted for ages so thought I would let you know where I am at with my weight-loss journey.

I started the new WW Pro-points plan and it was not for me. I was sticking to the points religiously, keeping a food diary, and gaining weight, around 300 grams a week. After 3 weeks I rung WW cause my leader was less than supportive due to having 3 meetings integrate into 1 after the quake in February, I think she was majorly overpopulated LOL. Anyway, WW and I had a wee chat, and they told me that I should stop exercising as it was that making me gain weight - WTF! I had eaten all the exercise points they had recommended, and yet the week I didn't I gained 600 gms. Go figure... plus I couldn't stomach any.more.food!

So I went to a dietician and kept a food diary for a week that had me not just keeping what I ate and how much, but when, and any symptoms. Clearly, after looking at this diary, I was gluten-intolerant, dairy-intolerant, and needed to get more protein into my diet. Plus I wasn't eating regularly enough.

I was then put onto a high-protein low-carb, no-sugar, no-gluten, no-dairy diet for 30 days (a really good book to read to back this up is 'Accidentally Overweight' by Dr Libby Weaver). My system was cleared of gluten, dairy, and sugar, and I felt so much better. I increased my 3 RPM classes to 5 a week, added in 2 personal training sessions, and would you believe that I have been doing this since April and have only lost a mere 6kgs? BUT I have gone down 2 sizes in clothing, now in size 16 jeans and 'Large' tops instead of XXL, and look like I have lost about 20kgs LOL! I was measuring myself daily for the 30 day detox and I lost 10cms off most parts of my body - mostly being waist/thighs/chest. Hips only lost 2cms but they are beginning to subside now.

So instead of beating yourself up over losing weight and spending money funding WW and any other diet fad, go to a nutritionist/dietician and see what they have to say. It has saved me a lot of money, I have spent a total of $160 with just 4 appointments, 2 weeks apart, and have been 'solo flight' now for 2 months, and still going strong.

I have been using the gym as an 'outlet' for any stresses and worries and it has worked amazingly. I eat pretty much whatever I want as long as it's sugarless (I check the labels even on tomato pasta sauces!), low carb, and high protein, plus I eat no less than every 3 hours, even if it's just a handful of nuts. I eat a whole food diet, no processed foods, and pretty much just meat/fish/veges/salad/nuts. I don't count calories and I don't count Points!

The biggest tip I can give you - it only works if you stick to it .]]> Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:18:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1376314&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1376314 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1354592&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1354592 Author: tischler

That's great Orca - the genetic testing sounds interesting, might run that past my FS tomorrow!

My DH always beats me with weight loss - you really can't compare with them as it's a known fact that men lose weight easier than women! I have PCOS so that makes it even more of a mission to beat him.

I have been lucky to have a GP with a good handle on PCOS. She has quickly put me on medications to manage my weight - metformin and spironolactone which has helped me immensely. In addition to this, I have tried to eat low GI (as close to the source as possible and eliminating processed foods) and have been regularly exercising. I did enjoy dark chocolate.

I really found doing that beneficial and I felt so much better, hence I am going to get back on the band wagon again very soon, as I know if I feel better I'll find the motivation to get back to the gym!!!

Remember though - any weight loss is a good loss, and a steady way to lose weight (to keep it off) is apparently between 300-500g - so bang on the mark!!! ]]> Tue, 28 Jun 2011 19:17:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1354592&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1354592 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1354513&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1354513 Author: Orca1

Thanks Tischler. You have done so well, I would be interested to hear what you have been doing to get such great results!   Your recent purchase sounds very nice.

DH and I had our first weigh in yesterday and did terribly!! I lost 300g and he lost 400g.   I tried to console myself by saying at least its a loss but its is pretty slack and he beat me which was annoying!!!

