A New Weight Loss Support/accountability Thread Anyone else wanting to lose weight? Rate Topic: -----

Please let me know if you start a new thread. I really don't get the impression the weight forum is only for those wanting to gain... it seems like our bodies are so out of wack they are just struggling to find normal. Either they are glad to finally get some nutrients, or they are feeling deprived. Hey, but what do I know, I am new to this.

So yesterday I had almost the same meals. THe only difference was that I cut out the chips at lunch, but then we went to a 50 year anniversary, and I had some cheese (2 slices), about a T. salmon, and a couple of pieces of fruit. I ran 12 miles and then biked for an hour and actually gained about 1 pound. As you might expect I was pretty frustrated with my will power and body. I can't seem to get a grip. I am not eating more than 2000 calories per day, and I am working out pretty hard. So I think I will try the candida diet. I looked at what I am eating and all that fruit adds up to a lot of sugar, and I followed it because a doc made me a few years ago. To be honest, right now i am not optimistic.


Here is today (so far)

Breakfast: none

Snack: 7 dates with a t. peanut butter and about 4 tortilla chips (I crave crunchy and salt) this was before I decided to try the candida diet.

Lunch: smoothie- same as yesterday, but I cut out the peanut butter. about 6 sweet potato chips and 7 dates

Then I read about the candida diet and threw out my dates!

I went on a 45-50 mile bike ride then ran 8 miles.

snack: about 3 chips, a 1/2 t. peanut butter and some cashews.


I am planning to have aout 1 ounce of salmon and a salad for dinner.

If you see what I am doing wrong... let me know. I am pretty frustrated. I would like to get my weight under control while I am still within 10 pounds.

Ok, I went to bed with my stomach growling, but I sucked it up and realized no one ever starved to death because they skipped a snack. Usually after a long ride and run like that I would be retaining a lot of water. Instead I got up and was down 2 pounds. Maybe I am always up after hard workouts because i reward myself with carbs. Yesterday I had protein instead... kind of hard on the stomach when heading out the door to run, but I can probably find something better than a handful of cashews anyway.

It doesn't seem like anyone wants to start a new thread, so let's just keep going on this one.

Hightop Girl - do you do triathlons, or do you just like running and biking? I've always been an athlete and used to do small (sprint) triathlons and I would run and bike like that too. It is frustrating to work out so hard and not lose weight.

I have to severly restrict my eating or I don't lose weight. I've been working out regularly in the gym - running on the running track, riding the bike, working on the "arm bike", doing the elliptical machine and lifting weights and have gained almost 10 pounds in the past year. And it's not muscle. So I'm trying to get back on track and not eat all the yummy things that I like to bake.

Okay everyone, it's Monday, the start of a new week. Is anyone else "starting over" for the spring and excited about getting back on track?

hightop girl,

I just found out that decaffeinated coffee is bloating me a keeping me from losing weight. I stopped it for 2 days and lost 2 lbs., and it was over the weekend so I didn't exercicse much. I also just finished Diflucon and Tetrazole for systemic candida infection so that might play into it. I really think it's the coffee though because the first day I drank 1 cup in the morning my stomach hurt for a while and I was super busy that day and didn't get the chance to have any more and at night my stomach didn't hurt!!!

But if I do not exercise for any length of time, I will put on weight. Are you weighing yourself the same time every day? I am usually 2 lbs. heavier at the end of the day no matter what and it goes down in the morning. Do you drink a lot of water? I also will gain weight after I drink a lot of fluids. The best thing is to try and weigh in the same time every day. Well, actually every week, but I weigh in every day as way of monitoring how I'm doing.

lonewolf,

Yes, I am psyched! Bathing suit season is coming up and I have to lose this weight or be embarrassed at the pool! I'm kind of on an elimination diet and mostly whole foods and it's really helping me. If I eat lots of fruits and veggies I do fine with my weight and lose easier. Exercising has been going well too.

Good luck to everyone this week!
Joni

Okay, here I am all motivated, but now I'm hungry and craving Brazilian Cheese Rolls. Must. . . Not. . . Make. . . Bread. . . As much as I love that recipe, I'm sorry I ever found it sometimes. I think I gained 2 pounds last week just from eating those yummy little rolls.

So far today I've only eaten a piece of turkey bacon and had a cup of tea. I'm thinking about lunch now and trying to keep my willpower together. Salad will have to satisfy me!

I did triathlons (just sprint distance) about 10 years ago. Since then I have done the MS 150 bike ride and several marathons. My goofy sister talked me into doing a marathon with her (supposed to be last weekend, but my daughter had ACL surgery, so I just timed a 20 mile run instead) and then a 1/2 ironman in June. So... I guess the answer is yes I do triathlons. I am having trouble with the fueling part... I don't want to gain weight, but you really do have to fuel if you work out that long at one time. I am lactose intolerant, and I am trying to follow a candida diet. That has really helped with the bloating, but what does that leave to eat? I really couldn't figure out what to have for a snack today so I kind of just gave up.

Here is today:

Breakfast: none

Snack (about 9:00 am) one boiled egg

Lunch (about 1:30) my daughter had a senior luncheon- salad and pasta and cookies- I skipped all of that because I was afraid of even the salad after my airport experience. I went back to work and had a small salad with steelhead trout on it, and a few tortilla chips.

