Type 2 diabetes runs in my family. I eliminated added sugar and fruit completely for 9 months and my blood sugar level got in the normal range. (Also lost weight). I reintroduced added sugar/fruit to my diet and my blood sugar levels have remained normal - even during 2 pregnancies. So I guess it was worth it? I have to…

Hi Karen, I'm here still :smile: 8 months postpartum. I wasn't ready to log food until he was 5 months old so I've only been working on this for 3 months now. I hope all goes well with your delivery and new baby!

I also like the idea of taking a break from the "work" of logging but if I felt like logging on the holiday "for fun" I'd do it. I've taken a day off before just because I didn't feel like it and I still was able to stick with the habit afterwards. I have no deadline for my weight loss goal, I'm doing this for me and will…

I'm not going to, but I'll log in to keep my logging in streak going :blush:

I've just walked around the house before in winter when I was trying to reach a steps goal at the end of the day. With music, it was fairly relaxing!

I don't have helpful advice I just want to add even if you don't find a solution and she struggles with this, you are still a great parent! Sounds like she's a strong-willed, independent thinker so if she ever comes up with the desire to become fit you know she'll accomplish her goal. I like the ideas above of making…

Have you told a doctor about making yourself vomit? You need to do this. I'm hoping for the best for you too. Get your circle of support in place- doctor, counselor, caring people you trust!

I admire your persistence! What an accomplishment. Nice to hear that walking and CICO worked for you, that's what I'm doing currently. Thanks for the post and update- motivational!!

Just to clarify- I didn't mean to say her glutes were too big- her shape just looks like she's wearing shapewear. Nothing wrong with her body OR wearing shapewear, just understanding that it's probably not possible to make your body look like that. I understand it's hard to feel sad about how your body looks. Is this your…

Body recomp (lose fat, gain muscle) is possible- eat at maintenance while lifting (but not during pregnancy.) My understanding is that body recomp is a slow process. You can't choose where on your body fat loss will happen.
-
Hip thrust will work glutes more than squats. Maybe consider looking up Bret Contreras' programs.
-
I want big glutes too :smile: not just for appearance, but for fitness too. In my opinion, the picture looks like she may be wearing shape wear but yes she's gained! (unless it's surgery, padding, I guess we can never know for sure.) How did she do it? Hard work/ good program? Ate at surplus? Shape wear can help keep the…

I did not mean to imply everyone who is overweight or obese needs mental health care- it was asked what other answer could there be (besides education) and one example I could think of was mental health care- just an example from my life. :smile: I feel like I had pretty good information available to me when I started…

A walk and water really help me with stress eating and boredom eating. I like this list! > Also taking a moment to be mindful, process your emotions. Example: During stress recently, I asked myself which emotions I was feeling and made a short note called "things I hope will improve" and listed some things that were…

Better education/ information + mental health care could help prevent these issues. Slow, steady weight loss with maintenance breaks stopping at a healthy weight isn't an eating disorder, will cause less stress than crash diets, will be easier to maintain, will improve most people's health and fitness.
-
I agree that education (with actually good information- evidence-based- "cutting through all the noise" as you said) is important. Other needs may depend on the person- mental health care was a big need for me. Even with good info, I couldn't do this weight loss thing without taking care of my mental health first.
