I had a doctor's appointment yesterday that was not great. I need to be VERY diligent in my work on my weight and exercise. I am setting some personal goals as I have until February to get my weight in line and to change my eating habits. I had never had blood pressure medicine now I have it doubled ( YUCK) I am pre-diabetic and have high cholesterol I do NOT want to take medications so I have a choice to get with the program. I may need more help here. Previously I had done WW for years with minimal success, tried a nutritionist also with no success. I need to figure this out. ANY suggestions for staying focused welcome. I just got an email with a 'birthday' offer for WW and I am not sure if I should go back to this again. THANKS0 -

So today I woke up with exercise on my mind then remember I had a drs appt so I had to skip my usual workout.
Today is my baby's 8th birthday
🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈🎊🎊🎊
Went to my diabetic eye exam (hopefully the last one as a diabetic 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾) good report, previously told I had sarcoidosis in my eyes and a recipient of glaucoma in my later years well both of those facts were unfounded at my eye exam YAY YAY!
Came home & ate a late lunch and instead of pushing myself to workout I decided to make some high protein snack treats so I will stick to my food plan and not give into temptation when craving sweets so using my almond flour protein PB-chocolate chip cookies recipe I made 48 cookie balls at 63cal each I am alloted 4 a serving.
So today was a good day. I also picked up two accountability buddies from FB Charlotte friends group. Which will also keep me on track to my short-term goal to lose 25lbs by Nov. 15RetroJoe28 wrote: »RetroJoe28

I have been doing keto with intermittent fasting since December. So far I’m down 52 lbs. when I started I was on 3 different blood pressure meds and a cholesterol medication. Since then they took me off my cholesterol medication and 2 of my blood pressure meds. My dr said if I continue losing weight he probably will be able to take me off my last blood pressure medication.0 -

I realised today I take 1-2 doses of ibuprofen a day, sometime when I’m in little to no pain. At times I do need it; other times, I see it as preventative. Nonetheless, getting back to light exercising like walking or the elliptical can relieve some of my knee, foot, and back pain. Also, drinking more water and walking will decrease the swelling I’ve noticed of late in my ankles.0 -

Thanks for the advice! I tried intermittent fasting without much success. My doctor gave me the DASH diet so I am reading about it and then trying to stay faithful to it. I know that although I have been exercising I know that I have not had as much energy as I had. I will look into the keto and may need advice and encouragement!

@Kin59vara I will share my feelings on weight watchers with the you and the group. It's my belief that their model won't help anyone long term, maybe initially with motivation and tracking, but long term I'm not sure that it's sustainable, one you have to have their program to determine how many points things are so you'll be paying them for that model for the rest of your life and if you succeeded in losing the weight, you'd quit the paid program AND I'm also not sure that a program that allows you to have all the pasta you want can be beneficial. That is a lot of carbs and what I've learned about carbs over the last few years tells me that carbs trigger an insulin response and insulin turns off fat burning until the carbs have been processed. Not that carbs are necessarily all bad, but if they're always high, you will always be in storing more vs burning mode. Another thing is, if you're not ready to cut the carb cord, that's fine, intermittent fasting can help with this as well. If you're fasting, you're not eating carbs, therefore after you've burned through them, you'll turn to fat burning mode and achieve a lot of the same benefits as if you were following a ketogenic diet or low carb diet. I recommend both for maximum results, but I whole heartedly believe there is more than one way to get there. I like to do both of those things myself, and it's those times I stuck to that plan I saw the biggest ROI and greatest weight loss. However, they can be done independently of each other or together. Even lowering your total carb count to 100 or less can help. You'll burn through that glucose fast and then your body will be forced to look for alternatives to energy sources and this is when it'd turn to fat and stored fat. (big point to remember, if you decide to go keto, or even IF, watch your electrolytes! add in broth or electrolyte supplements, trust me on that one)
Someone who does a really great job of explaining this process is Dr Jason Fung. I was skeptical at first but if I look at the times I was really successful and lost the most (and what I'm doing again to get back down to where I was, keto + IF. There are several Intermittent fasting times you can use, probably the easiest and best one to start with is 16:8 which means you're fasting 16 hours a day and eating within 8 hours. You figure you're sleeping for 8 of those hours roughly, just delaying your first meal and stopping eating a little earlier at the end ofthe day, and you're there. It's pretty easy to do!
I know, I answered that.....with a lot of words and information, but I truly believe it and there is a lot of science to back it up.
