Constipation can cause an increase in weight also.

Also consider opening up your diary for folks to check out and come up with tips, suggestions etc.

When you have large weight shifts in a short amount of time it is likely due to fluid shifts. The key is to stay hydrated and your electrolytes like sodium at a sane healthy level. I would suggest a visit to your dr to check on your electrolyte levels and rule out things that could account for your weight shifting from day…

I am so forgetful at times, that I have my phone handy as I weigh and log my meals. I try to make a good guesses when I eat out and don't know what calories are in this and that.

Watch what you tell yourself. Beating yourself up saying that you suck does nothing for your self esteem. Plus you teach your boy to get down on himself like you do. Some family counseling could be helpful. Have you tried the YMCA summer camp for your kid? Or a local boys and girls club? Or a local sports team perhaps ,…

Excercise boosts endorphins , so try to get moving with aerobic excercise such as jogging, swimming, hiking, cycling, cardio equipment etc. Look into joining you local YMCA. If money is an issue you can apply for a scholarship.

Ideas: steamable potatos in a bag, uncle Ben's ready rice, campbells healthy request chunky soups ( split pea, chunky country vegetable beef soup, other varieties). Healthy Choice meals.

Pure Protein bars and Kirkland Protein Bars.

For many folks, easing your way into healthier lifestyle changes is helpful. I started with logging my foods first. Then when I felt ready, I also added more excercise to the mix. Logging your foods that you have eaten helps you gain more understanding of which foods fill you up/which foods keep you satisfied longer, and…

I found this, that a combination of both aerobic excercise and strength training helps your cholesterol levels become within normal limits. Link below: https://www.everydayhealth.com/high-cholesterol/treatment/fitness-and-cholesterol/

I believe aerobic excercise is what really benefits the cholesterol numbers, anaerobic not so much. I will Google it.

If your are in pain I would drop the zumba or modify it to low impact. Best excercises for you are include recumbent bike or recumbent elliptical. Or a stationary bike. Be sure the seat is adjusted correctly, have a staff trainer help you the first time. As suggested earlier, ultimate best swimming and swim fitness classes…

And a bigger booty. Lol

When counting calories, the little things really do add up in calories and in macros.
-
In addition to diet: Don't forget that excercise also helps to lower your bad cholesterol and raise the good cholesterol.

With so many foods being free, why bother logging? Plus MFP is free or cheaper (if you use premium). Jmo

I love the kirkland/costco protein bars. Especially the cookie dough flavor. Hope they don't discontinue them. I was going to get some this week. :(

My biggest struggle has been staying away from fast food. Too much salt, too much hidden sugar calories. I know I do best by eating healthier foods, but I get too busy and/or too hungry to focus on eating better while watching my calorie intake. I know what I need to do diet wise, but I too often drift towards the easy…

Please go talk to your cardiologist and tell him how much fluids you drink daily. If your dr has you on a diuretic, you need to let him know how much water you drink daily.

Whoa! That is a lot of water for one day.

Sending a request. :)

A low protein diet can lead to anemia, by causing your number of red blood cell to decrease in number. This decrease causes a multitude of issues in the body. For example, the red blood cells carry the oxygen to the cells that need oxygen, so a low protein diet csn cause severe fatigue. Low protein diets can cause hair…

Or consuming too much sodium in processed foods or restaurants. Fluid retention. Plus starving yourself can lead to your body's producing excess cortisol which then causes weight gain and weight fluctuations.

Why not?

Find excercises you enjoy doing. Maybe start out on recumbent bike and recumbent elliptical if you go to a gym and they have them. Try water activities like water walking/water jogging, water zumba, water fitness, or lap swimming (ymcas often have pools and various nice cardio equipment?) Try low impact fitness classes.
-
BOTH. I exercise for weight loss (health and fitness). And for some reason I only get 1200 kcals a day. . But alas I swim a lot, so I am not deprived or starved due to eating back some of my exercise calories.

I will send you a PM on the app inbox and you can add me from there.

Cardio type excercises. Run/jog/walk, swim, cycling, elliptical, water aerobics/aqua zumba, aerobics/zumba, rowing, hiking, etc.