Snack- I tried a few nuts and a little peanut butter- but nothing really sounded or tasted good so I gave up

Dinner- Salad with steelhead and salsa and a few tortilla chips crushed and added on top. And 7 rice crackers.

I really am craving something sweet, but I think I will live- just pout a little. :angry:

I biked for about 20 minutes this morning, swam 30 minutes this afternoon, and will probably ride on a stationary bike while I watch the KU game.

I hope my weight stays stable or goes down.

I did well today. Did not give in to the Brazilian Cheese Bread cravings. I just daydreamed about them.

B - 1 piece turkey bacon, unsweetened tea

L - Salad with Romano cheese, flax meal and light Italian dressing, carrot sticks

S - Carrot sticks, about 3 C popcorn (no butter)

D - Salmon, about 1 C rice with garlic sauce, cooked carrots

And I just got back from working out.

Howdy again,

I have no idea what's going on in here ...
Hi New People
Hi, also, the ones I'm familiar with

Here are my

Weight Loss Confessions

I've lost no weight. I'm in need of change ... change of habits and of flabbiness. I love working out. Why don't I do it more? I'm fed up with carrying it around. At a size 12, I look a few lbs overweight, but in a bathing suit - it's not good.

I think I'm finally sick enough of this that I'm ready to commit. It's worked before, and it's going to work again.

This is me, working on a goal:
So, let's see ... It's the second week of April. If I were to really reach for it - the GOAL, that is - I would shoot for about 150 lbs, so, at 165, that's 15 lbs to lose - I'm very large frame at 5'7". If I really, really worked out & stopped snacking, I believe that I could lose that 15 lbs. by my birthday (mid-June). That's about 9 weeks. So, it's a little less than 2 lbs. per week. It's possible (and, it's probable, when you take into consideration my extreme level of fed-upedness).
I really think yoga would be great ... weight training - gotta have it. Hiking, DDR, cardio, all the stuff.

It starts with going to the gym today ... right now ... bye.

Hi Kat! I can so totally relate. I don't look too bad fully clothed - I'm a size 12 too - but the bathing suit is not going to happen without some work.

I'm 5'7 too, and want to get to 150 by June 15th. Maybe we can encourage each other extra good? I have about 21 pounds to go, but I think it's do-able if I really get after it.

Hope your time at the gym went well!

Wow, Liz,
Similar goals. I like it. What a coinkidink. I'll post my confessions or milestones, accordiingly. Let's do the weigh-ins, regardless of the outcome. Once a week for me - whatever day - I'll choose a day of the week.
I'm going to work on a schedule for working out & also, I'm going to try to plan my meals and snacks a few days ahead. I have nothing else to do today, so working on this seems important enough to dedicate some time to. Who knows? It may make cooking & cleaning a bit more sano. With a plan, I can make most stuff ahead of time.

So, I came in to Edit my previous post. I noticed at some point you all were considering starting a new thread - I really like that idea. I like 'support', and I think it naturally comes when the community begins to come together, but I also like 'milestones' - because I feel good when I have something that made a difference. Also 'confessions' - because it gets it off my chest.
What would you guys like this thread to be about? Or am I just being stupid? :P

Now, I'm going to the gym.

Well, I went to the gym ... feels good. Got in 20 minutes on the bike, and 40 minutes on the treadmill. I'll start hitting the elliptical sometime soon. I'm crazy out of shape. I'm so ready to get it on !

I had no problem making gluten-free food while camping.

Breakfasts - sausage, bacon, pancakes, french toast, hot applesauce

Lunches - chips and refried beans, sandwiches on rice tortillas or lettuce leaves (I'll be bringing Brazilian Cheese Bread this year to try), Envirokidz cereal bars, cookies, fruit, chips, trail mix

Dinners - Camper stew (meat, potatoes, onions and carrots), hamburgers, hotdogs (Ener-G buns), baked beans, chips, tacos, dehydrated soup, fajitas - lots to choose from!

Snacks - cookies, fruit, trail mix

That's all I can think of now, but we never go hungry and have been doing it mostly gluten-free for several years now.

Hey everyone,

I wouldn't mind if we start a new thread. I like the idea of confessions and milestones. I'm sure we each have some of each to tell about!

I have been great dieting, but nixed the exercise this week so far. I just found out I'm severely low in ferritin stores and vitamin D. At least I know why I'm so tired all the time now.

I only missed Monday and Tuesday so I'll just start back up tomorrow.

Happy Healthy Eating and Exercising!
Joni

Well here it is for me...

Breakfast - none just black coffee

Rode my bike to work (10 miles)

Snack- 1 boiled egg and a few tortilla chips

Lunch- salad with steelhead and a few chips ( I can't seem to give up the crunch)

ran 4 miles on my break

Snack- 6 rice crackers with peanut butter and one bite of a gluten free protein bar (I have to find something for the 1/2 iron)bar

Rode my bike home 10 miles

late dinner so I had another snack of about 2 T. mixed nuts

Dinner- salad with steelhead and salsa, a few chips.

Snack -- none

A rum and diet coke

I was down another pound today... I think the combo of fruit and 2 glutenings in 10 days really had me retaining a lot of water.
