Looking for Motivation/Fitness Buddies

Lisa0Anne

Hi Everyone :happy:

I am looking to get fit and lose approx 18 lbs and looking for people help motivate me and visa versa. if you are looking for the same add me.

I am mostly looking to feel better rather than the weight but making a weight goal anyway or even losing a size or 2 would be good whatever comes first I guess lol...I like exercising because I love the way it makes me feel. Food is struggle, I have IBS (not confirmed but thats what the doctor said I have) high fibre does the opposite of what it typically does to someone with IBS, basically shuts down my stomach...thinking of talking to a nutritionist for help with meal planning.

Take Care!

Hi and welcome :-)

I have a lot more to lose (70lbs), but feel your pain re IBS.

Keeping your food diary on here will help you find your trigger foods. Mine are:

grease / oil;
wheat, so no bread or pasta though cakes are ok! Think it's the different strengths of flour;
dairy, so have soya yoghurts. No milk in tea or coffee;
sugar, have to keep it down.

It was daunting and frustrating at first, but now I'm pretty used to it and whilst I might very occasionally crave a thick slice of fresh bread and butter, knowing what it does to me does help me to resist! Either that or even six months or so I'll have one slice (then wish I hadn't!).

My diary is public so you're welcome to have a looksee.

Adding you! In the same boat with the IBS and with Gall bladder problems as well. You learn real quick what kind of foods work and what to stay away from.
