Success story ! (sort of...)

  • Entered FS with a goal to lose weight so that the hospital would approve us for IVF treatment, and to be approved you have to have a BMI below 30. We've been trying to get pregnant for the past 3 years almost, without success, and in February we were promised a referal to a special hospital. In June we finally got an appointment to see a doctor on August 14 (=tomorrow)

    During my detox in June/July (which I did for 13 days) I lost 10 pounds and I was convinced nothing could stop me. Actually I had already reached my short term goal of BMI below 30. Then I went on a holiday with my fiancee, we went camping and during those few weeks I gained 5 pounds

    However, after returning home, I find myself not being able to lose those 5 or any of the other extra pounds I've gained over the years. I'm PREGNANT and it all happened in a perfect natural way!

    Now I find myself looking for another healthy diet, this time with a focus on not gaining too much during the next 8 months. Suggestions are appreciated.

    Had a purely selfish need to share this success story with someone beside my fiancee. We've decided to keep it a secret from the rest of the world for a few more weeks.