Anyway back on track now. Went to my FS yesterday and we are going to do a cycle of IVF and will have genetic testing done on any embroys to make sure that the "fittest" are chosen to be implanted. I have a lot reading to do but I feel the most positive I have in a long time!]]> Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:11:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1354513&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1354513 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1354502&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1354502 Author: tischler

Hi Orca - welcome back. I'm still hanging around here! Sorry to hear of your recent news Hope your FS had some suggestions for where to from here? We have our review tomorrow ....

An update from me, well I've put on 500g but not surprised at all. I have returned to a hinkering (? hunkering - not sure of the right word here) for salt and vinegar chips, V and coffee and it's not good for me. My plan to overcome this is as of 1 July. I CAN DO IT!!

I did still go shopping yesterday, and this time I've bought a short black merino dress .... very 'sexy' according to DH. Goes really well with my boots (which I hardly have off my feet - soooo good). I'm going to have to be game when I wear it, but it feels good and I know I look great, and will look even better with the 500g down and more. What better motivation huh?

Hope everyone else is doing well with their goals - WE CAN DO IT!! ]]> Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:52:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1354502&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1354502 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1351708&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1351708 Author: Orca1

Hi ladies

I would like to rejoin this thread. I was on here ages ago and since then have had two BFP which sadly both ended in m/c. We have an appointment with our specialist on Monday and have been doing some research on what options might be available to us. I don't want my weight to be an issue and I really need to get motivated and have something else to focus on so here I am back again. DH is on board this time as well so I hope some friendly competition will help!

I have read a few pages and remember some names from last time I was on here and wanted to say congratulations on the amazing weight loss you have had!! Hopefully some of that will rub off on me!]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 11:28:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1351708&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1351708 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1349757&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1349757 Author: ScaredyCat

Wow, your doing fantastic Tischler, only 400g through an IVF cycle with all the ups and downs, thats very impressive, well done!

Thanks re your message re cholesterol levels, I've decided I'm not going to worry about it for now, am going to continue to try and lose this extra weight, get transfer done, and worry about it after bubs arrives (positive thinking )

Trouble, sounds like you are doing fantastic too, very impressed with the 1kg a week loss, thats awesome, go you! ]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2011 09:11:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1349757&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1349757 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1349634&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1349634 Author: trouble06

Hey all

I weighed myself earlier and about 78kg which was down a bit from week before considering I have had last 5 days in NZ eating kiwi food seems to be going ok. back at the gym from tomorrow and back on the weight loss train. Still being doing WW unlimited and will aim for loss of around 1kg per week before we start next stim cycle.

Also weighing on the scales differs depend on time of day, fluid retention etc so very easy to put on kg or two.

Good luck to all others.]]> Sun, 19 Jun 2011 20:46:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1349634&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1349634 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1349627&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1349627 Author: tischler

Hi girls,

Sorry for the delay, was supposed to weigh in on Friday, but forgot so have just done it tonight. So over the course of this IVF cycle, I've put on 400g. I'm so pleased with that, considering each previous cycle was 5kg!

It should make it easier to get back on track pretty well. I have 4kg to go til my initial goal .... so doing okay.

Scaredy - I find cholesterol levels random. I know really healthy people who have terrible levels and obese people whose levels are good. There's a hell of a lot of hereditary-ness in the cholesterol and for those people there just doesn't seem to be anyway diet and exercise helps - some just need to go straight to meds.

Rosie - don't worry about the 6kg - different scales and everything. When you feel you're ready to, we'll be here to support you in moving on with weight loss.

I'm going to go back to the gym this week after not being there for 4-5 weeks. Eeek! They have rung to ask me why I've been missing (and I wasn't home to take the call) ..... I think I'll book a weigh in so I can talk to whoever does it and tell them on the quiet where things are at, and that way they won't all hassle me and will give me some space.

Remember - "We can do it" ]]> Sun, 19 Jun 2011 20:41:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1349627&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1349627 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1348513&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1348513 Author: ScaredyCat

Well done quieteyes, what a fantastic loss! Go you!

