Therapy, figure out possible triggers. Learn some additional cooking techniques to spread cals out...

Well at that weight she isn’t fine. Do this together!

Yep; add me I’ll be around awhile. SW 236, CW 209, first goal 189; then 160, ultimately 140. Age 46; I started this nov 12

Cook together

Well I’m still at the same weight, but my range is 209-211 mostly, doing pool work not enough low impact. 2 days cals were over, but not by much. Still hopeful I’ll reach 207. TOM hit me Feb 7 and never stopped, multiple hormone pills by obgyn to try to stop it, so I’ll take the maintenance. Really motivated to get to…

Because it’s awful to congratulate approaching death. Irony - finally look great too bad it’s because you are dying....that’s why I said woo - its terrible

Can you get in the water and do water walking/jogging? Be diligent in logging, you can get there!!!!
-
I had to pick up a drink and creamer at the gas station on Monday. I wanted something to snack on - I'm more salty than sweet that being said, after reading all the packet calories, I just said no and got my diet soda. I think reading labels really helps - especially if I look at a small bag of chex mis and realize its…
-
if you have an aldi they have fit and active single drink mixes for water at 5 cals each. I put 2 packets raspberry lemonade in a big cup of water about 32 oz with lime wedges. helps a bit.... double check your water need - your amount seems low side.

bdus and diesel fuel, haha

46...cw210, lost 27 in last 4 months, 5'6'' I want to hit under 200 by Jun 1. My first phase goal will be achieved when I reach 189. Ideally I would love to be 140....but that's a long road. 165 might be achievable by the end of the year if I log every day for the rest of the year. That's my plan.
-
sounds like you stopped tracking repeatedly....so this time keep tracking...lifelong commitment. Even in maintenance phase. A lot of people can gain weight drinking simply 1 extra beverage a day - frapachinno, or big regular soda, that's all it takes to rack it back up.
-
Ive lost almost 30 lbs, still have about 50 to go, but I'll take the wins when I can find them, I looked back and realized that my flexibility to look behind me had significantly increased, I"m like whoa, I didn't know I could twist that far back - I could actually see behind myself...I really don't remember being able to…
-
One oz of cheese is shockingly small and typically 100 cals. Skip the salad bars, you can eat almost your daily requirements with one salad that has cheese and dressing. Unless it’s all veggie no dressing. I use lime juice 10-20 cals). Once you weigh 3 oz of chicken you can eyeball it - typically wings are over 100 cals…

I’m under doctors care and wellness coach, my weight loss is not aggressive, slightly over a lb a week. My metabolism is very slow, I work a desk job and can’t do things like stairs due to a spine issue. 1000 is the minimum cal floor, and I’ve never gone under it. I’m trained in culinary skill, so weights and measuring is…
-
My goal is 1200, I adjusted to 1050, prevents me from overeating- but I’m sedentary and have been working with wellness coach. I also aim for whole fats and slightly lower carb. My vitamins are about 100 cals. I do not get many cals from beverages so bulk of cals are very deliberate. No room for a binge. I’ve been losing 5…
-
You are “cheating” once a week that could make the difference. You might be making errors in cal logging. Even one mint can have 40 cals. Log all vitamins too. Don’t do a cheat day, get a food scale and metal measuring cups, note the line inside the cup. Pay close attention to everything you are drinking.

By taking care of yourself, you take better care of your kids. Your kids may or may not be overweight but often larger moms have larger kids giving them a more difficult start. Congrats on your accomplishments. Very short time - keep up the focus.

SW: 236 CW: 209-212 GW: 189 (at least phase 1). Keep cals under 1200 daily, closer to 1050 daily (I am sedentary) Pool jogging 2x per week Home low impact 2x per week Weigh in under 207 at the end of March Just lost my wellness coach to a job change - hope to find another one before months end Add iron, based on recent lab…
-
I recommend setting a phase 1 goal of 5 lbs below what you achieved in 2017, once you get there set a new goal. Visit your doctor get labs, ensure your bloods are all good. Set your cals to sedentary if you sit at work mostly. I have found my cal goals are 1200 per day to lose 1-1.5 a week, I swim/water jog 3 times a week…
-
I weigh everyday to see my ranges. Last month was 216 to 219; this month 209 to 212; I’m trending down. If I have a weird spike I can examine what happened, sodium, need more water etc.... I started in Nov at 236, and I weigh 3-4 times a day....keeps me honest.
-
Yes, but no more than 1200 cals a day, and light workouts.
-
Get measuring cups, scale for food, log everything. Set yourself as sedentary, focus on the cals for a month. Stop drinking sugar drinks or alcohol if you do. Make a list of your fav junk food and don’t eat it for a month. See where it takes you. Leave your diary open and have friends who will read your diary and help keep…
-
Add a cup of black coffee, or one sunsweet individually wrapped prune (25cals) a day, also add a fish oil tablet or two (15 cals each) - up your water a little. You aren't drinking enough water likely as well. The 64 oz's probably only covers your workout. You are dehydrated.
-
I think you might be overreacting at least to the work situation, just ignore the chatter. As for your mom and her friend pretty typical conversation guessing she is a close friend of your moms....but tell your moms friend or have your mom maybe address it to be less specific. Perhaps, you look great would suffice.
-
Unfortunately, I too am sedentary - desk job. Not sure how many steps, but I only lose weight when I eat 1050-1200 calories. I do household work, I do some gardening, I do work out in the pool 3 times a week. Once I'm over that calorie level, I'm in maintenance mode. I am however 5'6 and 46 years old. Age has a lot to do…
-
Oh, and based on your self-assessment, I recommend you work with a professional wellness coach (not a gym coach necessarily), but one you can work through specific goals and get past challenges. Note, I eat almost everything, but it is "portion" that is the key, as well as balanced. Eating salad a week straight would be…
-
The portion size is important. Buy a scale, and a good set of measuring cups (I prefer the metal with the mark on the inside for size). Write EVERYTHING down in your log. Even that mint you had from the candy dish, or packet of sauce. You will be surprised on what adds up, and quickly make other choices. For example, a…

That's probably accurate, however due to my work, I can't use hemp products. But I do think its probably a combination of reasons, maybe some other oils I should use on a regular basis.

Couldn't resist this one.
