I'd love to lose about 10 lbs myself. What's your plan? Are you going to count calories, exercise or a combo?

I NEED to loose at least 20-30 lbs. myself. For me it's a motivation issue and right now specifically, a fatigue factor(I need to supplement with iron again). I love to get out and walk and ride my bike. For me eating South Beach, without the gluten of course, works really well. I find the less grains/carbs I consume the better I do at loosing weight. I think if I had a friend to do things with and for support I would do better. My boys and husband have really high metabolisms and can eat anything they want and be thin. My boys are really active and get their fair share of exercise. The hubby won't exercise to save his life. At least, even though I'm overweight, I know I'm in better physical shape than my husband. :P I'm one that gluten free didn't affect my weight in a positive manner. I actually think I gained some weight.

I would like to focus on eating healthy. More veggies and fruit, less processed. I have a personal trainer who I only seem to make it to once a week. Everything we do she encourages me to do at home since it's all basics and body weight. Being accountable to someone who is jn the same boat I'm in helps.

Being on the dr phil show helped with what i was supposed to eat. They limit carb servings. When I get home I'll post phase 1. I lost almost 40 pounds right before I got pregnant. I'm 5 pounds from pre pregnancy weight, but this weight is now in different places. Frustrating.

Do we want to post daily, exchange phone numbers, emails? What's best for everyone?

A thought would be a continual post in this section titled something like "Weight Loss, Eating Healthy, Working Out" like there's the continual post of "what are you eating Tonight" under recipes/cooking. The initial post could include the guidelines- tips for healthier eating, daily work-outs, weekly weigh-in/progress to be on a certain day of each week like Mondays, etc. That way more people could join in as time goes along and you'd have a better feel for the interest on the board.

Don't know how much i would be able to do, but i would love to join in/ follow along!!

This month 5 years ago(man, I can't believe it's been that long!), I weighed about 289 lbs... for me, that is 107 lbs over weight (I'm tall, my goal weight is 182). I started the South Beach Diet. Yes, i started my weight loss journey right before the holidays, and I remember someone asking me why I wanted to start then? My answer was why not? why wait?? My for weight loss was slow, but I did alright. I got down as low as 209 or so.

And then two years ago i started figuring out I had food intolerances- my figuring out my gluten issues was thanks to looking back over the times I'd done SB p1 (which is no carbs).

for a while I also couldn't eat acidic foods, thankfully now that seems to be getting better.... but I'm so used to it, I'm a little scared to eat them often.

Then a year ago I firgure out my fructose issues... things like apples, carrots, honey, brown rice, and other things give me problems. And I am sure there are others, esp. fruits & veggies :( that I haven't been willing to try. Due to not being able to eat many vegetables & fruits, I could no longer follow the South Beach plan :(.... I have tried my best to follow some of it's principles, but i feel like I've slowly gotten away from them. And I have gained back probably at least 40 lbs :( (haven't weight myself recently.)

My fructose issues do seem to be getting better (thank heavens I figured out my gluten issues, and my gut is healing!!), and eventaully I hope to be able to get back on the SB plan, but for now, I will keep doing what I can, and look forward to daily encouragement/ reminders (by reading you all's posts)!

five years ago, i was willing and able to start a diet right before the holidays. Now....uh.... ugh...I know I NEED to do this.... for my health.... but I don't have the motiviation I would like to have.

and it doesn't help that so many gluten-free recipes--- especailly holiday recipes.... have sugar in them :(

Anywho, I look forward to hangin' with you all, if that's all right! :)

I'm in. I'm working on 10# myself. I have an app on my phone and I've been inputting my food and exercise for the day. It's keeping track of all my nutrients as well. I'm vegan too...

I go to bikram yoga 2-3x a week and I power walk 3-4x a week for 45-60 on the treadmill set on an incline.

Less processed is, indeed, the best way to lose weight. If you start shopping the golden horseshoe (the parameter of the store) you'll most likely succeed. Extra visits to produce, seafood, lean meats, low fat dairy, and you're on your way to shedding pounds.

Make sure you read the ingredient statements on EVERYTHING that you buy. If you can't pronounce an ingredient or have no idea what it is, put it back on the shelf.

I'm rooting for all of you and will be here for additional information.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition.  My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole.  That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not stop.  I went back to the doctors after a few weeks, and that finally led to my coeliac diagnosis, after months of unexplained neurological symptoms, low ferritin and anxiety,which did not seem to have a cause but of course we later realised was all down to coeliac disease. I occasionally take a very small aspirin for a sick migraine which sometimes only responds to aspirin, but it usually leaves me with sore stomach a few days later. I've been told co-codamol is another medication I could take with a sensitive stomach. I was once prescribed it, to use for just a few days. It is not an NSAID, but it contains codeine, which I understand can be addictive so should be used with care.  It can also cause constipation.
