who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

after going to friendly's for lunch....and splitting a box of kraft mac and cheese with DH for dinner....

i decided ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!

so i decided to lift some weights tonight, i didnt do much, just some upper body toning, but i have been SO lazy lately it is disgusting! so that is a lot for me!

i am going to try to do it at least 3 times a week, and since it is getting warmer out, DH and i can start to go for walks again after work

what are you doing to get yourself in shape before the BFP (or at least to attempt to...hopefully the BFP's will come soon!)

my plan is to continue to do light exercise once i get the BFP

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I'll join! I'm doing Weight Watchers, slowly but stedily I'm losing. I plan to continue to eat right after a BFP but wanted to get into it before so it's not really a transition. I also want to start walking, anyone wanna join?!

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

Sure, I am in. I have to do therapy anyway for my back and my RA!

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I started dieting last week. Iam doing no carbs for 2 weeks. So Far I have lost 5lbs this 1st week. After this 2nd week I will maintain a Low carb diet until i reach my goal weight. I also will start going to the gym today. Iam so excited and proud of myself.

Lets go ladies we can do it!!

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

:) I'd love to join...

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I'm in!!! I am breaking out and dusting off the good old 30 Day Shred DVD and going to try to do it 3 times a week. I have been SOOOOOO lazy this last month and have been totally eating my face off too and it shows. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I'm in!!! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and it was a real eye-opener about how unhealthy I've been for the past few years.I started the Insulin Resistance Diet about 2 weeks ago and even though I haven't weighed myself yet, my pants are looser

I also started doing my 30 day shred tape this past Saturday, I'm going to try to do it every other day.

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

GREAT!


so what did everyone have for lunch today??

i had a tuna (made with miracle whip) on whole wheat (trying to use up my tuna before i get preggo...hehe)

for breakfast i had a packet of instant oatmeal

so far so good....now lets see if that lasts into the evening!

we are planning on marinating chicken in a lime marinade(DH makes it) and making chicken soft tacos for dinner tonight...we bought light cheese to put on them and lettuce, tomatoes, onions, with whole wheat wraps...saffron rice as a side, and maybe a salad with the leftover lettuce and tomatoes

i have a slight stomach bug, but i am feeling better so i made whole grain toast with turkey and hummus.

i had ovaltine for breakfast to settle my belly.

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

breakfast- 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt, 1/2 low sugar granola bar, 1/2 cup blueberries- YUM!!

snack- one 2% cheese stick and 7 triscuits

lunch- peanut butter banana sandwich (1 slice whole wheat bread, peanut butter, and 1/2 banana)

dinner- broiled cod, salad, and brown rice

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I recently joined weight watchers again.

Breakfast - Coffee, Bran flakes w/skim milk

Lunch - Steamed mixed veggies and Non-fat yogurt

Dinner - Grilled turkey breast, Sweet potato, Spinach satueed with 2 teaspoons evoo and garlic

I've actually decided to create a menu for the week and post it on the fridge so DH knows what I am making. If he doesn't like it I told him he is free to make his own dinner

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I'm trying to eat mostly organic, and "clean", meaning no processed foods. This is tough!!! I am not completely clean but I'm trying to cut out as much processed as I can for normal days. I actually feel much better than I had been feeling for a while, stomach wise, and I think that it's just better and healthier to eat this way! I hope it lasts...

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I think this is a great thread to start again.


I have been dieting for the past 3 months & down 13 lbs. I count my calories and bring a journal with me everywhere to write down everything I eat. I try to limit myself to 1500 calories or less a day but have 2 cheat meals a week. I love to lose more prior to my BFP!

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I have been dieting for the past couple of months and I bought Wii Fit and have been doing that and yesterday I bought Wii Active-so we will see if that helps!

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

My PLAN was to try to lose 30-40 lbs before starting TTC. That went out the window and I think I've gained weight (holidays etc. and just never lost it). It's sad, really. But, DH and I are eating healthier and trying to be more active.

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I've lost 50 pounds on WW. I still have a long ways to go, but it's a great start!

Re: who wants to join.....let's get in shape before the BFPs!

I started WW in the middle of April. It's been slow, but I am down 13lbs.

I'm with ya!

I'm a WWer. I'm a lifetime member and I go back and forth between maintaining at goal or up 3-5 lbs. Right now I'm a few lbs up. I'd like to get back to goal...or even a few lbs below (I set a high goal so I could stop paying asap) before getting pregnant.

I haven't been to a meeting since May, so I think I'm going to go to one this weekend. I have a 3-month journal but haven't been so good at tracking. Usually a meeting and an official weigh-in motivates me.
