I'm glad someone understands.. at the same time I'm sad that anyone else has went through it. It's so hard to break a lifelong pattern and negativity. I can relate to covid. I lost my job and the job was great because it was very focused.. so 12hrs/day 4-6 days/week my mind was occupied. Even though my home life was still…

This hit the nail on the head. I WANT things to be better. But I get so frustrated when I overthink everything instead of taking action to start chipping away at the mess I've created. It took 30yrs to get to this point and I think if I decide I'm going to get myself together I stop as soon as I realize it's too big of a…

I did CBT for a year or so back in 2011. Due to bad teen experience and 12yr abusive relationship with my sons father I ended up with conversion disorder (essentially hypochondria) and severe panic/anxiety. It did help. I was told that without medication there was no help for hypochondria. That jerk was wrong. I've come so…

Idk if anyone has said it yet.. but your before/after pic looks like father/son pic. Amazing results. Hope I find the drive that you had to make it happen. Starting CDL training tomorrow and have similar mindset to make other changes!

It's me. I am my own toxic person and have been self sabotaging since a very bad experience during my teenage years.. I'm 44 now. It was the only time in my life I felt good about myself and bad things happened. Then 2 extremely toxic relationships. I didn't think it was possible for me to have someone treat me as bad as I…

Hi. I'm just restarting keto myself. Most oils/butter contain about 100-130 calories if I remember correctly. Being that your just starting out I'd suggest filling the void with healthy oils. Avocado- coconut- olive- etc. It will fill that calorie void and train your body to use the fat for energy. This is just my opinion.…

So circuit training is the same calories weights or aerobic? Says 15min = 200cal. I do weigh 250 but still probably too high. I didnt count time between/cleaning machines. Doing 2sets/15reps highest weight tolerable. 30arms 50legs approximate. So youre saying for fat loss/calorie burn i need to do it faster with less…

Tx Dewd2. Sounds like i need the luck. So to burn fat i should skip the weights? Does it overestimate for bikes and stuff as well? Im sure at my current weight any activity is better than the couch potato life ive lived for 20+ years lol
-
Ty so much! I'm feeling the difference already and seeing how much worse large fatty meals make me feel! Ugh. But eating healthy is a challenge esp on a very low income.

@AnnPT77 It isn't digital. You're right.. That's what I thought. I just need to focus on better choices. I started a job today and its surrounding me with garbage food. So its a true test.
-
Ok I'm going to try 1500 and an increase in activity. I bought a food scale and it was inaccurate by +5ounces more or less every time. I'm going to stick to measurements for now because its simpler and I've already made so many changes I don't want to overwhelm myself. Ty for the help

I'm sorry it didn't post my screenshot. The second post gives more info. Activity level.. Sedentary but I plan on exercising 15min 3x/wk. Just walking for now

It didn't post my pic! Weight 235 Ht 64" Age 39 Neck 16.5 Waist 52 Hips 49 Body fat percentage 59.7%

@snowflake954 I will get some tonight. Do I just measure the largest part? 52" waist!! I think it was even larger a few weeks ago.. But I'm using 52. I don't remember what the exact number was.. But I believe it was almost 55"!! 16.5" neck. I only know this because my son had to measure body parts for homework. I went and…
-
@ShammersPink I think I'm going to buy whole until I get something healthy to mix in. I did do better today managed to eat 3 meals and a snack although it did include some unhealthy choices. I didn't know you have to eat more if you exercise. OH first time in idk how long. I walked only for 15min. But it was .9 miles.. So…

Ok. Ty. Ugh I do cook a lot. This has been an ongoing issue for over 10years. No Chrons colitis or celiac. So I'm baffled. I'm probably not buying the skim milk again after this. Ironically my son didn't even notice it was skim and he drinks whole milk regularly! Cocoa sounds good. I need sleep. Its almost 6am. 4 days of…
-
@snowflake954 that is very true. He doesn't understand why they say it. Some people just don't raise kids to be respectful of peoples differences. My lil guy holds the door for people and helps older people load groceries in a parking lot. So I'm very proud of him Can I give them a smirk? Lol. I don't smile often because I…

@kommodevaran Are you a 22yr old male or a female born in 1970? Either way can I add you? I like your way of thinking. think cranberry juice and crystal light leave a horrible taste in my mouth all day. But I had a hard time with the skim milk! I think you're right about the deficiencies.. But I also have horrible stomach…
-
@kgirlhart they wouldn't do the shots! A script is all they'd give me. I think I suffer from major malabsorption of some sort. I have major bowel issues with "D" for 10+yes. multiple medical problems with my stomach lining and large intestine. I think the drs don't believe my D is as sever as I say because I'm obese!! But…

So many helpful responses.. Ty! I screwed up Saturday and yesterday. I drank soda 3cans and ate take out at my bros. Yesterday I had a small amount of McDonalds and another bottle of pop. I did grab skim milk (yuck) and applesauce as an attempt for breakfast. Also for the first time in years my urine was CLEAR! ..... And I…
-
I think I worded my post wrong. I've only had 1 20oz bottle of soda in 7 days. I'm drinking crystal light tea with lemon. Also 1 glass of cranberry juice/day. However I feel so horribly tired that I'm almost convincing myself to buy some just to feel better. Its that bad. I'm not even craving it. Mentally. But it seems as…
-
TY jshay I need the luck! Good luck to you as well. As "horrible" as it sounds I am having a hard time eating enough calories now that I'm no longer a cherry coke addict! Like a 12pk + a day. So that was all of my calories for the day and anything on top of that that I ate just kept adding up. No I'm lost. I feel like I'm…
-
Wow.. TY for all of the responses! And sooo fast.. well that's great. I'm doing way more than I thought possible and I'm noticing some changes already! I'm so happy for all of you who have lost and are working hard. I have n't seen myself at a healthy weight as an adult. So I'm excited. Thanks again!