I too need to get back on the band wagon and get motivated again!

I just had my cholesterol levels checked and they are sky high! Anybody have any ideas on how to reduce this, it brasses my off a wee bit, we hardly eat any takeaways and fast food, and yet still my levels are so high, have tried everything the Naturopath has told me to try and it just keeps going up! Grrr!

Anyway, I still think excerise is my main downfall and I need to move my butt some more! Still in a bit of pain from EC which was over two weeks ago now and everytime I do a bit extra I end up bleeding, am so over it right now!

Well done to you both Tischler and Trouble, thats a great result!

Can't say the same unfort, DP finally bought our scales back home and have put on about 3 kg since starting our IVF cyle, so very annoyed about that. Although I am hoping some of it is just excess fluid from EC, weighed myself this morning and down .5kg from last night, fingers crossed it keeps heading down!]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 12:12:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1336546&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1336546 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1336495&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1336495 Author: trouble06

Hey all

Have been pretty slack on the WW front lately. Mixture of things including been away on sat mornings over the past 4 weeks although looked in my WW book and last weigh in beginning of april was 82.9 and currently weighing 79.8 and have not been to the gym in that time although will get back there later this week.

Hoping to lose another 6 kg or so by the time we do another stim cycle in July sometime. I know when i was doing the puregon nightly injections I did not have energy to get to the gym.

Good luck to all on the weight loss front.]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 10:54:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1336495&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1336495 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1336241&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1336241 Author: tischler

OMG - so slack, it's been another 2 weeks since weigh in, but I'm happy to say I've lost another 500g during that time eating very very poorly.

I'm so pleased with this cycle though (not the results) but the fact that I haven't put on 5kg during it like I did with the previous too ..... This could be seen as positive (maybe the weight loss will lead to BFP) or negative (when I was chubbier I got better numbers).

Oh it's a crazy world we live in!!

Well, today I cracked out the WII Fit... It had great pleasure in telling me I hadnt used it for 122 days... OOPS!!!
No wonder hubby says it was a waste of money... LOL!

Anyways, plan to use it for half an hour each day that I dont work, as my work is quite physical (cleaning motels) so I kinda see that as exercise but I only work a couple of days a week.

Hi Balcy - welcome!! Of course you can join. Re: BMI for IVF - I'm sure 31.9 is fine. I think it has to be 32 or under and at one stage I was 32.3 (or similar) and that was okay with them (was just told not to put more weight on). I don't think they allow you 'on' the waitlist if it's not in an appropriate range. I understand about the desire to lose more though - Good Luck!!

AFM - sorry forgot to update you all. Man, these drugs are playing with my brain! My memory is gone. Anyway, after all the sugar cravings etc I am stunned to say my weight hasn't changed in 2 weeks. I've been eating like cr*p, no idea how I've pulled this off (again).

So, all good on my front, but feeling very guilty, and just thinking about how much I could lose if I did my low GI eating and went to the gym more frequently.

Is it just me or is it really hard to find the energy for the gym when doing the IVF drugs ..... last time I went it took me 2 days to recover!

Hope you're all doing well ]]> Mon, 16 May 2011 08:47:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1326822&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1326822 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1326695&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1326695 Author: balcy1

I'm aiming to keep my weight this way until our first IVF in Nov.

Tonight i have been a bit naughty and binged on chocolate, but if i don't do it every now and then I would have gone crazy a long time ago.

I recently brought Zumba to use with my Wii and its actually really fun - even tho i'm very unco ... lol

I haven't weighed myself for long time now as DP took scales to workshop and they are yet to come back!! I been doing plenty of excerise with hired bike and quite enjoying it now. Eating well has been a bit hit and miss but on the whole not too bad!

Day 1 for me today for 2nd round, so not sure how well the eating and excerise will be over next few weeks

Hope you all enjoy your Easter (and eggs too!)

