I could use some support and I'm new here.

I'm recovering from a massive hemorrhagic stroke and two brain surgeries. So far, I've lost 50 pounds with about 15 to go. Nutrition is a very important component to weight loss. I'm assuming your nutritionist has that under control. Exercise both cardio and strength training is the other. Perhaps, a personal trainer if you are totally lost in the gym. The most important part is a positive attitude. Feel free to add me.

Hi Reinholz! Don't worry about past failures. We all have those days/seasons. The point is your back giving it another shot. I can give you 3 tips to start off with. Tip #1: Some foods can be trigger foods. That means we all have 1 or more foods that can trigger us to over eat. Mine happens to be potato chips. If I eat just one of those small subway size bag of chips I will eat my house down to the pipes. I avoid chips for my diet plan. Note your trigger foods. Tip # 2: Step on the scale only 1x a week. That bathroom scale can become our enemy and cause us to loose our focus. We can get really discourage by that stupid scale. We didn't pick our weight up over night and we sure aren't gonna loose all this weight over night. There will be some weeks you'll loose weight steadily every week and then all the sudden you'll just stop. This is normal. During that time that your not loosing weight your actually loosing inches. So keep in mind you'll loose weight, stop, loose inches, stop, then back to loosing weight. Tip #3: Always eat every 2 hours. Break your meals into 6 groups and space them 2 hours apart. This should include breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Choosing what to eat is also important. I get greedy with my calories and I try to avoid anything food that just isn't satisfying. An orange will hold me over longer then a 100 calories snack bag of mini muffins. The awesome part about dieting is you can eat pretty much whatever you want just in moderation. So having an ice cream cone with the serving size amount according to the package is ok. Also if you have a craving for a small bag of m&m's or whatever it is please eat it cause in the end if you don't you'll eat everything in site and then finally eat what it is you were craving to begin with. Been there done that lol.

Feel free to add me! I'm a borderline diabetic so this is a wake up call for me.
