Oh wow, this is kinda neat to me, I'm currently doing CBT workbooks for my anxiety, and I recognized Beck right away! I have been looking up stuff on Amazon to buy that is based on all this. I never thought about using it with dieting, though, huh.

One of my new favorite snacks are the lightly salted plain rice cakes with peanut butter spread on top of it! I buy the no sodium/added sugar organic peanut butter, so, it's not as sweet as regular peanut butter. But it doesn't really trigger anything for me, hunger/craving wise, but I also don't get triggered by carbs (I…

I can't remember the last time I was under 300 pounds... Maybe before my wedding, back in 2009. In other news, my primary diagnosed me…

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this link! I have been researching a lot since yesterday when she told me to go on the low FODMAP diet, but it's all so overwhelming. Especially since 90% of the stuff I have in the house is high FODMAP foods, because they are things I'm supposed to eat with my liver/diabetes stuff. So,…

I have no idea what's gonna be for dinner coming up. My doctor is now testing me for celiac disease and lactose intolerance. So, I have to minimize dairy and also go on a low FODMAP diet for the next four weeks... And I have nooooo idea what to do :p But I am going in for blood work on Monday to test for celiac, so if I'm…

I don't usually eat them back, that's just how my dietician had me doing this. But, with my TOM, I'm eating some of them back for the next couple of days :p

So, quick question. The app still won't sync up with my fitbit for my steps/exercise for today. I did a light workout on the bike today, and according to my fitbit, I burned 256 calories. I know that's not exactly accurate because it... I don't remember what I read, it does something like adding in the calories you'd…
-
This isn't exactly a while, and it's not about me or anything, it's just more of a frustration with the app today :p First, this morning, it wouldn't let me get into the boards to see anything, it kept saying that Community was not available. Then, I kept trying to put in a new recipe for dinner tonight (just a basic chili…

I'm trying to bring myself to post more! Unfortunately, a lot of times my anxiety is too high so I struggle to comment. But I do read everything! I'm still chugging along, counting my calories and doing my exercises. Lately I've been getting back on the exercise bike. I had been doing cardio workouts through youtube (a…

Yeah, I've been playing some games or reading to try and keep my mind busy and off of my stomach :p I even briefly thought about getting a small glass of ice and trying to chew that, to maybe trick myself into thinking I'm eating. But, I very recently had dental work done and my teeth are very sensitive to cold right now.…

Try to get through the rest of the day without eating everything in the house! TOM is right around the corner, and holy crap, my stomach feels like it wants to revolt with how hungry I'm feeling this month. Hopefully the cut up apple and two tablespoons of no sodium/added sugar peanut butter will be enough for the rest of…

Hi all! Just curious, do any of you monitor your RHR? What was it before you started losing weight/exercising, and what is it now? Mine was around 70 before I started my diet, and now I'm staying steady around that 54-58 RHR. (I'm also trying to not freak out about it being too low, but, I know that as you become more fit…

It wasn't dinner, but, I made a pretty yummy breakfast today! Sundays are usually our big breakfast day of the week, the rest of the week my husband and I just scrounge around for stuff. This was an egg, cheddar cheese, bell pepper, onion, vegetarian sausage crumbles (that I added a little sage and sugar free maple syrup…

Just a quick, random question. As a heads up, I do have health anxiety, and am seeing someone about it on February 3rd. The past couple of days, I've noticed my right ankle feels puffy. It doesn't look puffy at all, but it has that sensitive feel to it (the skin) that it gets when it's puffy, but looking at it I can't tell…

Age 37 Height 5’9" Starting Weight: 390 lbs (June, 2020) Current Weight: 311.4 lbs Long Term Goal Weight: 155-160 lbs Short Term Goal Weight: 299 lbs I am so close to that 299. I know as soon as I hit it, I'm gonna cry :p
-
Oh wow, I might have to look into that. I've dealt with diarrhea for over 20 years since having my gall bladder removed, I've just gotten so used to it! Oddly enough, salad (lettuce, I think) is a big trigger for mine. And fatty foods, which I don't really eat anymore with my diet. But it's better than the pain I had with…
-
Those sound so good! I'm wondering how I can make them sugar free... I suppose I could buy the sugar free maple syrup, but, I'm not really a fan of it. (Not really a fan of maple syrup in general). Replacing it with honey is also sugar, hmm. Though, it doesn't really call for a whole lot, so, I can't imagine each…

My husband can now stand behind me, wrap his arms around my stomach, and actually lace his fingers together now, which is an awesome feeling. My jeans have also gotten uncomfortably saggy in the, uh, middle regions :p but I'm holding off on buying new jeans for as long as possible. Luckily I'm still not working, thanks to…
-
@eliezalot , thank you! I don't know why I never thought of doing option #1, but that's probably the route I'll go since I have a feeling my husband will like this dinner, so it'll probably make it into the rotation.
-
I think I've seen this asked before, but I can't remember where I saw it at. How do you all measure calories for things that are like gravy/sauces? For example. I'm going to make this smothered chicken in the crock pot today, and it's cooked in this gravy stuff (low fat cream of chicken, low fat cream of mushroom, onion…

Happy Thanksgiving from my family! I hope you all have a wonderful day! I'm also doing the whole OMAD and not stressing if I overeat. Like it's been said, it's only one day, and I've been moving around like heck today preparing everything, so I've kinda got a lot more steps in than usual. I figure that'll make up for the…

@conniewilkins56 congrats!! ♥️

I also heard that eating a banana helps with the swelling from water retention, too! Or, well, eating more potassium helps with it, I should say
-
I decided to pull out some pictures (so far I really only have face comparisons. Maybe eventually I'll do some whole-body ones, but, for now, enjoy these face differences!) to look at the difference I've made. This first picture is me and my husband on our anniversary before I started my weight loss journey and this second…

I'm choosing to count this as a NSV, but... Back in June, my a1c for my diabetes was 7.2, which my doctor told me was considered "uncontrolled diabetes", and if I didn't get it managed I might have to go on insulin (I'm just on metformin now, a pill, twice a day). She wanted to have it retested since I've lost so much…

Speaking of the holidays, does anyone here have any good sugar free desserts they've made? Or have any recipes you've wanted to try? I'm trying to think of a no added sugar type dessert I can make for Thanksgiving.

I know once you hit 199, that's considered Onederland (right?) Is there one for when you hit 299? I am now 27 pounds away from hitting that, and I was just curious :p

I remember when I first started dieting back in June of this year, after being diagnosed with severe Fatty Liver, that all fried foods was bad, and I avoided them so hard. I figured I couldn't lose weight eating it, and the dietician told me to avoid them (limit once a month), and avoid added sugar, because that's almost…
-
I don't think I'm going to worry too hard about Thanksgiving. When I first started my diet, I was freaking out about how I would handle Thanksgiving, but that was back in June. Since then, I have lost 60 pounds (holy crap, I can't believe I've lost 60 pounds since June...). I've been dealing with not being able to log…
