Don't get discouraged with your weight gain during the day. You will most likely always weigh more at the end of the day, then you did when you woke up. You have been eating and drinking all day long. It has to go somewhere. Weigh yourself at the same time everyday and that should be the weight you go by.
One more thing, make sure you are eating enough. If you are eating too few calories per day your body will go into starvation mode and store the fat instead of getting rid of it.
I'm still plugging away at my weight. Don't give up! We can do this!
I got my results back and not sure what to think about them.
E2 = 34 FSH = 7.3 TSH = 1.2 LH 4.8
I kinda got annoyed with the nurse that called me. She seemed very pushy towards IVF and very discouraging about TR. Sheez I have enough to be discouraged about concerning that without having her add to it.
DH doesn't seem to want to talk about it anymore either.
I haven't made any progress on the weight either. I start the day at 186.6 and end up around 187 or 188. I honestly am not eating that much. I managed to get out and walk the other night and I walk a little at work. It's just all so discouraging.

I love you Maria! Good luck, I am jealous but happy for you! Have a great time and good luck!
On another note, DH and I walked together today for 1 hour. It occured to me, if I left today and WALKED to CHTRC, I would be at my pre-high school/pre-baby/pre-puberty weight by the time that I got there!
DH says that I would take me 3 years to get there though...(we live in Sacramento) LOL..guess I should just stick to local walking for now!

Well I finally managed to get DH to take a walk with me yesterday. He made some comment about having a bunch of energy and I suggested a walk and he said let's go. So we did. But we had to finish putting up dinner. Then we had to put air in the tires for DSD to ride and then we ran into our neighbor who was leaving so of course had to stop and chat with them for a minute. It took us 20 minutes but we finally got to walking. I think we only did 1/2 to 3/4 mile but it is a start.
After I posted that last message, DH called and said his brother and his wife wanted to make a quick trip to Louisiana to one of the casinos. It is about 3-4 hours drive. So we jumped in the car and headed to Lake Charles. We got there around midnight and left the casino around 4:30 am. We had a lot of fun. None of us won big but we had a good time. All in all DH and I only lost $100 plus we paid for 1 tank of gas and breakfast. I played the penny slots for hours on $20. I ended up cashing out for $57 but DH didn't do so well at Black Jack. We got back yesterday and I was beat.
This morning I weighed in at 186.6.
And my favorite singer is Gary Allan.
Maria: Good Luck and have a safe trip and long lengths!

I am 5'4' and finally got my weight down to 200 lbs! That's 63lbs gone (5 months in waiting) and 55lbs to the BMI calculation of a "normal weight". The most amazing thing is that I can now schedule surgery! My motivator has been knowing I have been holding on to the surgery money but couldn't schedule until I reached the required weight. We hope to schedule for 8/13 within the next week (we are flying from Oregon). I have been following everyone's updates and have found so much support from this group. Even the questions and thoughts that I was too embarresed to ask or relay, someone did. It really trully helps to have a balanced support group! I'm sending this note just to let those know that sharing your struggles and successes impacts someone somewhere and makes a real difference, especially when you don't even know it.

Hey Myrtle, I am glad you had a great birthday. 45 is awesome! When I was a young girl I couldn't wait to hit 35, because I had read in one of my mom's "Cosmos" that 35 was a woman's peak year. LOL Then when I hit 35, I couldn't wait til I hit 40. I had started to do bodybuilding and when I hit 40 I was one sexy momma! BUT...then I had a surgery and a head injury, which both took their toll on me. Made me realize that I am just glad to be alive!
Now that I am 45, I see the world through different eyes. I don't have all the hang ups and head trips of insecurity I had...once upon a time. I no longer have the desire to "look" like a model (so to speak).
Yeah, I'm fat/overweight. I was considered obese, according to some chart. But, I am glad to be alive. I am trying to lose about 30-40 pounds so that I am a healthy weight. I don't stress about it though. I give myself an "A" for effort, even if I have a little splurge.
I know that I am not 21 and my body is aging, but I was a looker once upon a time and I know I have a beautiful heart. That's what matters most to me.
LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH! Stop and smell the roses. God bless, Denise By the way, who is your favorite singer?

So glad to hear you had a great time Myrtle! Too bad your sign didn't get...signed! I wouldn't stress the weight too much. I have been stressing it and it is just putting that much more pressure on me.

Yes, yesterday was my birthday. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a good day. Didn't really do much.
I did go to see my fave singer. He just happened to be playing in my town on my birthday. It was a good show and I managed to get almost up front. I had a sign that said "It's my birthday, please sign my sign." When some of the ladies saw my sign they pushed me closer. 2 ladies standing just in front of me against the barricade took my sign and made sure he at least saw it. I know he did because you could tell by the look on his face he was trying to read it. Sometimes after the show, he will sign autographs for the people in the front, but this time he didn't. Oh well it was a great show and I enjoyed it and I got some great pictures.
So now I'm 45. **ick**
I have been weighing myself several times a day, just to see what my fluctuations are. Yesterday I weighed anywhere from 186.8 to 189.6 depending on what time of day, what I was wearing and what I had eaten/drank.
