    Hi ! I am in the same place - i used to weigh 135 (for years!) and now I'm over 150 (yikes!). I went to your profile to find your email - didn't see that, but did notice that you and I have the same birthday August 9th (except I'm 1964.....yikes again) If you want to teamtag and keep each other in check / accountable - I'd be up for a weight loss...

    I will be traveling on business for two weeks in April to Shanghai and Hong Kong. Does anyone know of any restaurants w/ gluten free choices in either of these cities? I've done some google and other searches but didn't come up with anything. I wasn't too hopeful to begin with - but wanted to put it out there in case someone had a suggestion. Thanks

    I had the same problem - gained 20lbs in a matter of a months. It was depressing since I had been at a "normal" weight for my heigt/frame etc - for 10years. My advice would be to make sure you have a nutrionist who really understands Celiac. My first one did not - and that was part of the problem. I would also try to cut out white rice and limit...

    Excellent - summer, support and gluten free. Going Gluten Free wasn't a big deal for me - the 15 -20lb weight gain was and I'm going to do what I can before my annual physical in early Oct. I think one weigh in day would be good - I'm currently around 155 and want to get to 135 - 140max Meg

    Hello all ! Perfect timing - thanks for posting, count me in to this group. I too weighed 135 for years - jumped up to 150+ when I went gluten-free about 15 months ago and need to focus on getting back down. I just scheduled my physical for early Oct - I want to be back to 135 - 140 by then - it's doable with focus, EXERCISE and support from...

    Hi - I'm in the same glutenfree-gained-15lbs-boat! I have given up rice and potatoes - and corn was never a big deal for me. I really want to get back to a body I feel comfortable in -- if you want some company, count me in. Meg

    Is anyone doing Paleo Diet with any weight loss success? I'd like to try it for a few weeks. Meg

    Hi - anyone else out there focused on trying to lose weight this summer?? I'm trying to lose those 15-20lbs I gained a few months back when I started gluten free......it's going, but slowly. If you are in the same situation join this thread and we'll support each other!

    Same with me - I would suggest cutting out rice too - that helped me a lot.

    I know what you mean!!! I feel the same way. I'm just creeping out of the situational depression I have been for three months (after buying all new spring/summer) clothes since nothing fit!! But somehow I keep reminding myself that I am healthy (if not happy) and I have to say that now after six months of gluten free things seem to be normalizing...

    Try Wild Oats and Trader Joes too! And I'm sure there are many health food stores inthe Northhampton area (there aren't many Wild Oats - but there are a few around Boston and they are quite good - much like Whole Foods) Welcome to Boston - don't know where you are moving from but hope you like the cold!

    I am fairly new to all of this - but my doctor did put me on Rx strength folic acid in addition to other vitamins and iron etc. Folic acid is not easily stored in the body - and the main source is whole grains!

    I'll do this challenge with you - THINK SPRING!!! Which sounds good to those of us living in cold weather climate! Maggie (celiacboston@yahoo.com)

    I'm up for the challenge - and the focus with another person or group! Thanks for posting Maggie

    I'll take a look at the book - I am newly diagnosed too and have gained some weight which is driving me crazy. It would be good to have some focused group to keep me on track. Meg

    I flipped thru it at the bookstore - but I didn't particularly like the style/tone of the writer - a bit sarcastic or something. I think you can find enough info on this website. Save your money. My opinion anyway

    Hi - I'm recently diagnosed and gained about 12 lbs from what I normally had been (136ish) for years. I must say I freaked out a bit (well, a lot actually!) - but I think I was just focused on what was "safe" from a gluten-free perspective and not what was healthy overall when I first was getting the hang of this gluten-free diet. I have this gluten-free...

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!!! I wish that the nutrionist had told me about this - but I just don't think the nutrionist knew that much about celiac disease - she was helpful of sorts but not really. I'm going to try to lose the 12lbs I've gained in two months since I went gluten-free with a celiac diagnosis. I am hoping my body can get back...

    Hi - are you doing Weight Watchers gluten-free? I have gained weight since going gluten-free a couple of months ago - and it's driving me crazy!!! Maggie
  20. MegGFBoston
    Help - I have been on a gluten-free diet for about 2 months and it wasn't such a bad transitionfor me -the problemis though that I'm gaining too much weight - how can that be when I'm not eating any bread, pasta etc??? Any suggestions? I've gained about 12 lbs and its driving me crazy. Perhaps I'll start Weight Watchers in the New Year - but wanted to...
