Anyone here over 200 pounds?

frustrated and ttc · March 2009

So, with my IVF coming up soon, i've been trying to eat less and take better care of myself. Not working so much. DH took me out for dinner at Red Robin(for those who don't know what this is...i feel for you) and of course i ate like a pig. I need to loose weight but it's just so hard sometimes. I'll be honest..i weigh 232. I've been taking my PNV and my metformin but the food just kicks my butt. Anyone here feel the same? I really need to loose some weight. Anyone with me? If so, how much and how do you think you'll go about it?

I need to lose weight. IF has really kicked my butt. I seem to gain more and more weight with every cycle. So yes I am now passed 200:< The ups and downs mostly downs of cycles really get me. I really need to start working out again. I used to go to the gym 4-5 days a week, but then got a boyfriend and a job and now a husband and I moved across town, so now I never go.

I want to start walking to and from work. I also want to start going back to the gym, I loved my step classes. I need to stop eating crap. I should actually read the Spark People emails I get.

I do like Red Robin, yummy garlic fries. We are meeting friends there Saturday.

Ohhh!! ME ME!!! ?I'm a tall girl (6'1) so even at my slimmest I was just around 200 pounds. ?Now....let's just say I've been eating for two for a while despite my lack of BFPs. ? I am WAY overweight and about to start my first IVF. ?My doctor hasn't said anything to me about needing to get to a smaller size though she has complimented my recent weight loss.

I'm trying to plan my meals and go to the gym on a regular basis. ?It has been working though I do admit to having a box of Enteman's doughnuts in my fridge that won't survive the week.

susan....

A food network girl AND over six feet? ?I think I love you.?

kgs0505 · March 2009

Yep... Me too. I'm thinking about getting a nutritionist thru my pcp. I promised myself that I would start going to the gym and focus on my physical health if this last cycle didn't work. At least my focus will be somewhere different for awhile.

I am Im right at 210.. and Im a shortie! 5'3. I've always been a little on the heavier side, but IF has definitely not helped. I tried WW, and Im being completely honest... I HATED it.. Right now, I'm trying to work out.. but not helping too much...

MZANS · March 2009

Me! ?I'm 220 and 5'4 ...I need to lose weight before IVF. I want to lose 30 lbs. ?

topofthemuffin2u · March 2009

Me too, I'm 5'5 and fluctuate between 203 - 210, I try hard but I'm not consistent enough to actually break into "onederland". Most weeks I'm really good from monday - thursday and then I blow it over the weekend. Before IF I was always around 1780, but the with the emotional ups and downs I tend to stop exercising and turn to food. I find that I overanalze everything, my doc told me not to do hot yoga during the 2ww and to not overheat my body so I've basically been exercising 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.

Did I mention I hate IF!!!

HarleyQ8 · March 2009

I am getting d@mn close to it. And I am a shorty, 5'4". I have gained 25 lbs since the wedding 3 years ago & 10 in the last year. Ugh. I have done South Beach before and done well but I havent been able to keep it up long term. Like PP, I do pretty good during the week but on the weekends...I let DH derail me...I admit, I dont put up much of a fight. As far as working out, I know where the gym Is, I just havent Visited in...well practically forever. I need to get my @ss in gear, per my RE. He will delay my cycle if I gain any more.

I was at 205 for the longest time, and weighed in at 199.6 yesterday... and shed a tear I was so happy LOL

I'm very thick and muscular, not I-ate-way-too-much-at-every-meal kind of overweight and my OB was always on me to lose the weight... and I just couldn't (not to say I couldn't stand to lose a few pounds, but I'd look funny with these gigantic quadreceps and a skinny little waist!!)

I won't lie, I haven't really changed anything drastic. I've tried to decrease my portions, eat small nutritious snacks throughout the day at my desk and for lunch I've been doing an OJ, yougurt and a protein bar instead of hitting up a take out place. And with that, I've lost about 5 lbs in 5 weeks. Not bad I guess for not really working out... which I plan to start doing more (walking everynight at least) now that its warmer here in New England.

Me. Embarrassed And I am a REAL shorty (5'1"). I really need to start exercising. I've been doing a little here and there, but it's not enough at all. It's just all the stress and BFNs really take their toll and eating and avoiding life seems to be the only thing that I can handle at times.

I want to try to lose at least 75 pounds when all is said and done, but I'm starting small with a goal of 20 pounds in 3 months.

marinabrideny · March 2009

I am pretty close and I am also a shortie (5'4"). Since I've been married I gained 15 Ibs. and honestly gained 25 lbs since meeting my husband (I won't even go into how much weight I've gained since college:-) Now I've lost 9 lbs since Jan. but I broke my toe approx 2 weeks ago which made it hard to work out. I start stims next week and I am little scared about the possibility of gaining weight. ?Fortunately I didn't gain anything back from my initial lost. I am focusing on my diet (ugh!!!) since I may not be able to do strenuous exercise once I start stims. I feel like I've been on this weight roller coaster for the majority of my adulthood. It definitely sucks. ?