I have been a bit naughty the last week or so and have had things on so havent been to weigh in. Think have lost 1kg over last 2.5 weeks so not too bad at least the scales are going in the right direction. As they said at WW the other day this is a gradual journey so is okay to have small losses.

Scales terrible have updated ticker. I have just been so hungry and so tired. I have not eaten too much bad food, but quantity out of control, Have not exercised for a week so up the scales go. I am trying to just relax and in fact I am relaxed about weigh gain also.

A girl cannot do everything and I have done many other things this week which I am proud of. Need to just lay off the carbs. Back to the drawing board. Healthy snack choices and ensuring I am not just craving or dehydrated versus hungry. Need to drink more water too. Happy emotional eating lately..................

GO girls go! Cheerleading as always and often the biggest offender - lol. Well done Rosie with weight loss, inspirational and you too Tisch. Quiet eyes good luck with your program, i so know emotional eating.

It is sure is a hard balance, for me slim and happy but the stress it causes to get there and maintain it??? Overweight, not happy?? What do others think.

Hello ladies, evryone seems to be doing great. Well done everyone.

I went to weigh in today - wasnt going too, as I havent been doing much exercise AT ALL. Pleased I did though

lost 500gm in 2 weeks (missed weigh in last week), so total loss 4.2kg, I am stoked slow but steady

I am not sleeping too well at moment, going to bed and getting to sleep ok, but wake up about 3am and cant seem to get back to sleep - my highlight of lieing in bed is listening to DH sleep so cute , cant get up and do anything he will hear me and worry about me.    ]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2011 15:37:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1309235&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1309235 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1308091&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1308091 Author: trouble06

I too am the same - have noticed differences but not necess as much on the scales. Around 81.8 - 82 at the mo. Hoping to keep on loosing for the next couple of weeks. Did yoga last week as well as some cardio/weights etc. My acupunct said if my body is feeling tired just to take it easy at the gym - hoping to have FET in next week or so so will listen to her sound advice and take on board. My eating is pretty healthy just need to get portion sizes under control. have a good week all.]]> Sun, 17 Apr 2011 21:11:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1308091&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1308091 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1307999&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1307999 Author: Quieteyes

Rosie & tischler: you are doing brilliantly!! And omg losing weight while doing a cycle - my hat is off to you!

Managed to lose 4kg since my op 3 weeks ago, but thursday my mood dropped and I ended up bailing out of attending a friend's baby shower. I just couldn't cope with the thought of all the happy baby-ness of it. Lost it when shopping for the gift, ended up going home and just bawling... And then comfort eating so now am up a bit    

I have the intro session for my program tomorrow, and officially go onto the food substitute in 3 weeks.   Very much looking forward to it!

Planning a trip to canada in 2 months... Want to be smaller for that flight, and so hope to have some good losses in the first month of the program. Hope to keep losing in the meantime too. ]]> Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:14:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1307999&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1307999 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1307948&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1307948 Author: MAC35

I yo yo ing. Not loosing weight because exercise and stuffing my face but not putting any on. Ran 25 kms last week and did three classes. I can see it in my shape but not the scales. not looking forward to walking versus running from this week onwards. Suzanne has said I should stop.

Thanks Tischler - I was making an extra point of walking. I would like to lose at least 3 - 5 more kgs.

I know when you are pg you are likely to put on up to 15kg. That scares me. Ekkk

Way to go Tischler awesome loss.

I didnt go to weigh in this week, had had enough of travelling, have been up to Dunedin 4 times since last friday.

When they weighed my EC day I had had a loss, so was feeling pretty good, but wont count that.

When I signed up to WW they said that they didnt like us doing WW when were were pregnant, so not sure what to do there, but I also feel as long as I am watching what I eat it will be ok, besides I know where I F up IYKWIM.

