If you dont already, start tracking your food. Can you increase your activity? Use this time while on the med to learn how to eat. You can set yourself up for success by changing habits now.

beta blockers are to basically make your heart beat more effectively. it wont interfere with weight loss. you should feel better and have more energy if your afib is controlled. just fyi. my heart rate runs in the 40's. still have lost 100lbs

I always tracked it from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep. I always tried to work my days in a row. So if I woke up at 7am and didnt go to bed until the next day at 9am I would track that all on one day.

i only do it for my work days. Im a nurse and work 3 12 hour shifts a week. I meal prep lunch and a dinner. I have a protein drink for breakfast. It depends on what you cook, and how it will last. If I work 5-6 days a week i prep for all those but make it something I can freeze and take out later in the week. It really…

I dont share everything. I keep my journey privet. All my friends and family know i love working out. I ver ask anyone to go with me. I meal prep so there isnt the temptation to go out and eat

I'm guessing you cut out a bunch of food to lose weight initially. You can really eat anything you want just within your calories. Weigh and track everything.

way too low!!!!

You skip weighing the mayo or syrup? Thats big calories that add up quick. Weigh and track everything.

Macros ink is amazing! They have a facebook group and website.

why are you eating that little??

normal

Mines in the 30s occasionally even when im awake.

IN my weight loss journey, goodwill was my friend. I would buy just enough to get me through. store donate stuff so I could fine decent items. Old navy has a great clearence section. Jeans for under 5 bucks. I lost 100 pounds and didnt want to buy all the things I needed until i was at or very near goal.

old navy clearance section has jeans under $5

I did an online calculator to figure out what my goal weight maintenance calories were. For me they were about 2400. I had about a 100 pounds to lose, so I set my calories to 2400. So basically eating at a deficit to lose weight set me up for maintenance. Training myself how to eat my maintenance calories and not feel…

RN here! Atomic habits is an awesome book. I follow james clear and he posts some of the stuff. I started really tracking food and losing weight during nursing school. Food prep became a requirement. It was so helpful to have my food really to go for those 5 am clinicals. Going for walks helped with the stress of school…

why does it have to be clean?? Ive lost 100 pounds and have had ice cream basically every day

I love walking! Ive been listening to some awesome podcasts. There is a book called atomic habits and there are some really good ideas and mindsets. As I walk I totally get sucked into listening to it. I have to b careful to find a podcast that is a match to the time I have to walk. I am hypoglycemic- not diabetic. I am…

mattress?? I realized my mattress needed replacing after I slept on a different mattress and actually slept well

How much are you eating now? still losing? how much are you losing a week?

My fitbit said i would burn 3500 calories at my heaviest. So I figured I would try 2400. I stuck to that and in 6 weeks lost 15 pounds. So I stayed at 2400. Lost 100 pounds. It may take some trial and error to figure out your calories and how accurate your calorie burn on your fitbit.

I found working on my mental health is what was needed to get my eating disorder in check. I take zoloft for depression. I notice when Im anxious about something the old ED habits want to attack. Now Im in a place i can recognize and smash them away! I think we can all benefit from therapy. Once I was on zoloft for a bit…

wtg!!!!! way to take control of your health!!

Ive been doing crossfit and follow macros. What are you macros at? Weight height age. use a food scale? tracking 100%?

That is awesome!!

hiking and kayaking!

my anxiety and depression make me lose control of my appetite. Once I got that under control my eating got so much better. When those spikes I binge eat for a few days.

For the first month I think its fine. if at the 2 month mark still losing 3.5 pounds a week start adding some calories back. When I was 230's and started I lost 20 pounds in the first 6 weeks and then it leveled off to about 2 pounds a week. I figured it was a lost of water weight

They need to see a doc. They are malnourished, cardiac illness, hormones impaired, libido, hair, skin nails, weak bones, low muscle mass,

awesome work!! Its pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I can never see myself not logging food. its way to easy to lie to myself about what im eating!
