What is ur diet like?? Im 2 months and have lost 26lbs...

I dream of a day I can have a slice of a bread a wk. Some of the restrictions are ridiculous. Im trying to keep a diet that I can maintain for the rest of my life. I could eat fruits 24/7 but now it's a no which sucks. Im mexican and im used to eating my meals with tortillas, bread, tostitos or something but I remind myself that none of those things will help with getting rid of my fat tummy and these arms that i refer to as cannons:-( Good luck to you too! I dont like to say mean things about anyone but NUT didnt do a very good job preparing me. So im going to have lots of questions. I will post after I meet with my NUT. I've learned a lot from ppl posting on here and im thankful for this site!!

I hate running and walking. I prefer to do zumba or taebo (sp?). today I start wk 3 of c25k. It's been hard but I feel great after im done. I think im going to repeat wk 2 because I dont think I can do wk 3 yet. In between I was walking 30 min but im going to do my zumba videos instead. Idk maybe look into beginners bootcamp.

I was hoping to find something that I could eat sometimes. I get so frustrated sometimes. For example the yogurt I eat I thought I was doing good then someone posted it's got too much sugar. Ugh it's just so hard! I count calories, carbs, and fat (40%, 30%, 30%). Calories I average about 500 a day (not good) but carbs add up quickly! Then I also read an article that said carbs are carbs even if they are net carbs. I've never heard of net carbs. I seriously need a long visit with my NUT! Lol

You don't have to get all defensive. Im just asking because I read that article and it was about low carb bread. I didn't even know there was such a thing as low carb bread so I looked it up and came across it.

Im hesitant to buy this bread. I read an article about low carb bread and the comments left. Blood glucose spikes and ppl gain weight. I would post the link but dont how to do it. Im curious as to everyone's opinion in this matter because I've also seen posts here about low carb tortillas...I guess for now I'll stay away from those types of foods:-(

I was on zantac once a day then twice a day. I still was getting heartburn until I started taking prilosec. It has worked great! Im 5'0" and weighed 212lbs at sx 11/20/12. Im 187lbs now. Weights coming off slowly but its coming off:-) I hope u find relief soon because even drinking water was awful.

I also have 7lbs to go!!

Yes!! Luv it! I like it better when I used to go to the activity center than the dvds. I like it when the guy would change it up everyday. My hr would go by fast!

I walk 30 min 2-3 days and couch 2 5k for 3...@ least 1 day of rest. I want to get back to zumba but not sure i can do an hr yet. Its barely my 2nd wk of working out because of a few set backs but should I be working on strengthening with some light weights?

I use egg beaters. I was eating cream of wheat, oatmeal, yogurt, beef Jerky (chew very well), chicken broth, mashed potatoes. ..Are you taking prilosec or zantac? I was started with 1 zantac a day then went to 2. I found that 1 prilosec in the morning works great because I haven't had anymore heartburn since. My dr wanted me on something gor at least 2 months.

I also bought 4 oz containers to bring to work. I measure or weigh my food so I know exactly what im eating. So I eat 2-4 oz a meal. When I go to restaurants its harder but I have done ok so far. I stop at the slightest sign of feeling satisfied. Im 7 wks out.

I use fitness pal and it helps keep me on track. Chicken tamales? Those I would believe are too fattening so those are "no". I wasnt even eating half of what your eating at that stage plus my NUT said 1/4 cup was normal at that stage. Im 7 wks out and struggle with 1/4 cup a meal sometimes. Are you drinking plenty of water? I try to drink as much as I can in between meals. I would call your NUT and start with sticking to their diet.

Nectar strawberry mousse is what I drink and on occasion nectar chocolate truffle. I dont use a blender I use my shaker cup and use 1/2 skim milk and 1/2 water. my hubby puts bananas and ice in his protein shakes. I didn't like the muscle milk at all and before sx I did. Im going to try the fuzzy navel bcuz I bought a packet.

Lol...just never heard of it. I like it!

Im 6 wks out and instead of sweets im craving salads and fruit. Another 2 wks and I can have fruits but nothing on my paperwork about vegetables!! Its another month before I see my nut again. hugs,<br />alma

I've done it by accident and it just hurts. So I drink before and wait almost an hr after I eat because I get too uncomfortable.

I hadnt thought about it but I went to the hospital website where NUT works and I found an updated list. I can have vegetables on Thursday!! I will be 7 wks then so I can have raw vegetables. Woohoo!! Thank God for the little things in life:-) hugs,<br />alma

Thanks ill email her tomorrow! I never would have thought I would crave salads but I do and its driving me crazy!! hugs,<br />alma

Wow..I wish I could eat only 20 grams of carbs a day. Im averaging about 40-55grams. What do you eat?? Im 6wks out and it feels like im eating too many carbs sometimes! hugs,<br />alma