Yay for day 1. Good luck. xx]]> Sat, 16 Apr 2011 08:20:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1307325&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1307325 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1307137&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1307137 Author: tischler

I did lose 900g this week though, so that is fab. I'm soooo happy I've just gone under a pretty big milestone for me, so never to go back!

Hey all - another 800g down which is good for me. Only managed to get to the gym twice. I agree reward yourself with something other than junk food. I also agree with preparing food before you leave home and have snacks at work that you know the kj content of so you dont end up going to the snack machine. I always have rice crackers, rice cakes, tuna, cottage cheese, smoked salmon and ryvita crackers at work and or in fridge. makes more low kj lunch options when you are too busy to go and get anything.

Have a good day all.]]> Sat, 09 Apr 2011 10:37:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1302884&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1302884 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1302843&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1302843 Author: rosiefarmer

HI Tischler - yay you are right a loss is a loss. Would it be because your AF is on the way?? not much of a loss. I often find the weeke before I dont seem to lose weight.

Try and prepare food before you leave home - my big suggestion for the week.

I often take a couple of apple with me if I am not going to be home for lunch, cuts my hunger in half, and lots of water.

Have a good week. xx]]> Sat, 09 Apr 2011 09:03:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1302843&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1302843 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1302716&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1302716 Author: tischler

Please send me motivation to get back on track this week. I've been out doing home visits for work so instead of preparing good food and eating it on the run, I've popped in to the dairy

Fantastic work Quieteyes and Rosiefarmer - wahooo! Good to see you're both getting positive's at the mo too. I bet showering again was AMAZING quieteyes! Rosie - yay for Charlie being all clear

Also trouble - well done to you too!

We're all doing so good - we deserve a treat or two (massage, facial, NOT junk food).

Mac35 - thanks for your thoughts re: boots. I know there's probably a lot of people out there that understand, but it really feels like you're the only one in the world when you get disappointment after disappointment at the shoe shop.

My willpower has also gone skew-if at the mo Mac35 - gosh it's hard isn't it! I think I'm also waiting for AF so eating like it's the week before (Day 44 for me). Have just done a BT though so hope to find out what's going on and when I can get into things.

Hey all

Hope everyone is doing well on the weight loss front. I lost another 700g this week which I was pleased about. I am determiend to be at the gym most nights this week. I make a big batch of healthy pumpkin soup in the weekend pretty much low points so take that for lunch most days with no bread which seems to fill me up.

Have 10kg to go to be at the top of the healthy range for WW so I am determined to lose that in the next 3 months or so. I notice I have changed my eating habits and portion sizes and am better in relation to food choices that I put into my mouth.

Way to go Tischler awesome loss - good luck with the dress buying. My DH doesnt mind going clothes shopping with me, but he also knows when I have had enough LOL and thats usually before I manage to actually buy something.

Way to go Quieteyes also - awesome loss for you , just make sure you rest this weekend and dont over do it, I am a bugger for trying to do too much after surgery - think I am feeling ok but at the end of the day (Not usually) set me back nearly 6 weeks once (I did some major pruning in the garden) can just say dr wasnt impressed when DH took me back.

Mac - we all have bad weeks, at least you got AF to point the finger at. LOL.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I have been good this week and walked nearly every day so feeling pretty good. Hairdresser also reckoned I had lost heaps of weight since I have seen her last (about 3 months ago) so that was a major for me - when someone notices. ]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2011 09:37:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1297923&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1297923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1297744&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1297744 Author: MAC35

Hey Rosie Farmer, Tischler, Quiet Eyes scarycat, trouble.

Tishler I so am excited that you got excited and totally understand, my mother the most beautiful women in the world BTW and like a best friend was not blessed with slim calves but can shop up a storm and over the years and our shopping trips she has always got upset with gorgeous boots not fitting. So rock on, celebrate this awesome moment.

