rosebud0509 0 Posted May 27, 2015 Looking for support in my weight loss I am having the sleeve done once I lose the weight I need to which is 16lbs and I am struggling with just that. Recently started working out hardcore 30-90 minutes a day doing indoor cycling. One of the big things I am struggling with is I get discouraged if I don't lose anything also I tend to forget to log my food. Any support is welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted May 27, 2015 Well, you are in the right place. You can start with one big change, which is....wait for it........do not eat anything made in a factory. That will pretty much eliminate starchy carbs from flour and sugar, sneaky added salt, and unhealthy fats. Concentrate on the perimeter of the store, where you find real food that you can grow, pick and catch. Just go easy on the butter and salt. The only exception I make is sugar-free Jello, which is my go-to for midnight cravings. Welcome aboard, and good luck with your surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twinhappy 79 Posted May 27, 2015 I agree with Miss Mac - no processed foods! Only fresh. Also keep in mind that muscle weighs a lot so you may not be loosing because you are gaining muscle with your workouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosebud0509 0 Posted May 28, 2015 The good thing is I am allergic to a lot of food like wheat oats tomatoes potatoes green Beans oranges shell fish and peanuts so I have almost cut all that out of my life. And that's for the tip on Jello Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosebud0509 0 Posted May 28, 2015 The only thing stopping me from having surgery is losing the weight I am hoping between the Water pill they put me on and working out I will see results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
