I cut out all soda and also sugar in my coffee. I had to do it in steps and definitely felt the lack of sugar but feel much better now without it. It took a few months to stop soda completely. I had flavored coffee the other day and it was way too sweet, this coming from someone who use to put 3-4 tsp of sugar in her…

oh and also what the poster above said. I started counselling when I started this journey. I was emotional eating to deal with a lot of things in my past and my life and anxiety came back fast. She is helping me through it because I DESPERATELY do not want to go back to old patterns

I had trouble with mobility at first as well. I bought a $20 pedaler, it's just the bike pedals and you can sit on couch chair wherever and use it. When I first started I could only do 4 rotations before I was out of breath,, wheezing. That was August 1st. I can do 10 minutes now and my walking ability has improved so…

xa is the 1st 2 letters of my grandson's name and el is the 1st letters of my granddaughter's name and the 123 because I'm unoriginal lol

I think we are going apple picking this weekend

Black or with so delicious vanilla coconut coffee creamer. I am allergic to dairy so am limited. Usually just black

Fresh! I started eating fresh then went back to frozen and I can't. Just doesn't taste as good as fresh

What he said. You can get pretty creative. There are also many fb pages. Yummly.com you can search by diet choices

amazing job, be very proud of yourself!

Right now I use a pedometer app on my phone but it doesn't seem all that accurate.

pinterest and yummly I have had success on them. I try to keep my sodium about 800 but have been slacking last few days and can feel it . (heart issues) it is the hardest eating out, I finally just started packing meals for all of us so if we are doing errands we can just dig into those instead of grabbing something out.…

I consider clean eating no preservatives. Cereal would not be clean eating while fresh fruit would be so I guess anything with minimal to no preservatives. It seems overwhelming at first but it actually is much easier than I thought and the food from home cooked meals lasts longer. That's just my opinion though , for what…

Thanks everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I think I understand better now and figured it out :)

I'm on potassium supplements from the Doctor. I can't get my potassium to stabilize no matter what I eat, but I'm on prednisone a lot and that can deplete potassium. Been to the ER 3 times this month for hypokylemia (low potassium). VERY FRUSTRATING V8 juice has tons of potassium if you can drink it. I can't but boy I wish…

so much sodium in pizza hut pizza I had to stop eating it way before I decided to start weight loss. We make our own at home and tweak it for low sodium low carb.

why not :)

that would be a very good reason!! I know your pain, I'm not allergic to almonds, but other foods I am and it is very frustrating

I don't know why I was ashamed and didnt really leave the house. I think there was underlying issues, but I am not sure what they are. I'm in counselling because I am determined in this not to fall back into old patterns. i know why I ate so much and just ignored it. Honestly I don't even remember how I got as heavy as I…

I quit in 1998, just broke the rest of my cigarettes in half, threw them in the garbage and never looked back. Chewed tons of gum, yes I gained weight but I probably didn't have to, I was not very disciplined back then but boy am I glad I quit. With asthma and allergies, I am positive I would be in more of a health crisis…

are you on any medication that might cause weight gain or inhibit weight loss?

Requesting. Although I'm looking forward to the first frost lol

my daughter had mono and it damaged her spleen and gallbladder. She now has cold antibody hemylatic anemia and tummy troubles. keep at it with a doctor, might mean a lot of tests but they should eventually get to the bottom of it

Are they good for upping calories for weight loss? I can't seem to find enough foods to eat that up my calorie intake to a safe level while keeping carbs/sodium down. I want to try adding some more protein but don't really eat meat and am allergic to dairy and gluten (wheat anyway)

A recumbent bike is suppose to be easy on the knees. It is deferent than average stationary bike. They are not too pricey.

I'm allergic to dairy so we use so delicious French vanilla coconut creamer. I don't use sugar

Now at 433 not not

And I started from 452 not at 433. I have a lot more to lose but I will do it.

I had very little mobility when I started. I stopped a few medicines I was on with the dr ok, bought golds gym bike pedal machine. Idk what it's called but it's 20$ or table and can just sit in chair or couch and pedal. When I started I got winded after pedaling 4 times. Not 4 minutes 4 ROTATIONS!! It's been a little over…
