once my rib feels better I can exercise again and hopefully get the hot summer bod I been imagining!

I might have eaten the baklava, too.

I was hungry upon awakening this morning, which is unusual for me.
Delicious chocolate chip cookies sitting on the counter. I'd wanted one.
Abstained and drank a "Glucerna" shake instead. I am not diabetic, but I love the "slow carbs" in Glucerna Hungersmart shakes.

I might have eaten the baklava sounds like a book lol
I needed to laugh. I worked last night and now I am positive the shift is messing with my moods. I want to cry and i.dont.cry...
anyway wrong thread but thx!

[jacky8807]

ok. I have decided to write either a diet or a childrens book called "I may have eaten the baklava"

in other news stuck to my diet. but I don't think I'm getting enough protein. like iron building protein. so need to work on that. hopefully I will start exercising before winter

Lost 3 of the 5kg I put on in hospital while taking Olanzapine and Seroquel. Been walking for 50 mins at least 3 days a week, fast so I burn more calories. I can't walk more or my Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia flare up and make me crash badly. Still I am hoping the exercise and better diet will help me lose the other 2kg. Today i managed a walk even though i was exhausted and agitated. Just coming out of a bad mixed episode so my brain and body are shattered.

Hanging in with my new eating lifestyle.
I am very determined and I hope determination and wise choices are enough.
Did not give up during a plateau and am back to losing.
Don't give up!

Y'all have inspired me to start losing this weight I gained from depression. I've signed up for yoga at the local JCC. And tracking my food and water on an app called My Fitnesspal. My goal is to lose 30 pounds.

[Wild Coyote]

Welcome Bugtussel!

We'd love to have you join in.
I've gained a lot on meds, psych meds and steroids needed for autoimmune illness.

I am sure you can lose weight.
I've tried all kinds of diets. The approach I am using now is the best so far and it's simple: Low carb and counting calories. That simple.

I do sometimes have to allow myself to feel hungry for an hour or two.
It's fine with me because I really want to lose more weight!

Welcome Aboard!

Weighed at the doctor's today - down a pound and a half. Might just be differences in the scales, but I'll take it.

I have been doing well on my Weston A. Price/GAPs diet. My mood has been elevated, but I would not call it mania. Perfect time to start it with all the farmers markets opening and local farms selling meats, cheeses, dairy, honey <3

[Faltering]

It's my birthday soo I guess today is my cheat day lol. I'm going to a restaurant for dinner. I usually pick the lowest calorie meal.

[Wild Coyote]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FALTERING!!!

any of my fellow BP dieters meal prep? I bought these containers from Amazon that can go from freezer to microwave. I'm planning tomorrow to make up a bunch of chicken and veggies and freeze portions.

[Bugtussel]

Sounds like a really good idea. Will you be using a variety of seasonings in each? Let us know how this works for you. Thanks!

[jacky8807]

i think im going to so I don't get bored. lots of youtube videos about meal prepping so I am going to look into those for ideas. I think it will keep me from reaching for the quick fix when I am hungry but tired.
I will let you know! my cousin loss a ton of weight doing it

This is exactly what I want to do. I've always had the most success dieting when I ate frozen prepared meals like weight watchers and healthy choice but they can get so expensive. I could probably make my own for way less and enough to feed the whole family. This is such a great idea and I'm feeling motivated. I looked for some containers like you mentioned. I'd like to find some that can go from freezer to microwave with portions for main dish and 2 sides like in the frozen meals I used to buy.

I have been thinking about those 33 pounds I put on in 18 months.
Just can't think about them, I must do something different if I want to see a difference. Today I rowed 20 minutes on the row machine and noticed a little sweat on my forehead, heart rate got up to 130.
So it is a start.

I've gained 6 pounds so far since starting Zyprexa. It's only been a few weeks. I haven't changed my diet and I exercise daily. :|

I reached my target weight today!! I've been trying to lose 4-5 lbs ever since I started Depakote several months ago. Usually when I've been working on getting my weight down, it takes weeks to lose even one lb. And, achieving the target weight ONCE, indicates that it will continue to progress downward if i continue to eat sensibly. It does not mean that the target weight this time is permanent. But I know this is great!

great job flower bells!

Lost another kilogram (2.3 pounds I think). Been walking a lot and eating less, and off weight gaining meds. My goal is to lose about 3 more kilograms and tone up. Might join a gym if it is affordable. Too cold to swim in the ocean now so fast walking is all I can do, along with stretches and sit-ups at home. Just two more weeks of university and I will have more time to myself which will help me exercise more.

I've fallen off the wagon the past 2 months. Stressed & my go to is eating especially at nite.
So in my head I've been eating a lot & I felt like I'd gained a LOT of weight. Not looking in the mirror or weighing myself.
Yday I felt a bit better & decided to hop on the deadly scale. I'd only gained 3.5 lbs.
I was surprised to say the least.

I know summer is much easier for me AFA eating. More healthy choices & bec I'll be working I'll be more active & will use the gym more as a time escape. I'm hoping to lose 10 more by August. If I could just stay emotionally stable!

[Wild Coyote]

Still counting calories.
I have now hit the 40 lb mark for weight loss this year.
I am continuing on and hope this continues to work.

Some walking (2 miles) with 2-3 days rest in between. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (aka Systemic Exertional Intolerance Disorder) and much recovery time is needed in between exercise times.

Love to All!
