@jamcnewman @biketheworld @Mrs_Hoffer I do so appreciate your support. My husband has other good points, treats me well in other ways, and for that reason I have stayed for 34 years. However, supporting my weightloss, and at times supporting me other ways emotionally, is not his strong area. It was less than a year ago…

We went grocery shopping, mostly for veggies, and left them in our cold garage when we returned and found the electric company had…

✅ Exercise: 20 minutes rowing machine, 45 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) I dont do New Year´s resolutions. For me, that feels like doing things on someone else´s timetable and I can´t get my inner rebel on board. My goals are set during moments when they are important to me and I feel I can…

@hannahwinner20 IMO it is totally optional how often you weigh. Like you, I do not think it is helpful psychologically for me to to weigh every day. The only reason I weigh even every week is because I am in a different group that requires it. Here I don´t believe there is a requirement. I know there are some here who at…

@johnwayne1789 Welcome to the group. Like you, I was found to be near type 2 diabetes a few months ago and am focusing on reversing insulin resistance. I read a lot, and learned that the gut microbiome is very important for helping counteract insulin resistance. I especially have tried to get a lot of resistant starch…

✅ Exercise: Walking while shopping ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) This was my first day to water fast all day long (I ended the 34 hour fast today, Saturday). I had planned it to be 36 hours but my blood pressure elevated and was staying high after a nights sleep so I took that as my signal that I may not be…

I was praying this morning for anyone who had to be in a hospital for any reason-- at least…

Decided to stay home a bit longer. I know I may eventually get…

@Arc2Arc MyFitnessPal calculations assume that ¨a calorie is a calorie¨ and ¨calories in, calories out.¨ By their calculations, you would lose as much weight eating 1500 calories of cookies, as you would eating 1500 calories of raw spinach. But the reality is that the quality of your food, types of food, how the food is…

Do you track everything? Every day? Or do you skip higher calorie times? I track everything everyday (when I am trying to lose weight). I lost 75 pounds tracking everything. Got to my goal, stopped tracking and gained 85 over the next 7 years. When I finally got myself going again I told myself I would never stop tracking…

✅ Exercise: 13000+ steps of walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) @mshawski, @Juliexx00 I am totally with you all about the treadmill. I hate it. I have one and tried to get used to it, but recently realized that no matter how silly it probably looks, when it is cold outside I prefer walking little laps around…

✅ Exercise: 65 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) Between the rates of Omicron and the cold here today, it was another day to stay indoors and walk around my basement while listening to interesting stuff. Tloday it was Steven Gundry. I am also reading his book, The Energy Paradox, feeding my…

@Arc2Arc One question to ask yourself might be how often are you going to go out to eat? If it is only very occasionally and you maintain a good diet the rest of the time, you will probably be able to indulge a bit. Also, I learned recently in the book ¨Metabolical¨ that 20% of obese people are actually metabolically…

✅ Exercise: several walks during fasting, 11,000 steps ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) Not sure that the walking worked out that well for exercise during fasting. All the other times of fasting hunger has been a fleeting thing. After walking a lot in the morning, for the first time the hunger in the afternoon…

@WhatMeRunning Thank you, That is extremely helpful. Yes, I would expect you and I could have many interesting conversations also. Did I see that you are also a Kansan? I live a bit North of Wichita. @Mrs-Hoffer That is good to know. I appreciate your sharing that. Who I was watching was Dr. Alan Goldhammer, who owns a…

Like most of you, I have kind of ignored this group since it hasn´t been active. But I wanted to share this with Ladybug8882021 and thought it might interest others as well. How have you all been doing…

I haven´t been at this too long (have had my charge a bit over a month) but it seems to work best not to manually enter any of my exercise in MyFitnessPal and instead just have it synced add my calories from exercise. The only downside is that it doesn´t seem to add the calories until the end of the day often, so my…

@ mshawski I think you should consider that you might be working too hard at it and it might help to incorporate a day of rest. Last time I lost a large amount of weight I also had a workout schedule very similar to yours. I eventually developed high hamstring tendonitis (literally a pain in the butt) and saw a few…

@WhatMeRunning That is so helpful. It made me think about what I read recently that one of the things that cause people problems can be overdoing it in working out. I read that one of the things that can put an instant stop to fat burning is having your heart rate elevated at the high end or above the aerobic range for too…

I am back for my 4th month of UAC. The group support here is important and helpful to me. I am trying to lose about 60 more pounds, continue to reverse metabolic syndrome, to lower my insulin levels and A1c (that is just into prediabetic range now). I retired from seeing psychotherapy clients at the end of October this…

@mshawski I wouldn´t trust her advice either. Any good dietician should at least be able to tell you the formula she would use to calculate your protein needs and explain her rationale. I had the opposite experience with a nutritionist recently and was pleasantly surprised how helpful she was. (If you happen to be from…

✅ Exercise: 60 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass day used (Dec 25 ) I was excited to see that I lost 2 1/2 pounds over the Christmas week while my sons were here. I thought it would be a little more challenging with them here, but I was very conscous about my eating and did a lot of walking. That seems to be the…

✅ Exercise: 40 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass day used (Dec 25 ) My accomplishments include lost 27 pounds, re-established regular exercise routine, learned a lot of new health stuff, lowered my A1c (to low end of prediabetic) and hyperinsulinemia substantially (to normal level from extra high.) Retired from…

✅ Exercise: 55 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass days used (Dec 25) I am going to try the ¨reboot¨ this month suggested in ¨Gut Balance Revolution¨ by trying to do a FODMAP diet for a month in addition to the low carb.
