I find the hardest thing is exercise.
I have diabetes and fatty liver. I tried a low fat diet for 3 months and I kept craving olive oil the entire time! Eventually I modified my diet to include olive oil, and I realized it would be sustainable only with olive oil😁
Mediterranean is the best diet, in my opinion, as long as you eliminate or minimize simple carbs.
Good luck and welcome. I'm trying to lose about 20 kg!1 -
Hi,
Metubal, or real name, Ebru. I'm 49, married, have a 12-year-old son. Fit and healthy until I got pregnant at 36. It was a complicated pregnancy with strict bedrest, gestational diabetes, and health issues with the baby. After my son was born, both my and my son's health have gotten progressively worse. Stress and depression led me into emotional eating and I gained 70 lbs in 10 years. In 2018 I was diagnosed with diabetes and fatty liver disease. I changed my habits, kicked depression's butt, and lost 36 lbs. I continued with the healthy life style for a year, but my son's health declined seriously in 2019 and I found myself snacking, not sleeping, not drinking water, and overeating again. I gained 25 lbs back. This time, along with weight came joint pain and stiffness in general.
So... here I am, trying to find my health and peace (and to lose weight) in this difficult life.
I worked as a financial analyst for many years, hated it but stayed in for the money. Then I started doing translations, which was my dream job. I quit working 5 years ago to take care of my son. I homeschool him, he is a very bright kid who loves science, airplanes, and video games.
Looking forward to getting healthier together!

thanks. i can eat olive oil on the low fat diet I've been given. i ate processed biscuits with cheese today, which is a definite no, but I will just cut out all dairy for the rest of today, and do a bit of extra exercise. hubby went shopping and loaded the cupboard with junk (he has fatty liver).
i didnt realise how much extra saturated fat i was getting by using butter and cheese so I've stopped that (i was substituting coz hubby cant have chilli at the moment). if it wasnt for hubby id be thin like when i was single lol
with carbs, ive switched back to brown rice. family love lentils too so will be trying some middle eastern stews. No one in my family like wholewheet pasta so I usually have pasta just once a week. We have always eaten brown bread (unless I make my own).
My grandparents on one side ate whatever they wanted till they past away age 92+. but heart disease even with very healthy foods and weight is so high on my other side of the family. Im hoping to be healthier by the end of the month, and get my whole family into good habits.0 -

Good Morning! I’m missing from the list. Hope, I can still be on the team. Last month was horrible for me. The first month I haven’t logged anything and I feel the difference. Today, would be my weigh in day. Please, let me know if it’s ok for me to still be on the team for July. Thank you!1 -

Hi Kenya, I believe if you miss 2 weeks of weigh ins they automatically assume you are out. I will ask the coordinators if it’s not too late since youre ready to recommit

It’s official, July is here! Just wanted to remind everyone about the Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge(MUAC):
Daily check in keeps you in touch with those doing similar. Longer term weight management is hard to do on your own.
It works on an honor system. Being honest with yourself and others is a key to making things work. Remember, this is a judgement free zone, everyone has good days and bad days, but the way to get to the finish line is by being honest and when we have a bad day, picking ourselves up and carrying on the next day!
Consistency and new habits have been shown the only long term successful way to change weight. We all want the progress made here to last a lifetime.
Your posts should look like this:
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes/no
Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
Goals/Day/Comments: (Tell us a brief description about your how your day went or your goals for the day)1 -