Well done for everyone courage and determination and weight loss lately

I have had a naughty week using 'week before AF" as excuse and now it hasn't come grrgh. Additionally DH has been a little to pointed with his comments which ahs made me rebel, I know he means well. Well what can I say which is honest, I have been bad and loved it. I just needed to be bad to feel normal instead of this person controlled. Does that make sense?

DO NOT READ THIS IF IN CHRISTCHURCH AND HAVE NO WILL POWER. This will help anyone here with as low will power as mine right now but the Raspberry slice and Chai Lattes at Taste 20 in Christchurch Rock. God I hope this does not identify me to my local cafe owners.

Back into it on Monday - kick class and imaginary people lights about to be knocked out. Leaving wallet at home. That will sort the will power.

OMG girls - I just have to share - I'm just soooooo excited and I have no one else to tell!

I have just put on a pair of black leather knee high boots WHICH GO AROUND MY CALVES! Wahhoooo

I was very nervous as I bought them online from a place in the States but they fit like a glove! Never in my life have I found black leather boots to do this - it is the most exciting amazing experience EVER!

{jumps around and around the house in boots}

Sorry, totally unrelated to weight loss but hey - I know some of you have been with me on the disappointing boot shopping thing.

Take care!]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:21:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1296789&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1296789 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1296100&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1296100 Author: rosiefarmer

Sounds a good plan Quieteyes .
Sorry to hear that they found another problem, but at least they can fix it hopefully. Been there done that with lap dye procedures, more than once.

Rosie: doing the optifast program through the hospital. They engage you in a 2 year program with regular group and 1:1 sessions, and really help you suss out why weight has gotten out of control. Overseen by diabetes docs, and the consultant who met me was thrilled I was starting the program before I experienced complications from my weight.

Thanks for the well-wishes! The op went well, but the in-op dye/xray showed another problem, so another procedure in 2-3 weeks they reckon. Very tired and sore today. ]]> Wed, 30 Mar 2011 14:30:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1295943&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1295943 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1295225&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1295225 Author: rosiefarmer

Hey ScaredyCat - what a good idea hiring the equipment.

Also good luck with our surgey Quieteyes I also hope it all goes well for you. What is the plan they are putting you on? if you dont mind me asking.

Injections are going well for me so far on to my 2nd day. I am doing microdose flare - very fast protocol - start gonal f injections tomorrow and 1st bloodtest on the 4th with scan on the 8th - no for sure hopefully that day when egg collection will be, they have said probably 11 or 12th, guess we just have to wait and see with that -

Weigh day today lost 200 gms so total loss is 3 kgs. WW weigh lady said I am doing very well.....I not really happy with only 200gms, but a loss is a loss and its been a tough sort of week - didnt help when DH brought home KFC chicken....they other day.

Have a good week ladies. ]]> Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:57:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1295225&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1295225 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1295004&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1295004 Author: ScaredyCat

Hey ladies, thanks very much for your replies re the gym and how to make time!! I did make enquiries at our local gym the other day but we have decided to hire either a treadmill or excercyle and will see how that goes.

A few years ago we rushed out a bought a rower only to find it gives me a sore back and my partner has crook knees from dislocating them so that now sits in the garage collecting dust so thought hiring the gear might be a good way to find out which is most likely to get used!

Well done to you ladies on the weight loss!!

Good luck for your surgery Quieteyes, hope it goes well!

Yah for starting drugs soon Tischler, exciting times ahead for you, hope AF doesn't take too long to find you!

Hope the injections are going good as can be Rosiefarmer, what type of protocol are you doing?

Finally got the word that my weight loss program intake begins 18 April. Finally!!!!

Having surgery today... So figure I should be in reasonable form to really engage in the program in another 3weeks and get ahead! Two chicks at work are doing it - one is 47kg down, the other 12kg and continuing. So proud of them both, they just needed the right tools and supports. A bit peeved though, the clinic told me 3 years ago they were going to refer me to this program, and they didnt. Yay for GP's who listen eh?

