I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand yesterday and am looking for the same information. The doc said that my treadmill is a no go for awhile, and I'm nervous about derailing the work that I've done in the last 2 months, especially because my body seems to crave nothing but sleep and food right now. Is this normal?…

Thank you! I used to love to run, but I injured my foot and had to quit for a long time. I am finally back on my treadmill (yay! My favorite cardio!) and am taking it fairly slow out of fear of re-injury. I have gotten up to 3.5 mph since March and plan to keep increasing slowly. I get on the treadmill every day, not only…

These are awesome responses!

I measure everything and have been "narrowing down" my diet, i.e. reducing variety in order to not become overwhelmed while I learn to eat differently. I don't allow myself to keep a big deficit, bc I know that going any lower than 1200 will make me sick, and my doctor will kick my a** lol

My doc has "prescribed" the 1200 calorie intake with low carbs, fat, etc due to some health issues, but I can increase the calories after I get close to the weight that I should be for my height. And thank you for the kudos!

How do you cope with disappointment?

Definitely not a failure! I like reading about everyone's stories and feel happy for their results. I guess I am just very hard on myself

Thank you. I get discouraged at least once a week when I weigh myself and see very little change, or it goes up a pound or two (I know this is likely water, but it still disappoints). I just can't get that scale under 170, and I hate trying to shop for clothes, because I still can't wear anything much smaller.

Yes, and I have been working on it for about 6 weeks. The exercise part isn't too hard; I've been able to do that for 33-34 days, but the learning curve on the nutrition part is huge. I seem to go over on every macro every week, despite checking all labels, rejecting all foods that have high anything in them, and strict…

Thank you everyone!

Thank you. It's nice to know that others are trying to navigate the nutrition world. I never imagined that the learning curve would be this steep.

This sounds like something that I might like, especially because I hate to cook! Thanks!

Yes, kidney and heart problems, plus insulin resistance. Low protein for kidneys, low fat for heart, and low carbs for blood sugar control. I will ask him on Friday about a dietician, because my research is overwhelming, and I feel like I can't eat anything.
-
Are the percentages in the macro goals for the day or for the week? If it is for the week, I will blow it every week by Tuesday.

I'm looking for ideas for how to make 10,000 steps per day when I have a job that does not allow me to get up and move much, and we have no stairs to add a few. I use the treadmill in the morning, but I think that I might only be getting a thousand or so. Thanks!
