  • I just wanted to say thank you everyone for the advice!! Right now im just going to let it go and hope she cant stick to it more than a few days...
  • I live right down the road from the food bank but i cant drive because if my reason for being in a wheelchair. But we have figured out how to hook up the little red wagon to my wheelchair. Maybe I can go get food for her and her husband can come pick up the food after work. I know they only have 1 car right now too and her…
  • I try to stay keto. Under 25 net grams of carbs. But some days if i go out to eat or its a holiday, i stay under 150 net grams. (Which is considered low carb still.) For my coffee, i use heavy whipping cream because it has zero carbs and has alot of fat to keep me full, i use vanilla extract, and splenda. Then i drink an…
  • I didnt know they had liquid! Thanks! And its zero carbs? Not "less than 1 gram of carb"?
  • My psychiatrist monitors my weight every month and im on a weight loss medication recently that primary doctor is okay with me being on 1000 calorie diet temporarily. I see her in two weeks. Thank you for youre concern.
  • I weighed this afternoon because i have to use a wheelchair scale at the nursing home down the road and it was raining this morning. I havent eat yet today. Im nauseas. And the only thing ive to drink was 2 cups of coffee. And i already peed and had a bm. So i figured it would be pretty accurate.
  • I had a pair of fat jeans that were starting to get too tight, now they are falling down when i stand!

  • The medication is an appetite suppressant by slowing gastric motility and working with 3 hormones in the body. Losing that weight is probably water and a little fat. Itll slowly start to slow down. But being on this med and being monitored by a doctor its not unhealthy as long as it does slow down.
  • For me, the reason i got to the highest weight i was, 350 pounds, was because i had untreated binge eating disorder. I would binge all the time. In junior high and highschool, i thought i was fat and people would judge me if i ate so i didnt eat in front of people. By the time i got home, i was starving and would eat…
  • I thought "woo" was a good thing since it replaced "awesome". Like woo! Yes! Awesome! Yay! That type of woo. But i have binge eating disorder so i was just following your post. I am obese and have to lose weight for my health but with my eating disorder its making it very hard to do it in a healthy way..
  • Yoga is really good for toning. When i could do all the work outs i wanted, i used to do 4 hours of cardio and then take 3 yoga classes a week. The yoga made me feel calm, gave me balance, built up my strength, toned my body alot. I lost t0 pounds in less than 2 months and never had saggy skin because of my yoga. :D
  • I started at 350. I weighed today at 308. At 350 depending on the brand im either a 3x or 4x. But also all my clothes are years old and stretched out or stretchy clothes. I havent changed clothing size yet. Im hoping once i hit 280, ill be in a 2x. (My body is pretty evenly proportional except i have small boobs compared…
  • Im in the biggest loser challenge so i only weigh weekly. Plus i have to roll down the street to use the nursing homes wheelchair scale to weigh. Id weigh everyday if i wasnt so lazy
  • When i could swim, i did that. (I have a Tracheostomy now.) Also yoga, stretches, and resistance band exercises. Resistance bands arent hard on you and its like stretching just a little harder. Feels good. I have chronic pain in both my ankles, my left wrist, all over my back/tailbone/neck.
  • Nuts and peanutbutter
  • It's embarressing and not the first thing I'd rather say if i don't have to....I didn't want people to judge me or make fun of me....
  • Honestly, I have Binge Eating Disorder and take Vyvanse for it (the only FDA approved med for it). It makes my brain forget about food, makes it easy to say no, makes me have a smaller appetite, l lose cravings. Only when im really emotional do i binge and so i usually keep thing that i would binge on out of the house.…
  • I tried everything else i could before opting for them. I see a pain managemeng doctor. Ive tried prescription nsaids, ice, heat, stretches, physical therapy, massage therapy sorta. So he gave me a pain patch. (I really wanted him to so imaging on my spine go make sure everything is okay. And if it could be fixed with a…
  • I actually did not know this. And I had urodynamic testing today because im having a lot of urinary issues. Thanks for telling me this!!
  • Oh my goodness only after 5 days??? That's scary.. Thank you for that!
  • I'm sorry I never replied to anyone, I never got any notifications like usual! I log accurately and then I purposely overlog just in case because I am paranoid. I have an eating disorder that I see a Psychiatrist and Therapist for. I go a while restricting then go from a few days to a few weeks bingeing. I know it's not…
  • I dont add anythinf to thicken it. Just some people do. So its literally just 7 cups water, 10 ounces milk, and two tbs butter. And i have celestial seasonings tension tamer tea and sleepy time tea. Both have chamomile. One has peppermint i think. But they make me a little nauseas because i drink them too fast lol. But i…
  • Thanks guys! I always thought you had to increase your water significantly to lose weight because if not your body will just hold onto it and make you retain water. But i guess not. So thank you!!
  • Oh i also loooooove atkins candy and sweets. Its made with artificial sweetners. Artificial sweeteners dont bother me at all. The Atkins reeses are my favorite!! :D
  • Halo top ice cream, whipped topping with vanilla extract frozen, ice breakers sours (just pop one or two in my mouth when i want something sweet), sugar free jolly ranchers (taste better and not sticky like regular and also just pop one or two when i want something sweet), kisses (one serving a day is 9 kisses, i will…
  • Thanks everyone for the feed back! Our landlord ordered a stove, but with the holiday it wont get here until thursday morning (he paid extra so we could still have a thanksgiving). We don't mind. Our landlord is very quick about everything. It has only been broke since yesterday. Dr. has me on low carb (no fruit) to help…
  • The frozen meals are temporary for everyday. Ill get back to trying oven cooking as soon as we get a new one. But there are days where ill still be eating them. Cooking everyday is hard for me and meal prepping all at once is too painful sitting in a wheelchair that long. Yes its satisfying. I thrive on eating the same…
  • I live with my mom, but she doesnt want to cook healthy. She wants fried chicken and fried potatoes. I would oven baked chicken and steamed veggies. But she says she wont cook two dinners. Kind if on my own. I do what I can. Oven is easier than trying ti reach the stove lol. And right now we have no oven or stove. Its…
  • I tried to get my mom to eat least cook and eat a little healthier but, her excuse was "I don't know how to cook any other way and I like what I eat." I have no support. She buys sodas (luckily her favorite is ones I hate). My thing is, she is constantly offering me junk food and food that will hinder my success for me. I…
