Oh, I forgot about the FODMAP. You mentioned it, sorry. I think the tricky part here is that some of the low FODMAP foods are bad for gastritis, like berries, for example. In this case, it does complicate things a bit, but it is still possible to have a good variety of things to eat that still fit both low FODMAP and…

@Terytha I will say what I had to stop eating and maybe it will help you. I spent one year treating my gastritis. What I was told to avoid: Caffeine. I had to avoid coffee completely since it was probably the biggest reason I had gastritis in the first place, I used to drink coffee literally all day long... As I finished…

@jugar I've heard that earthworms are great so I am just hoping I'll get used to it. And I do wear gloves, I just can't help to dislike how the worms look. My husband does get a good laugh out of this as well. Your son sounds like me as a teenager, when I got obligated to do things I had no interest in I would do it but I…

What you described sounds a lot like what I felt. In my case, I spent months ignoring the pain, just thinking it was a bad cramp until one day, at work, I had to be rushed to a hospital because I was feeling so much pain that I couldn't move and stop crying. It was crazy! The gastroenterologist said he was surprised I was…

@jugar and @micki48 thank you! I have a great walking companion, my sweet dog always requires his morning walk. My big goal for this month is to start going for a walk/run late afternoon, alone, so I can have a better pace. My Spike is an old man already, hitting his 13 years of age so I need to keep up with his slow but…

@Terytha, I tried going back to find when you explained what you're feeling but I had no success. I am asking because you mentioned gastroenterologist and pain and I have had my fair share of problems of the sort. The biggest, worst of all and most recent one being gastritis. Diet definitely helped, there were a few things…

This is great!

Oh my. I love cake and pie. And donuts. Pretty clear what got me in trouble. Haha. Would a slice of cake or pie fit on your calories for the day? I am fighting myself here to not attack all the sweets my husband has at home.

Username: @berriesandsunshine Weigh-in day: Friday Starting weight: 152 Current weight: 152.5 I had dropped to 150 at the beginning of the week but then I had Aunt Flo visit and my weight went up again. Nothing out of the normal, so next week we will see my real weight.

I went over my calories today. I decided last minute to change my dinner plans (forgot to defrost the chicken, lol) and it ended up going over what I had planned for the day. Oh, well. Life happens. But I had my walk and tomorrow I'll get back on track.

@jugar Thank you! The exercises I enjoy are walking and anything sport-related. I play tennis with my husband and walk every day. Now the exercises that I don't like but still try to do are workouts in general. I hate going to the gym so I workout from home watching videos.

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be part of this team! I've been battling weight loss for almost 3 years now, my goal is to lose 35 pounds in total but I am having a hard time sticking to any diets, exercise plans, etc that I try. In total so far I've lost 10 pounds so I still have another 25 to go. My biggest struggle is…
