PW =(250.7)
CW=(249.5)
Total loss for November: 11.5 lbs
I seem to be a little stuck at 249 but that's ok....I fully expected plateau points coming into this thing. I see my primary care doctor tomorrow for the first time in a year. She has been bugging me to lose weight for awhile now. I'm interested to see what my labs show now that I'm eating a low fat/low sugar diet.
You're doing great! 11.5 pounds in one month is great progress! Congratulations!2 -

I have read the different scenarios and get so annoyed when one “expert” says one thing and the another disagrees and says the opposite. As if it isn’t hard enough! Ha ha! Definitely I think everyone agrees sugar is BAD! And if I abstained I definitely would be better off! Knowing and practicing are two different things! Ha ha! Thanks again for your support and encouragement! Oh and no, I am not feeling ill effects at all from my eating plan. It is not very restrictive calorie wise and I actually feel great. I just have trouble now and then saying no to a special dessert or favorite past yummy! I will straighten back out here shortly!
Is all sugar "bad" or just processed sugar? Most of my sugar these days comes from pears, grapes, and cantaloupe. That's where I get most of my carbs too.
@CindyJNC1963 That really depends on your goals I think.
My goals are 0 sugar, and since I'm keto, I tend to only eat a serving of berries as they're super low in sugar, maybe one a day because for me, all sugar does the same thing in my body, spikes my insulin and kicks me out of ketosis at a certain point, so that's why I don't.
I would say that if you're not doing a low carb or keto diet, then fruit is your best bet for sugar..but it just depends on your goals...but definitely watch any added sugar, you will want sugar from natural sources like fruits....not from processed foods if you're eating carbs/fruit...fruits are good (not fruit juices) they contain fiber which helps your body process the sugar differently than just sugar by itself, there's a more scientific reason that I can't think of right now, but that's why fruits are ok, but not if you're keto!1 -

That's interesting. I had no idea that you couldn't have sugar on a keto plan. My doctor recommended a low carb (<90) + high protein (>100) 1350 calorie a day plan. I eat very, very little processed sugar....just what I get from fruits. So, I think sugar is ok as I don't go over 60g a day.3 -

@kazunomiya That's the thing, a lot of people shy away from sodium, but the body does need it, and everyone in different amounts. I get headaches if mine's too low, or I feel sick even. And if you eat low carb, you tend to not retain it so much, so you really need to consume more of it.
I'm so glad that you're doing better and that is an amazing loss, one that proves you're doing what your body needs. Our bodies have a funny way of letting us know when we're not doing what it needs us to.
Congrats and I'm looking forward to seeing your future success!!!2 -

I've been really bad on my water intake recently. The fountain at the library I usually study in is broken so that's the culprit.4 -

Exercise: Yes, light strength training.
Comments: Had kind of a bad day emotionally today. But pretty good health-wise. And that makes me feel better. If I was over my calories I know it would have made the day ten times worse so I'm happy. Dinner might have been high on sodium but we'll see when I weigh myself tomorrow. Finals are coming up fast so I need to start studying for those.3 -

Hi Team,
My daily stats- I’m prepacked and ready to go to work. Hoping work is chill tonight. 🤞🏻
Tracked: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: 60 min weights and cardio
Not sure I am going to hit my goal of a lb less on Saturday.
With all the weight sessions I’m doing- my lbs are holding steady! Hopefully I’m building more lean muscle. But that last few lbs of FAT on the belly and waist needs to goooooo! Argh. Don’t know what else to do - I’m under my calories allllllll the time- i exercise at least 4 days we week.
I guess keep working at it?2 -
