I went to the dr this morning with the intention of starting round 2 of trying to have another baby, but ended up leaving with a totally diffrent goal !!
I have PCOS and with that I gain weight easily and have a hard time losing it. So since 2002 when I started seeing my fertility specialist I have gained a total of 46 lbs !! Yes I did have 2 pregnancies in that time period but I only gained 10 lbs with the triplets ( I only made it to 25 weeks 5 days) and about 6 or 7 with Aubrey ( born @ 38 weeks). That's alot of weight especially since I gained 10 of those lbs in the past 9 months !!! Hello FATTY GIRL !!! Put the ding dong down !!!
Mike & I talked to Dr. Schenk this morning and it started off with us talking about my past cycles with the fertility drugs and then Mike asked what has changed since I got pregnant with Aubrey in 2007 ? Dr. Schenk could only answer with 2 things. 1. age - I was 28 when I got pregnant and had Aubrey ( turned 29 only 4 days after she was born) 2. weight- I weigh about 16lbs more now that I did AFTER I had Aubrey. She then told me if I lost 35 lbs I would have a much better chance to get pregnant again. She told me to take 3 months off and get the weight off and come back and we can do it again and it should be much easier on my and my pregnancy to lose the weight because right now I am at risk for gestetional diabetes (sp?) like I had when pregnant with Aubrey. I DON'T WANT THAT AGAIN !!!
So now for a brief period this blog is going to be mostly about my journey to lose 35lbs so I can have another baby. The only reason I am going to continue to blog about this weight lose is because I need the support of my friends and family to help me because I know this is going to be so hard !!! I am very embarrassed to say this but my weight right now is ..... 232 lbs !!! HOLY CRAP !! How did I get so fat ?? o' yeah I LOVE TO EAT and not healthy food ... I love comfort food, snacks , candy, junk that is not good for me.
I want to do this the right way with exercise and eating healthy. I don't want to take any diet pills or do any fad diets because I think I will just gain the weight back once I get pregnant again. Mike is my biggest cheerleader because he wants his wife to be healthy for our future child and for the 2 daughters that are here watching how we treat our bodies. He has always been in shape and now he is doing the p90x workout so he is getting that much better.
I don't want to be the fat girl with the smokin hot husband anymore so by June 1, 2010 I AM GOING TO WEIGH 197 lbs !!!

That's awesome, Nichole. I'm so excited for you! When we were trying this time, I focused a lot on eating whole foods that would nourish my body- organic eggs, Greek yogurt, fruits/veggies, nuts. And, even gave up sugar bc it's horrible for pcos. It's going to be worth it and you'll feel great! Cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! You should go read "The Weigh Down Diet" if you're a Christian. If you're not, it's still a good book with a simple rule on how to lose weight; ONLY ONLY ONLY eat when you're hungry and ONLY ONLY ONLY eat until you're full. I've lost 14 pounds very easily using that method. We're all cheering for you!!!
