Support and motivation

[rosebud0509 0]

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Have you tried replacing one meal with a Meal Replacement Protein Shake?
