  • Are you eating or drinking any added sugar? When I cut out added sugar my weight dropped significantly over a short period of time.
  • Breakfast: Berry smoothie with protein powder and almond butter. Lunch: medium chicken breast with avocado oil spread and veggies, asparagus is my favorite. Dinner: Fish & veggies, with low-sugar sauce. Snack: I try to get a 100 calorie snack in every day but it is a challenge. Beverage: Water or sugar-free iced tea (5…
  • 5'2", 135 pounds. I want to get down to 115. I used to be 300, so I think I'm doing pretty well. Is six months out long enough for a goal of losing 20 pounds? I'm good with my diet, my biggest problem is getting all my calories in, but doing better. Exercise I need to work on. I've been working out 1-2 times a week but…
  • I've lost a lot of weight but still have high cholesterol. I am cutting out red meat. I always thought pork wasn't a red meat but apparently it is. I was eating a lot of pork, beef, and lamb. Now I stick to fish and poultry. Thank you for asking this here, the responses are helping me.
  • Thank you for this list! I have a terrible time getting my calories in! I had the Gastric Bypass, and although I feel like I eat and eat I just can't reach my goal. Some people on the discussion forums have suggested eating pizza or "whatever you want" but with my surgery I can't tolerate just any food. Others suggested I…
  • Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover RD, and it only covered 6mo of aftercare at the bariatric office. A support group would be helpful, thanks for the suggestion. Thank you to the posters that suggested adding a couple calorie dense foods I may be able to tolerate. I am sorry, didn't mean to start drama, I know I need…
  • Also, I can't eat foods like pizza or bacon because even a little makes me throw up.
  • I am 5'2. My body fat percentage is 39%, so I'm trying to get that down. Some context: I had the Gastric Bypass is 2015 and cannot eat very much because my stomach is so small. I feel like I eat and eat, but can't reach my calorie goal. Simply saying "eat more" is not realistic for me.
  • I've tried WW and Jenny in the past, with limited results. Now I just eat fresh healthy food and do my cooking at home, not counting "points" all the time. I track my food and exercise on MFP and that helps. I've lost over 160 pounds, with about 25 to go. Eat healthy, exercise. It's not that complicated.
  • I have been there! Daily fast food got me up to 300 pounds. Bring your own lunch with some healthy snacks and keep your credit card at home! I am proof that diet and exercise works. Since I started cooking my own food I have lost over 160 pounds, all while saving my money! The first week is the hardest just like quitting…
