I'm just going to tell you all I had a bad week. I went camping for 4 days with 4 other families so it was like a 4 day party.

I tried to be good most of the time but I did drink and had way too many carbs with dinners. So I weighed in on my app before we went and I won't re weigh until next Sunday. So this week is a bust for me. But realistically I know that not everyday is going to be good so I'm ok with that.

What I don't like about my 4 day gluttonfest is how I feel. My fingers are like sausages I'm tired and my stomach is off.

I am going to drink a ton if water the next few days and hopefully get rid of all the crap that is in my body.

I hope everyone else had a good week

I'm sorry to chime in so late but I'm glad the shot was painless. I'm wishing you all the luck in the world on Saturday! Fingers, toes and everything else crossed!!

Hi everyone. I've been so lethargic about posting this week. I dunno why.

@hooligans4: It sounds like you've had a fresh start. That's always most important. I just try to look forward when I have times of weakness.

@soontobeshrader: how are things going for you?

I have been so-so about picking my face. I'm in the FW this week, and I've just been really super anxious about doing the OPKs and trying to have sex. The OPKs always come back negative and I usually O by CD14 (in the past). I feel like I've boarded the bus to Crazytown. It is worse than the 2WW, in my opinion. So it hasn't been my best week, but I'm trying. 

I have given DH some space to our own TTC detriment. Tonight is really important though. It's going to be a fine line between informing and nagging. How do you all initiate during the FW? 

Today I took DS to the toddler open gym and I realized that it was really good for us to get out of the house so I wouldn't fixate on the gravity of the time in my cycle. So I'm going to try to get my mind off of everything. Thanks for listening.

Hi @URMySunshine77. Thanks for asking. Just to clarify...that post of mine above was SUPPOSED to be on the thread about @BeckyP005 DE transfer. Not sure HOW it ended up here! Weird!

I'm doing ok. It's definitely a rough road when life gets in the way. We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary so it was a reason to cheat and have brownies & ice cream. But was it really a good reason? So I'm back on the wagon but DH just pointed out that we are going out of town next week. My cousin is graduating college and there is a party. Will I be able to eat only the healthy stuff and resist the goodies? Probably not. 

I guess the one good thing is that I am not gaining. I'm not losing either...but not gaining is important too!

Good luck to you all!

@soontobeshrader‌ lol. Its early!! Happy 2nd Anniversary!!!

I have zilch to report. At least you girls are trying!!! I see how my boss is so strict about her diet and I say....why can't I do that!!! No willpower and maybe I just don't care enough right now So when I start bitching about my clothes being tight point me to this thread. Lol

hooligans4

@BeckyP005 I want your clothes to he getting tight because your DE IVF is successful!!!!!

@URMySunshine77 I'm glad you got out of the house for a bit to get your mind off things. I agree that FW is stressful. Especially when your partner isn't on board. I'm always jealous of the woman who have partners that will have sex whenever they ask. Try initiating when you get to bed. What ever turns him on the most, do it!!!!!

Good luck tonight!!!!!

@soontobeshrader happy anniversary!!!!

When you go away to the graduation try and make healthier choices. It's impossible to be 100% good when you are away. But you also can't be 100% bad. Just keep remembering that you want to loose 25lbs by the summer. When we went camping I ate great breakfast and lunch but lightened up for dinner. I still didn't pig out but I ate some things I normally wouldn't have. So I feel like I had a good balance.

I hope you have a good time away.

*siggy warning- loss and child mentioned*

Hi Ladies- I'm new to this board and did an intro last night.  I saw this check-in and thought this might be a great place for me to jump in. 

My big focus right now is trying to lose some weight and get back to a healthier life-style.  I had trouble losing weight after baby #1 and gained even more after my loss in August. 

I just joined WW two weeks ago (through a WW at work program) and I'm hoping this will really help by making me accountable weekly.

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Well I didn't lose weight on the scale but did lose inches on my vacation. Lots of walking...and the food is healthier that being said my H gained 5 lbs(wanted too...lol) I noticed since losing weight and getting healthier my positive o was way darker than the past months...looks like they did before son was born...hoping this means strong egg!

KirstenAlecia

Im starving and want something BAD……..its AF's fault. That B likes to make it hard on me to be good. Seriously considering eating something non low carb and Im grumpy cause i have no scale at the moment….i need to get a new battery for it…and its one of those weird circle battery types. 

vent over.

I didn't gain, I didn't lose so I guess it is even.  I wish someone would invent a pill that would allow you to eat all you want and it would just keep sending all the food out the "bottom."  This was we would never know cravings for something we really shouldn't eat.  I always have good intentions...

BeckyP005

@KirstenAlecia I just had the most awesome moist brownie with fudge icing! I shouldn't be proud of that!! Obviously I hid it from MH ) @thirtyninetoforty I want that pill too!!

Samuelismomma

I starve the week of o which is this week, so diet sucked.....oh well new week! Lol
