Oh I definitely don't walk with the pain... as soon as I feel it I quit... which sucks... but I got the treadmill given to me from a friend... I'm not in the position to get a bike or elliptical, or pay for gym membership...

Thank you!! I will definitely look into that... waiting on this referral really frustrating.. since October

Update: I needed to have a diet break... I must have not been eating enough calories. After being turned down for another job (makes like 5 now) i binged, 3 pieces of pizza, and quarter pint of ice cream. Next day 2 peices of pizza, half a pint of ice cream. Weighed to see the damage and I am down 2 lbs. Thanks all. I am…

It's the aftermath of the cancer that I'm having problems coping with... but when I started this in June, I knew I had reached the emotional maturity to stick with it and do it right... I think you are right though, these past couple weeks have been stress hell... and I'm not dealing well, usually i go to the park and walk…

I do understand that... that's why I said MFP hasn't been letting me close out my diary at the end of the days because my calorie intake has been too low... but at the end of the day I can't force myself to eat 600+ calories...

Everything is looser, my rings, pants and shirts... I keep trying to remind myself that strength training builds muscles and they worth more than fat... I might need to just makeover my goals... that has been the biggest stressor about this wall

Makes sense. What is carb cycling? I have heard of Keto and see people who swear by it... not sure if that is the best fit for me though.. I have been trying to put interval running back in my routine, since my foot has gotten better. I'm going to look up some HITT training now.

The hardest part about dieting for me is I have endometriosis, and living without a thyroid. So where one diet may be good for endo, it isn't necessarily good for the other... hormones.... whole and organic, fruits and vegis, and light meat... I am not eating all day long and I do portion them out... I honestly thought I…

Thank You!! I think cutting sugar, and empty carbs is what may have jumpstarted me, but everyone is right, I need to crack down on myself with counting calories and macros again... I waned for a bit there, and I'm not sure why... felt like I was fighting depression, walking is what usually helps with that, but as of late…

Okay, I didn't say I was starting at the bottom... I have a kitchen scale, and I am going to buckle down... but did you miss the part where I am already on medication. Since 2011 i have not had a thyroid... so if my medicine isn't high enough or low enough that could also be the reason I am so tired... we haven't changed…

Thank you. I've been losing momentum, just having a hard time being motivated or even disciplined...i was interval running, but I hurt my foot from doing too much... I think that's when my progress slowed tremendously.... I may habe to have my thyroid checked, I am on medication I have to take every day, due to cancer and…

I never said I was in maintenance...

I also cut way way down on red meat. Maybe once a week, if that. Turkey, chicken, and fish.

I'm not really dieting persay... I clean eat, cut sugar, and practice portion control. I raised my protein, cut empty carbs... I thought that would just be easier when I get to maintenance.

Since Sept 30th, my goal has been 6 lbs a month, and I have gained a lb since then. The first 40 melted off, and now I'm stuck

I like the way your mind works

Couldnt commit to it

That's seems to be about the only time for me too.

I had read to be careful, you can't find your way back?

That's what I'm lacking for sure is focus... breathe, what bills am i forgetting? Breathe, I'm going to fall asleep

Girl! These are all things I need to be doing! I've been running off or walk for an hour when I can, and clean eating, sometimes i would be able to get all my.calories in sometimes not. So the logging before eating is a great idea! I tried journaling, I just was running out of thing I could think of to write to get me back…

I have heard of this but was too terrified to try it.

Are you doing stuff to help with the stress?

Thank you! This is actually super helpful

No judgments here!

Thank you

The sarcasm is strong in these replies
