Weight Loss Support - February
Comments (60)Lol Bobby! Keep trying darlin! Eileen, 32 miles is impressive. I wish we had some of your weather right now... Good job Pam! 4.5 pounds that was fast! I think I am only down 6 pounds since the beginning of the year. But I am way healthier and my measurements are showing it. I've lost 2 inches off my waist. My pics from the beginning sickened me, but now my tummy is so much flatter! Great job FOAS (thanks Pam!) keep us informed - hope you get the exercise clearance - what a difference it makes in how you feel. Deanna, how did you survive that day? Sometimes, I think you just have to go with it and do your best. And not beat yourself up over stuff. I read recently that you should eat "clean" 80% of the time at first and the other 20% let yourself eat waht you are craving - so you don't feel deprived. There are so many darn theories out there, it confuses me. "Eat more! If you don't your metabolism slows down in starvation mode..." "The only way to lose weight is with a calorie deficit - you're eating too many calories and not working out enough!" "You're working out TOO hard - you need to lighten up a bit and let your body repair!" "All you need to do is WALK - just move." "You have to have variety in your activities - otherwise your body adapts and plateaus..." "Get all the junk food out of your house - no more junk!" "Allow yourself cheats or you will binge" sheesh. No wonder nobody can lose weight. Who was it that posted the food journal on the Daily Plate? I started using it and am curious to see if I had been eating too many calories ...or if my proportions were off (protein-carbs-fats). It is a cool site and I am enjoying entering things in and keeping track. At least it makes me more aware. I can't eat a handful of almonds 6 times a day - even if they are good for me - lol.

Comments (4)Thanks to both of you who responded. My WW leader told me to increase the number of points (calories). This didn't make sense to me so I didn't. Then the owner of the Curves gym I go to told me that in the Curves weight loss plan, they work on this problem by building in to the plan a period of increased caloric intake, i.e. going from 1200 calories per day to 2000 calories per day for a period of two to four weeks. Their theory is that the body interprets the 1200 calorie per day diet as "starvation", and becomes much more efficient at using those calories. Increasing calories temporarily "resets" the metabolism, so when the 1200 calorie per day diet is resumed the weight starts coming off again. Thing is, my clothing size is getting smaller, my fat index is decreasing, and when they do the monthly measurements at Curves I'm losing inches. So something is happening, even though very little weight loss is involved. I've decided to make the sacrifice and increase my calories temporarily....See MoreClueless regarding 50 lb. Weight Loss
Comments (6)Could be that he doesn't know the reason why himself! I lost 50 pounds in a matter of a few months too about 2 years ago. My family doctor said I was okay at 109 lbs at 5 feet 2 inches. He didn't seem concerned with how fast I was losing the weight. My specialist, however, said that it wasn't right - even for a person on a diet! I was 106 lbs when I saw him. He put me on an antidepressant. I said "Why? I'm not depressed." He said that antidepressants can make a person gain weight. It was a very small dose and it worked. I was only on them for a month though cuz I didn't like how it made me feel. I went down to 104 lbs, my menstruations were about every 2 months, and I was starting to get scared that my body was starting to shut down. I would step on the scale everyy week and see that I was 5 lbs less! It was the first time in my life that I was having a hard time GAINING weight. Usually I would just LOOK at food and gain! LOL I was anemic at the time, but nobody knows why it happened. Now I'm 134 lbs and loving it! My specialist told me to eat every 3 hours. A little bit at a time. You see, the problem I was having was that when I was hungry, I had to eat RIGHT AWAY or I'd be sick. I would vomit and then feel better and be able to eat a little bit. I would eat 2/3 cup of rice and be FULL! I always had something on hand (baked goods, etc.) to eat whenever I got hungry. I "stretched" my stomach back to what it was eventually so that now I eat "normally". Not sure what happened but I'm glad it's over!...See MoreHas anyone tried isagenix for weight loss.
Comments (10)I have a friend who has tried every single weight loss scheme out there. Literally everything but bariatric surgery. She's done Medifast, Isagenix, dozens of different MLM weight loss schemes, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers, Zumba classes-she'll drop about 20 lbs then gain it plus. I think she had her best weight loss with Medifast, but she quit that after a few months and gained it back. She's also Type II diabetic but won't do what she needs to do to lose the weight. She takes medication instead. I got notice from my health care team that my A1C was in the pre-diabetic range-that is super scary! So I started to change my diet-and so far I've lost almost 30 lbs. I just don't eat sweets, added sugar, extra carbs-and it's coming off. My last blood draw I was out of the pre-diabetes range! I'm going to keep at it-I need to lose more but I'm doing it the old fashioned way-healthy eating and exercise. My BFF ran into an old friend who'd lost 50lbs-she was on some crazy scheme diet where she could only eat a super restrictive diet. It was utterly unsustainable. Sure, she lost 50lbs, but had to be miserable! I'm working on my BFF to eat sanely (she's another Type II diabetic) but she keeps carbs & candy in her home...she's not a fan of veggies & fruit. I've got her at least bringing healthier snacks with her to work and eating a lunch during the day instead of starving herself then gorging when she got home. I wish there was an easy way to drop pounds-a pill or a drink-but nope. It's all about intake and output-fewer calories in-more calories out (burned) and you will lose weight....See Moremetabolism