Now if only I could sleep! Been up since 2, thirsty as, but being "starved" for the op ]]> Tue, 29 Mar 2011 04:53:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1294901&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1294901 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1293023&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1293023 Author: rosiefarmer

Hello,

Way to go Tischler a loss is a loss .

I had weigh day on Tuesday - finally got a bit of time to post here, lost 1 kg, so total loss since starting back at WW is 2.8 kg.

I have been for a few good walks lately and am feeling really good. I was talking to my friend the other day and she made me feel really good NOT last time I got to this weight I got stuck....LOL all the more reason for getting stuck into WW...although it is a big help actually writing down what you eat....

Was a tad naughty yesterday - had a chocolate munch....grrr liked it at the time but felt real guilty after....needless to say had a lovely big points free salad for tea last night. .

Not long till you start by the sound of it Tischler. I start my injections on Monday .

Have a nice weekend everyone. ]]> Sat, 26 Mar 2011 08:29:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1293023&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1293023 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1292821&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1292821 Author: tischler

Hi gals - TGIF!! Just did my weigh in - I can see why you shouldn't check more than once a week - you can go up and down like a yoyo!!!

300g loss for me this week - happy with that overall as the last month has been bad. Going to the acupuncturist has really given me the motivation to get back on the right track ..... we agreed that we have to see the positives in our lives post-earthquake not worry about what we can't control.

So right back into it before drugs start - though I . WON'T . LET . THE . WEIGHT . GO . BACK . ON

Just waiting for AF to arrive now - silly witch never arrives when you want her to!!!!!!!!!!

I usually walk about 6 kms when I go for a walk .

Today hasnt been a complete loss, I decided to take advantage of this lovely weather while (Still) waiting for my phonecall and have brushed cobwebs off my house and washed some outside windows. Phone sitting outside on a seat - hasnt rang all day.

Hi - I used to be the same with the gym etc. I find what suits me is going after work - I get home get changes and drive down there (2 min down road). I usually there for about 1 - 1.15 and then home by about 7.30. I am not a morning person so struggle to get there before work. I also have some good funky music on the ipod which also helps. I usually go to the gym 4-5 times a week including yoga/pilates class.

I also figure if I am only at gym for 35 min say then I would work hard out on cross trainer for say 25 min and then run on tradmill for 10 min and at least I had a good workout.

For those of you living on a farm - think walks are good you would probably be surprised how much distance you cover.

My weaknesses used to be snacks during the day - DH would always seems to be munching on chips and chocolate!! I now have rice crackers when he has cheaps and other weakness is cheese!!]]> Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:49:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1289315&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1289315 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1289307&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1289307 Author: rosiefarmer

Hey ScaredyCat,

I also live on a farm, and I also find it really hard to get out - always seems something else that needs doing. Like today lovely day and I am waiting for a phonecall, cant transfer to cell phone as we have poor to no cellphone coverage here. Other days DH got stuff he wants me to do so never seems enough time for ME. I usually try to go for walks 1st thing after milking in the morning - gets my energy levels up for the day. I was also doing alot of bike riding which I was doing after afternoon milkings, buts its getting colder and darker earlier so finding that hard to do also.
Would love to go to gym but we live 40 mins out of town.

At the end of the day I just need to say NOPE I going for walk be with you in 40 mins.....But finding that real hard at mo...

Have a good week everyone. ]]> Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:38:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1289307&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1289307 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1289296&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1289296 Author: ScaredyCat

Hey ladies, you are all doing so well, very impressed!!

My wheels have completely fallen off and have no one to blame but myself, I was doing so well too, so am really peeved off! I lost 5kg quite quickly with a detox and have now put back on 1kg, grrr!

Oh well back on the band wagon again now, my biggest fault is lack of excerise and we live on a farm so I have no excuses except for a lack of time. How do you all make time for excerise?

