I just started about 2 months ago, and for the first month I did nothing but track. I weighed 245 and am looking to loose 100. Now I'm at gen stage where I play with the calories. The next stage is to actually change what I'm eating. That last part is important because this is what I've learned the hard way. Loosing weight…

Yes, it was for frozen yogurt. I think regular yogurts have a disgusting texture

That's actually a myth. It might work if it doesn't land you in the hospital or flat out kill you, but for real desensitization, you need shots by a doctor. Trying to do it yourself is a guaranteed way to ruin your health. It's the same as 'trying' just a tiny bit of peanut butter if you're allergic to peanuts.

You're right, but I'm still new at this. What should the proportions be with frozen peaches?

I do have a pollen allergy. It's a fact. Processed supermarket honey doesnt have any effect on me. No pollen I guess. Thanks. I'll stick to supermarket honey

Are you trying to avoid acid?

The problem is I've been experimenting for months and my results have all been disgusting. 9x out 10, I dump it out instead of eat it and right now i haven't one in months. But I am willing to admit my digestive system worked better when I had them. I want to go back to them even if they weren't very filling because I can…

I do like apples, bananas, and stone fruits. But I'm sadly allergic to citrus, berries, and melons. So that's like 80% of fruits. It's easier to ask for a recipie for a no fruit one than one that just has bananas, apples and stone fruits.

My macros are bad. Too many carbs and fat and the like. Not enough vitamins. Usually half and half on the proteins. But what do I do about it? It seems kind of random. I will admit I dont know what I'm doing

I'm not ready to open my diary. As for how many calories it's just over 1600, so it should be plenty. It's not though for a whole day. I have low activity levels and weigh 245. And I'm about 5.2

It might not burn calories, but being more flexible makes you want to move more and that burns calories.

Check with your doctor. Theres a good chance the drug was also supressing your appetite. And if that is the case you might need to learn to eat the 'Right' foods again.

Me too. New here. Need to loose 100lb

I need yo loose 100 pounds. Currently I'm at 245 an 5.2 I'd like to be 150ish (if I can get close, I'm good)

It's not aggressive. Only a 1 lb a week. Yet I'm still hungry on it

Yes, I do end up overreating and not on healthy stuff. On junk. So you really think it might be a hydration issue?

. This is true. I dont add sugar, but I do add dates and nut butter. And course the non dairy milk itself are not low calorie foods

That sounds like what I should do. But how do you stop being hungry all day?

That would be me. Over 40 and needing g to loose 100lb. How do I add you?

My lungs were checked because I've had a dry cough for over a year and they wanted to make sure it wasn't a lung issue. Once it was determined it wasn't, they looked for other causes like reflux.

My scale does the same thing. I dont feel I can trust it

You could be right. But I'm not looking for a diet, I'm looking for a real lifestyle change. Loosing 100lb in 2 years sounds like something I cant possibly stick with for the rest of my life. I'd rather learn how to eat for health than weight loss and that takes time.

Just keep in mind, parts for cars are easier and cheaper to replace than parts for bodies.

Massages are good. But not for that reason. They dont seperate anything the just untighten, which is worth it

1. I love candy corn. 2. A little girl came to my house last night with a group. She was dressed up but she didn't have a pail. She said she couldn't have my treat. I felt bad because I had nothing for her. Next year I'd love to have a treat for her. But if I bought a coloring book or something, wouldn't all the kids want…

Thanks everyone. Great advice.

Iron levels I'm not sure. But I eat a lot of meat. Thyroid is fine. It actually shocked us both. Before the test she said if it was borderline she'd give me the medicine anyway since I had symptoms, but it wasn't even borderline. As for how much sleep I actually get. I'm not sure. I leave myself 8 hours but I dont know how…

It is possible because I've been doing it for years. I go to bed with plenty of time to sleep. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and cant fall back to sleep fast. And yes, mornings are hard.

. I'm going to try walking for a week and see how it goes. Thanks all.

I sleep in the back of my car. Its daylight and private property and safe. I do keep the doors locked. And yes, I do fall asleep. I have an alarm on my phone that wakes me.
