Hi
Hi. I've used MyFitnessPal in the past and it has been very helpful. I am on a medically supervised weightloss plan through Mayo Clinic called Optifast. I hope I get great benefit from the process. I love the databases on this site and it feels good to be back. Have a great day! Kathy Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free…

Ideas when starting out
I'm not starting out..I guess I'm continuing and carrying on from where I left off over a year ago. Something I have found interesting. If you want pizza, make your own. You can measure everything. You know what's in it. You can add healthier toppings and it's much cheaper...even tastes better. I made my first tropical…

CARBONATED DRINKS
If you are trying to loose weight.....these drinks expand your stomach. My dietician at the Bariatric Clinic I attend told me this. When she said this, I stopped all colas or any kind of carbonated drink. If you think about it, it makes a lot sense. The fizz causes the gases to expand in your belly....hence that belch when…

Returned with weight and then some
I lost 40 lbs last year and gained it all back and then some. I had two doctors suggest Bariatric surgery because of what my obesity is doing to me, medically. So I am on a pre-surgerical diet plan...or training to eat right. I have already been through this without surgery and with the same Bariatric team. They said that…

Feeling defeated
I really don't think I can do this healthy eating anymore. I have tried and tried. I'm even working with a bariatric team. I'm so frustrated I just want to cry. I don't understand how eating such a small amount of food can make people feel satisfied. I try to only eat 350 cals per meal and then I get hungry an hour later.…

Hi gotta question
Hi. I'm not new, but I haven't been around in a bit. I have a question. I tried to add something into my food diary but couldn't because the food that was in the database was a little different than what I ate. The label on the container is driving me nuts! Lol.:grumble: Instant Vanilla Royal Pudding & Pie Filling Net WT:…

When you get off track....
FYI people...when you get off track, it's twice as hard to get back. :huh:

Will I ever change?
Hey...it's been awhile since I've posted. I got away from my lifestyle change and managed to only maintain. I didn't gain any weight which is good. I just had surgery to have my gallbladder out so food has been an issue for me before and after the surgery. Will I ever be able to eat 100% healthy. I look at my daily intake…

Pizza
Ok....so I was naughty....to say the least...still managed to stay within my caloric intake for the day tho. :drinker: Anyhoo..... I was looking at the caloric intake of Domino's pepperoni pizza and the MFP calories is for a 14 inch slice. What does that mean? Length? I think if it was width...that would be a fairly large…

WHAT????
:smokin: LOL. How many calories do you think a small Sushi Philadelphia roll is?? Ya know the little....rolls...immatation crab meat, cream cheese, wrapped in rice....I read somewhere that one little roll is 380 cals!? WHAT??? They aren't even an inch in diameter! Lol...I just got turned onto them...and snacked on about 5…

Small seedless watermelon
Hey, just curious....I just bought one of those small seendless watermelons...chopped it up and have it in my frig' chillin'. Are these like generic watermelons or something? A genetic alteration or something....the watermelons I'm used to are huge, lighter green in color (on the outside) and with seeds....These new ones…

Protein
I'm not sure if I brought this up, but my dietician told me to include protein in every meal. And it doesn't have to include meat. It sustains your fullness feeling longer. :smokin:
-
Increased metabolism
Is it possible that I have kick started my metabolism by changing my eating and exercising habits? Because the weight is flying off now...it's very odd, but I'm not complaining. :laugh: My mom said when she changed her eating habits....the same thing happened to her. They weight flew off. It was slow at first, but…
-
Add 1 source of protein to each meal
A serving size is about 3 oz. Add 1 serving of protein to each meal and it will prolong your hunger. I saw my dietician (sp) 2 days ago and she told me this. It's working. I typically like to have eggs from breakfast, so I questioned her about the cholesterol content in eggs. She agreed that EGGBEATERS are an alternative…

26 pounds!
I went to my doctor today and was shocked when I got on the scale! I've lost 26 pounds since Feb! Woot! :drinker: :smokin: :bigsmile: :happy:

Set back -neuroma and abcess...ouch!
I go see my dietician tomorrow for a check up and weigh in. I'm worried because, altho, I've lost weight, I'm not eating the greatest. I really don't have any excuses.....other than my job has been busier lately....and so the more I try to excuse why I haven't been eating so healthy....sounds worse and worse. Anyway.... I…

Down baby down
Hey ya'll!! Down another pound. It's been slow, but it's been healthy! I've lost 21 pounds. Everyone asks me what I'm doing, aside from Mayo Clinic's Bariatric Team guiding me (no surgery, pure effort), I tell everyone about this site! It has made this possible! Now....this is actually kind of funny....Sometimes, like on…

Whoa!
I went to get into my usually snug jeans and was like...whoa! They didn't fit anymore. I mean, they are like 2 sizes too big. That blew me away! I've also lost 20 pounds. I'm totally in shock! :noway: I can't believe how easy this is. I have a couple of friends who are trying to loose weight too and they always ask me. I…

Edy's Fruit Bars
:love: I've just discovered a wonderful thing. Edy's Fruit Bars. They have very little of anything in it. 60 cal per single bar and no fat. Small amount of sugar...and 25% Vit. C. They are amazing. I don't recommend the lime....but the berry ones are simply amazing! Great for that sweet tooth! :drinker:
-
Down 20 pounds!
I was in shock when I got on the scale yesterday. Yet again, another pound. I've lost 20 pounds in the past 7-8 weeks. It feels great. I put my jeans on and was in shock that they were huge on me. And these jeans are normally tight. That's a really good feeling! My undercloths (pants and sports bras) are amazingly too big.…

ANOTHER 2 POUNDS!
:laugh: I can't believe it. I had just posted that I was loosing motivation for exercising. I weighed myself tonight at work and I'm down another 2 pounds....I'm averaging 2 pounds a week. I've lost 16 pounds!!! :drinker: I'm so excited! I haven't weighed this in years!!!! I can't believe it....what has me the most excited…

Loosing motivation
Okay....I'm doing well with the healthy eating, but now I'm starting to loose motivation with exercising. I keep telling myself that I'm gonna go out and walk or do something outside and before long, it's night time and too late. I was doing better with this. Another new problem is that I have been getting really hungry…

Benefiber
I have been doing so well on my new healthy eating patterns. I can see myself making these changes permanent now. I've been eating healthier now for about just over a month. I have lost weight the healthy way and am down 14 pounds. The 1st 9-10 pounds flew off! I think they said that was normal. I was so enthusiastic and…

Help
I'm slipping... the past two days I have been very naughty on my calorie intake. I will have to say that I was told that I'm maintaining my weight by eating 2000 to 2500 cal's, yet not at my target 1450 cals a day. I slipped up. I need to read these encouragement entries....because I feel myself slipping into my old…

12 pounds! Woot!
I will have to say that the 1st week of healthy eating, the weight flew off. I speculate that most of it was water. I'm maintaining my health 1450 cal intake daily and as expected I am loosing about 2 pounds a week. :drinker: I've lost a total of 12.2 pounds since I've started. Yippee! Someone said at work that I'm…

When you loose weight
Are you guys buying clothes? Do you have some of your skinny clothes left in your closet? I walked around Lane Bryant a couple of weeks ago, knowing I was going to be on a different kind of eating style the rest of my life and would be loosing weight...I could only bring myself to by a t-shirt that was on sale. I told the…