I work from home which I think is really my problem as I get in my office and end up staying in there all day until late and then when my partner gets home its time to make dinner, feed all the animals etc and then I'm too tired to bother with doing anything. I think I need to force myself out of the house and perhaps drive to a gym or something? I see a few of you go to the gym, how often do you go?

Sorry for the novel, I am looking for inspiration!]]> Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:29:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1289296&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1289296 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1289295&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1289295 Author: trouble06

Hi guys - now down to 82.4 so not bad at all. I went for a long walk on saturday in city - perfect plan I think shopping and walking ... back to the gym tonight and hoping to get most nights after work this week.

I have been good with lunches as well - tend to have smoked salmon in the packs with rvita crackers cottage cheese and tomatoes or lettuce - salmon is really low in points and works at around 5 propoints or so for 3 crackers with the works on for lunch. with WW PP now you get 29 per day so quite a bit really.

Over here in aussie too I am enjoying the greater selection of WW nestle yoghurt products - in NZ wasnt that many too choose from.

Hi guys, unable to manage to weigh this week due to being away. Did sneak a peek on Thursday and no change and then snuck a peek after eating everything I wanted over the weekend and it's up ...... not going to analyse it though, had a fab weekend and well back on track for a much better week ahead. (The last month has been so wrong - earthquake etc, so low GI it is from tomorrow).

Good work Trouble and Rosie keep it up!! -

I will weigh in and be honest with you guys re: my exact weight Friday!]]> Sun, 20 Mar 2011 20:11:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1289073&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1289073 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1288849&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1288849 Author: MAC35

Hi all - weigh in went well have lost 2.1 kg in first week and will see how I go this saturday. Been to the gym tonight and think the x trainer and treadmill are doing something ..

I find the meetings better than doing it online - I like the informastion at the meetings and also info about food to cook etc.
I also like the etracker as well on WW.

Off to have a green tea - I am also hoping cutting back on decaf coffee and teas are making a difference as well.

Hoping to get to 79 or so in next fortnight.

Have a good week.]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:59:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1286892&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1286892 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37167&PID=1285510&title=weight-loss-for-ivf#1285510 Author: rosiefarmer

Weigh day for me today, lost 1.8kg, feel good bout that, but feeling really flat today. Been rushing around all morning, milked 5am, truck guy came to fix brakes, DH had to rush off for an hr, another guy came to test some water, builder here still, DH finally got back and then I rushed off to my WW meeting picked up a couple of things in town, got home - DH on farm somewhere - found him, had a wee catch up, home now and its lunch time, DH wont be back till later this arvo, DH mum coming to visit soon, cows to milk at 3. hrmmm,

Think I am going to be pleased when I get to bed tonight.

Have a great week everyone x

Hi all

Hope weigh in went well Trouble, melbourne and my mouth are in unity, the food options are amazing and too yummy to resist!

I know the earthquake munchies well Tischler, I feel I have to exercise more than ever for sanity and because I cannot resist naughty food lately. I have been very naughty with food, and have eaten all I was not allowed to whilst doing treatment in double quantities. I cannot find cream bun but am craving one.

Having said that I am looking forward and have been to the gym 5 times this week and have burnt 2251 calories and run or walked 25 km. I got myself a polar watch to prick my conscience and its great.

The scales read this am that I am now 80.6 so a lost of 1kg. It was probably fluid from IVF cycle but I am pleased. Off to Wellington this week for work which has Cityfitness gym just up road from office so no excuses.

I have found WW really good in the past hope its working for you ladies.

See you next week. Keep up the good work lovely ladies.

Good work Trouble - sounds like you're well on track. 400g loss for me this week. Has been another bad week of V and chocolate. Hmmm. Bl**dy earthquake & aftershocks. I'm sure this bad eating must catch up on me soon though ...

so . have . to . get . it . together . and . be . good!

I hope WW works well for all of you who've joined up.

Mac35 - how are you going? For all you've been through it is completely normal to have been where you're at!! I hope you are managing to look forward
