Hi, I have ME, (basically my brain and inside my spine are chonically inflamed) and the last 2-4 months I have been eating added sugar free, no gluten and no dairy. And it's definitely improved my symptoms a lot. I'm in a lot less pain and have less brainfpg, plus my digestion is finally happy. From what I've heard you…

Uhm hi, fellow Prozac user here and I did lose over 3 pounds in a year. So no.

Hi, Im also chonically ill and have had pots symptoms in the past. Maybe you could try some in bed laying down exercises? All you need is yourself and a bed/floor to lay down on. You can do stuff like leg raises, abbs and back, maybe even try some situpps. I know a few people that have pots and do yoga since it's supposed…

I went away for the weekend and the weather was a lot colder than expected. So I bought a coat since I didn't bring one. It's an L and I can sorta close it. The minigoal here is to be able to close it comfortably before the weather is also cold back at home. Which is Max a month or so

I've stopped wearing my Polar. (Basically same as Fitbit) I don't obsess over the ammount I'm (not) exercising anymore. I still try to be active and get up so I don't sit still for hours at a time. The victory here is that i don't have to think about it anymore. I just do it. It's becoming a habit. Also, I'm fitting back…

YAAAYYY I DID IT I felt amazing the whole day! On to the next goal of losing one kg in the next two weeks :)

I fit into the dress! I bought a dress online for my best friend's wedding. The sizing was different and I bought it too small. When I first got it I thought there was no way I'd fit into it. But then I did. And it was a beautiful wedding and I was able to enjoy myself without worrying about not fitting it.

Feeling great in a dress for the first time in years next week! It's my best friend's wedding

My hands are thinner. I'm just hoping my fingers will catch up 😶 Clothing I recently purchased is now too big. I'm looking at you, summer shorts and bras! Thankfully though I bought them waaayyyy cheaper than I usually get them. I tried to keep in mind I wouldn't be fitting them for too long. I bought my first bralette…

So I had a bit of a... Situation this week. I was wearing shorts and they practically fell off of my body. I didn't think to put a belt on with them, thinking there was no way I'd need it bc I'd didn't lose that much, right? Well, apparently I was wrong. My shorts were hanging so low it was embarrassing, but at least I…

I suddenly realized while reading this in bed on my stomach, that my right hand was feeling my hip bone

I felt like crap and lonely. So what do I do? I debate with myself, know I'm already over my calories but I just want ittt... So I open the packet, put it in the microwave and BAM! I DIDNT EAT IT. I know it's small but I've only been back on track for about two weeks and I'm just so happy I stopped myself from an emotional…

I find it's best to just give myself and my body a break during that time. My emotions and my cramps are making me suffer enough, I'm not going to make it worse by eating 1200 cals So yeah, I also either maintain or make sure to have nothing in the house. When u don't have it I can't eat it..

^this. This is so important.

Bump

Yay!

I have 8 weeks till a wedding and I would love to fit the dress I got for it. I need to lose about an inch so I'm sure I can do it

I used to always be hungry every 2 hours. That was when I worked out a lot. Like, 3-5 hours daily. Not doing thhag anymore helped me but what mostly helped was stretching eating just half an hour longer. And then have a tiny snack. Currently I am in the position of (almost) forgetting to eat but I need to take my…

I have ME and my oxygen doesn’t go into my cels. I’m not very good at explaining, sorry, this is my second language, but my muscles are in a constant state of “acidification” (not sure if that’s the right word, used google translate) The oxygen levels in my blood are fine and also my lungs are fine but the acidification is…

Btw I will keep on taking it no matter what you guys say so don’t worry, I’ll follow my doctors orders

This week I’m trying to stick under my calories for 5 days and maintenance for 2. I read this somewhere here and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. It will still make you lose weight but also allows for two days with a little more room to spare. Also, when I say under calories, I mean under 1860. So nothing crazy like…

Maybe try to get fitted? My bra size changes every 15-20 pounds so maybe that’s true for you also. I’ve noticed my bras getting less comfortable when they get too big, especially the bandsize. The wire then sits in the wrong place and hurts

Despite all my reasons/excuses, I’m still here. Chronically ill without any energy but I’m still logging. And logging honestly. Right now it doesn’t matter to me how long it will take, as long as at some point the weight goes off. Not so much of a NSV as a reminder to me and others. You are still here. You’re still working…

Congrats! Some medications really do mess with you... even when they’re needed. I gained about 20 kilos in a year from one. Glad I’m now on another an finally able to lose weight. I’m so happy for you after struggling for this long you finally see some results!

Yes. Everything is better than nothing tbh. However I would recomand going on a walk everyday. To me, getting a dog was the best thing I could do for my weight loss journey. I’m not saying you should get a dog, but I am saying you should try get in a bit more “sneaky” exercise. That can actually help a lot. Meaning you…

Keep logging this entire week. I don’t care about the amount of calories, I just have to get back into logging properly. And with properly I don’t mean logging to the gram and ml but actually logging all the things I eat. I’ve been off the wagon for a while and I’m just getting back at it so after two days I sure can do a…

Add me :)

Yeah, I just found that there is indeed truth in that. I just wish there wasn’t haha

Yes I suppose that’s true but I can’t wait for that to happen!
