WE needed to start a new diet thread.
So I will repost my last entry: I have managed to lose a few pounds water weight probably but it is a start. 179....I hope that I never get in the 180's again! made it one week AF. Lunch: chicken salad Dinner: split an order of bang bang shrimp and had one slice of bread with pesto olive oil, chicken, lilly's from bone fish grill. It was so delicious! with spinach, basil and artichokes and goat cheese and lemon butter sauce. side of spinach and brocoli. I cut up half and boxed it up right away to bring home as it was a lot of food. It will be lunch tomorrow. I decided to quit the more expensive gym and rejoin the planet fitness one and save $55 a month. bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

Just posting to join the thread. I'm still not trying to lose weight because of some health issues. Hopefully I'll have some answers tomorrow.

This has been a 2100 calorie day. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning. I made another loaf of banana bread. It should be ready in about a half an hour from now. Oh yes, my Nutribullet works fine. It makes short work of frozen fruit.

I have been stuck between 156-160 pounds for weeks now. So frustrating! How do I get unstuck? I eat almost 1000 calories a day. Mostly healthy food.

Basically by eating so little, you are forcing your body's metabolism to slow down. So yes, it is causing you to be stuck. Try this calculator tool to determine what you would need to eat to maintain, lose weight, and lose weight very quickly:
https://www.freedieting.com/tools/ca...calculator.htm I plugged in my info and I would need 2289 calories to maintain my weight, 1832 for weight loss and 1374 if I wanted to lose weight very quickly. I would honestly ignore the extreme fat loss number and shoot for the middle one. Also don't forget to exercise if you are able. Gaining lean muscle naturally speeds up your metabolism and it has many positive effects for both body and mind. There are many free videos available online that I would be happy to share with you. |

Yesterday made the 7th day in a row that I was within 15% of 1500 (recommended minimum for men). I had a long string of days where I averaged under 1000; I lost a half pound a day for about two and a half months. That wasn't healthy. It is going to try my patience, because I am now looking at March/April instead of January to reach goal. I have lost 41/58 so far.

I totally blew my diet tonight,
ate potato chips, almonds, candy.... I hope it is not the zyprexa catching up with me. Or maybe the sugarless candy, it was so dissatisfying...I wanted to eat the whole bag!!!!! I think it triggered my cravings to snack. I never snack like that! maybe I should just throw the rest away? bizi jeff will be gone tomorrow, I don't like it when he is away. __________________ __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

I forgot to post my menu for the day. I had a 2000 calorie day. If I was not very full, I would have ate a apple or banana to push the calories up to 2100. This is the minimum calorie intake I want to consume. Also I still weigh 177.
Update: I forgot to include the butter that I used on the slices of banana bread. So this makes the calorie count to a bit over 2100. Last edited by Tucson; Dec 06, 2017 at 01:11 AM.. |

Metabolism only slows slightly unless you do a severe restriction for a very long time. I averaged under 1000 calories a day for over 2 months. My rate of loss was about a half a pound a day all the way through; there was no significant change in my metabolism. That was absolutely not healthy and I am not recommending it, just pointing out that short term stints of severe caloric restriction don't destroy your metabolism. When they put severely obese patients on VLC diets under a doctor's care, they go months without a break and continue to lose at a high rate.
When I was losing at the high rate, I still had some periods where my weight didn't change for a few days and then would plunge. Sooner or later the math caught up with me. __________________ | |Up and down |And in the end it's only round and round |Pink Floyd - Us and Them | |bipolar II, substance use disorder, ADD |lamictal, straterra | |

Another day close to 1500. Still a little snack heavy but with low starch and lean meat, my meals are usually pretty low calorie.
