Most of the additional things I barely have so isn't a big deal. The named are the ones that affect me the most. Many of those I had started having when switching to a more healthy diet. I didn't do the additional test for additives and such but after knowing my symptoms I also figured out: red 40 and caramel color. Right now the caramel color is having it's way; so I need to cut that a bit. Tomatoes have stopped being itchy but get to be nauseous or acid reflux after a few hours. I had found out that milk, other than the manmade sodium casinate in packaged items; didn't cause me a problem but I wasn't healing either. I've had too much dairy lately so I need to stop that too for a bit.
I have a fructose intolerance, which is most fruit and most premade sweets, sodas, candies, icings, etc. It manifests as being hung over with headache, nausea, etc. almost immediately. I have to watch my simple carbs or I get sick to my stomach, and I have IBS which has decided that I shall not have most leafy greens or beans. I can have about a tablespoon of cooked spinach in a bowl of pasta alfredo for color, but only about once a week.
This makes eating at other people's houses...interesting. If it's actually homemade (flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, etc) I can probably have a tiny portion especially if I've had plenty of protein. If it's a mix or it's one of those things where it's Box A plus Can B plus a jar of C poured over the top.... nope. I have learned to be a very good cook in self-defense.

48 yo 5’3”
9/1 196.4 Sept goal 192.4
9/8 197.6 (with cycle water weight this is actually still great!)
9/15 196.6
9/20 194.6
9/29 193.6
I made it to Class 1 Obesity!!!! Woo hoo I am 34.7% BMI (30-35% is Class 1). A new NSV category!! Also, I have gained some muscle. So even though I have not made my 4 lb goal, I have if you include that I have been muscle building some fat burners!! My size is smaller everywhere, my poor clothes don't ever fit me even after sewing inches off. Over the moon with the progress. I will eventually lose the weight, but maybe I should shoot for 3 lbs next month. I can't figure out how to get 260 calories of MCT oil in a strictly 1200 cal a month diet without eating back some exercise calories. So I will lose a little slower, but still make progress. I have been eating extremely well for my brain, and keeping the carbs low for oil reasons. Sundays are still a fun break from the diet grind and I love Sundays every week - I eat at maintenance at my goal weight. I feel like I could easily do this for a couple years as it may take me that long, and that is okay. I will be patient. Ladies, we have crushed September and sent it packing. Now for October!! I got my pumpkins ready!!

Aaannddd... my fitbit band broke. Need to order a new one off Amazon. Until then, no more measuring steps/sleep.4 -
Hi all of you wonderful ladies. I am restarting my log ins, as it's been 3 months. My husband passed away unexpectedly in June and I have been overwhelmed with things to do. I'm 70 years old, and weigh 260, which is about where I was in June. My knee is bone on bone, and just got an injection to buy me time before surgery, maybe next year. I did start a chair yoga class, and that's been great so far. So looking forward to reading your posts again. 💕11

9/28- 245.8
Total loss for September:13.8. While I love this number, I’m going to start eating back my exercise calories, as I feel this is too fast to be healthy/sustainable for me. Also, I’m grumpy a lot of the time. This may help (though I don’t feel hungry).

Hello. My goal for october is to loose at least 11 lb. I´m now at the end of September 286 lb (was 262 lb this summer). I´m 170 cm high. I so desperately need some motivation1
-
@addyingadottir you are doing well so far. We have lots of accountability in a kind way. Motivation is a fits and starts sort of thing. Come in for the super low cal pumpkin almost milk latte - stay for the company4
-
@justanotherloser007 tell me more about this super-low cal PSL... LMAO
Hubs has band practice tonight, which means another foray out to Loaded Chicken Fries Place this evening. I'm still able to do the calorie gymnastics to fit it in, especially when he tells me ahead of time, but part of the tradeoff is that I need to skip my normal afternoon snack and now I'm grumpy about that, LMAO.5 -
I use: 1) cold brew coffee I make myself 2) almond milk at 30 calories per 8oz and sweet leaf pumpkin spice 0 cal sweetener. If I am feeling particularly splurgy I will add super coffee kitu maple pumpkin creamer around 5 fluid ounces @33 calories. 63 calories plus coffee so maybe 65 calories (without the kitu it is around 50 calories) total for a HUGE 25 fluid oz cup of pumpkin java... cuz I like to drink *hiccup*4

Yup not a good month. I'm being hopeful the bulk of the uptick is mostly TOTM that is long past due. I'm seeing hopeful signs that give indication. Perimenopause certainly sucks for this reason; no idea when TOTM will come and each cycle is getting longer. Otherwise lots of sodium at different points. Besides this week's meal mentioned, I don't regret the other higher meals. I haven't done much of diet breaks so treated it a bit as such. No real binging either which for me is good.
The plan for Oct should help me better. with Mom back from vacation and our usual Sunday dinners out I won't order as much at other times but need to go back through menus to help plan better. I'll just have to see with the semi-elimination diet how the healing goes to know how strict I need to be the whole month. Week by week basis ultimately.2
