Hi I cant tell what date this was posted so, I am just jumping in, I am starting day 1 Bright Lines Eating Tomorrow, Monday 19th November 2018. Would love to connect with others. God bless you Vicky xoxox

Thanks everyone, I thought there was too many calories in exercise section too Will use wisdom, and hope that is a good guide Aim to eat nutritionally more God bless you xoxox

I am struggling with cost also, I cant tolerate dairy, and many vegetables and fruits and, want quality meats, ate eggs today for lunch and reacting which is only second time this week which seems to confirm they have to go too :-( Hoping this isnt really going to cost me what I think it will xoxox

Thanks 2t9nty and tcunbeliever :-) I am thinking that that was high for exercise calories it was only swimming and consistent but not vigorous by any means, so if I trust my gut will eat if hungry however, once I am low carb living properly I shouldnt find I am hungry in real terms but, might mean lunch like midday instead…

I know, and of course but, I live in a way many of my friends dont agree with for example I dont take medication unless life crucial so despite severe pain I choose the chiropractor approach than drugs, that is what is the root of my financial issues mostly, and so, it would be unfair to ask those who do not agree with my…

Thank you, I know, I just struggle in asking especially as in terms of income I am reasonably well off if the medical stuff wasnt needed, at this time I have food in freezer so, hopefully this provision today will see me through. God bless you xoxox

Thank you, God provision came freely without asking though, it was there and I am not meant to eat wheat or, potatoes but accept that 1100 calories is not adequate so will deal with gut issues to keep calories safer level of 1600 which is the lowest my doctor said I should go at my weight xoxox

158 cms 335 lbs xoxox

Thank you for understanding Made it to Church PRAISE GOD, I decided might as well go if I am going to be in pain then might as well be there and spiritually fed than home feeling sorry for myself. Due to cancellation of fireworks last night as it was a tad stormy ;-) there was food after so, I grabbed a coffee, and a jam…

Yes, I read it. I was just saying how things worked for me, and that it can be done. Just trying to be helpful and supportive. :confused:[/quote] Sorry didnt mean to snap, its difficult to balance the books, eat right, and cover medical care. Decision was made at 7.15 that I shall have to function with hip rotated until…

I do not have netflix, tv licence, or any extras. I pay the bills, water, electric, insurance, mobile is sim only, cheapest internet availalbe where I live, and council tax. I have a strict food budget however, that disappears if I need medical care so then its eat, start, healthcare. I dont have stuff to sell, and by the…

the nearest chiropractor to me who is on the NHS is 20 miles away by the time I pay hospital transport to get there it is just as expensive as seeing my private one, plus they are only allowed 6 sessions so, what do I do when those are used up? my hip is extremely painful as it has rotated externally so, my decision,…

Thanks everyone for your replies, WOW! I agree 1200 needs to be my minimum intake. Lots of lovely support thank you. Why three weeks, well I need to repay government money by April 5th (in this tax year) so, after three weeks it will be repaying that. After these three weeks my housekeeping budget for everything, my food,…

Thanks Danp :smile: O I like pizza too but sadly they dont like me but, get the philosophy behind your example. I am heading into a difficult few weeks or months as I am going onto an elimination diet to sort my gut out, and hopefully that will lead to better health, wider range of foods that dont make me ill so right now…

Thanks Danp :-) Yes, agree with both points, short term doesnt work if that is the vision, need long term, have long journey ahead. like the second point about changing things you can only see yourself changing long term, not sure if there are any of those, will have to ponder, pray and, find a goal to adapt to. God bless…

Thanks everyone Great ideas, and wonderful to connect with a group of people :-D Mini goals are great, I drink mostly water, herbal teas with occasional coffee As for exercise that is much more dependant on joints not popping out so that I can, only thing is swimming not allowed to do weight bearing so, not managed to swim…

Thanks for your reply manderson I agree mini goals are crucial, I shall set my first mini goal as to weigh 339 lbs which is 6 lb loss taking me under 25 stone (I know I work in stones but, will try to remember to translate) lol My HUGE goal is reach somewhere between 112 lbs and 123 lbs but, that is a LONG way away. Baby…

you might want to check for sleep apnea if you are constantly waking tired, took a while for me to realise that was my issue do you nap or walk, well that depends on if you are getting enough sleep and exercise outside of work 8 hrs needed and exercise half hour a day minimum preferably more remember more sleep, and…

So, today is the day! Weighed, 355lbs OUCH! 243lbs to lose which is around what I thought as you can see from yesterdays post where I speculated my weight. Now I know its the long haul so, my birthday is in June which means I have a goal of 31 months to reach target for my 52nd Birthday! Here's to the Long Haul! God bless…

Thank you for your reply I know that is my aim, to get to healthy numbers, around 245 lbs to lose but, I didnt get this big overnight, and it wont disappear overnight either Long Haul ahead!!! Glad you got to goal, WELL DONE Rocknut53 :-D Here's to success for me in the next couple years God bless you xoxox

Hi Crystal I understand the motivation issue, am not about to do a half marathan in October but, feel free to add me, I have a long road ahead so will be around, I log in most days, and am getting closer to being on track, have managed somehow PRAISE GOD to lose 4.5 lbs this week so that is a good motivation for me to keep…

Thanks for your reply Ahh I cant have shellfish at all, and yes I tolerate small amounts of chard but not kale or cabbage but oh my that is awfully cheap to get shellfish, would be double that price in UK God bless you xoxox

Thanks for your reply There are good proteins, expensive but good, veggies are good too, its keeping to only 100 grams of either carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, swede, squashes per meal, and then some other veggies That often means as my body doesnt cope with a pile of fat due to gallbladder am often at around 700-800…

thanks for your reply they do deliver, but they do not do raw organic goats milk so I cant have it but, good idea otherwise God bless you xoxox

Thanks for your reply, Yes I am and yes they deliver but their goats milk is not raw, it has to be organic and raw for benefit but thanks God bless you xoxox

Thanks for your reply I always eat fat with carbs and generally proteins too but not carbs alone (fat source is from lamb and beef) I cant change the inflammation in my body, my joints dislocate at will so I always have inflammation which is why I have calcification of my tendons etc also always seem to have low grade…

Thanks, list isnt too horrendous, I cant eat raw foods except fruit, no herbs really, onions and bell peppers definitely a no, meat I tend to use about 150 grams, and I cant have more than 100 grams of starchy veg so either squash, or carrots, or sweet potato per meal else my blood sugars go wild, although this week they…

Thanks for your reply I eat mostly days 4 time, which is often enough, I cant eat beans and pulses as I cant digest them I move as much as I can, wouldnt risk moving arms in air as would dislocate shoulders etc Only exercise potentially ok is in water God bless you xoxox

Thank you for your reply. I have not tried to tape it as when I do the movement involve I dislocate the other shoulder, have only carers on some days so not asked them too, and not tested the K Tape yet to see if I can cope with the adhesive but, thank you for reminder, might invest in some next week when I get paid.…

Thank you for your reply. Yes, will post the list below of foods definitely okay to eat, however, am using antihistamines right now whilst I figure it out! Carers make my food because I cannot, so no there is no way for me to make them however, they know I need to lose weight, I tell them to think of what they need, and…
