Ultimate goal: OK...so I am not stepping on a scale until next week...but I'm taking a guess here:
15 lbs would make me totally content and is my 3 week goal 30 lbs is my secret "if I can't have another baby at least I'm getting my body back completely" weight. This is my long term goal.
This week's goal: To stop eating like I'm pregnant and try to work out every day.
How are you doing so far? Today will be day 1 for me...so at least I'm super motivated.
Why are you working towards this goal? I want to be back where I was before we started TFAS. Going through 1st tri twice with no baby plus all the stress of TFAS...I need to get the weight off. It's a constant reminder of what I don't have right now.
What are your obstacles towards reaching your goal? My hcg is still super high so the nausea is still pretty bad. Which means being active and eating properly are still a struggle. I'm stuck in the "I only don't feel nauseous when I'm eating" feeling of pregnancy. Yay me.

Ultimate goal: I'd like to lose like 30-40 lbs more
This week's goal: Continue trying to eat well. I need to start working out and get into a routine because that will hopefully increase my weight loss.
How are you doing so far? I started ww in mid April and am down 24lbs so far! I really didn't see this happening before I signed up! I'm actually a lb under when I got pregnant with DD2! But I was higher than I wanted to be then after fertility meds and general anxiety/depression
Why are you working towards this goal? I want to be more comfortable in my body.
What are your obstacles towards reaching your goal? I usually gain 50 lbs in pregnancy. If I am able to get pregnant again, I want to try to keep it to 20lbs so I am trying to get in a workout and food routine that I could sustain. Dh is definitely one of my obstacles. He eats like shit which tempts me. For example, yesterday we went to an early dinner. I got a salad and he got fish and chips. Then wanted ice cream last night. I wish I could eat like that and not gain but I'm old now and that's not possible.

Wow sarahh, congrats on your weight loss! That's great! Ugh sammysam, I hope you start feeling better soon. I can't imagine how hard that must be.

Ultimate goal: probably to lose 30 lbs, that would be close to my pre pregnancy weight.
This weeks goal: do some small workout every day
How are you doing: Pretry good actually. I've been walking every day for about a week and also doing my workout DVD when I have time. I'm just so ready to feel like I'm taking control of my body and weight.
Why are you working towards this goal: obviously mostly to be healthier but also keep myself busy and my mind off TTC
What are your obstacles towards reaching your goals: Mostly just the emotional stress of dealing with TTC. I can do pretty good for the the most part but whenever CD 1 hits or I get bad news I automatically just want to drink wine and eat comfort food. After doing this for 7 months the weight is really starting to pile on 😬

I don't even know where to start, this might be kind of a vent... I started doing yoga every day when we began fertility treatments in March, it was a really good way to have a little me time everyday and I made it to like 87 days straight. Then my stupid slipping rib started acting up and I had to take a break. I still kept at it a few times a week but it became less and less. I've been feeling really gross recently, too much eating crap because I don't feel like cooking in this heat and because we've been super busy. So I started back up with the yoga and will try to get in some early morning stroller walks with DS. The next 6 weeks are going to tough, H is OOT for the most part (he's home a few days here and there) and we start IVF once this cycle is over. I really need to get back on track in the next few weeks before IVF starts so that I can try to keep my shit together during all of that. Since I'm hoping to all things that I end up pregnant I'm not really looking to super tone up or drop the lbs right at the moment, I just want to shed a little water weight and feel like myself again (before I'm -hopefully- super nauseous!). I also think that staying active, getting better sleep, and eating better might overall help me during pregnancy too (my pregnancy with DS was rough - 9 months of puking). So....that's where I am. Thanks for starting this again sammysam.

sarahh That's amazing!!! I hope I can get off to a start as good as you! sunny75 All my weight came from the stress of TTC too. Hopefully you won't have many more CD1s to have to deal with. charliefox Sorry about the rib. It must be so frustrating! I have everything crossed that this is your cycle. We just got back from the beach so I'm off to workout now. Hopefully DD will let me get through the whole thing before jumping all over me.

Ultimate goal: *sigh* idk
This week's goal: Make a plan that I can stick to
How are you doing so far? This is step one.
Why are you working towards this goal? I need to be healthier for both my kids but especially M. She's not getting lighter and I need to be able to carry her for a long time.
What are your obstacles towards reaching your goal?
After M was diagnosed I ate my feelings and packed on about 60 pounds after doing amazing during and after my pregnancy. It's just so hard because people don't get my life, but cookies don't judge.

Sorry honda Hopefully we can all help to motivate eachother in some way. I'm trying not to feel bad about myself if this takes a long time. I'm trying to play the long game here but celebrate the little things. Like...I worked out today. And then ate a chocolate bar. So I guess I'm about even for today:/

sammysam thanks! I think working out is a great step! You did it! You could've just ate the candy bar instead, but you earned it!

honda Thanks:) And I totally get the frustration of gaining weight AFTER pregnancy. I was the same with DD. Didn't gain much during pregnancy and was back to my pre preg weight pretty quickly after delivery. I worked out every day with her strapped to me and was back in a bikini 5 months pp. And then we started TFAS...had our 2 losses...and poof...30 extra lbs in 1.5 years...and since I don't talk about my life with people I know IRL I get the "you only have one kid...just take some time for yourself" comments. So not helpful.
