Essence46 493 Posted November 22, 2015 I had my year and a half appointment the other day. It went so so to me. Even with all of the working out and running I do, I am still 30 pounds from goal. I should have been there by now, a long time ago actually. *sigh*. Doc said I "look good and healthy" but I need to get to my goal. He said it will come but I just need to work harder at it. *Sigh again*. I am not getting enough Liquid Protein and Water so I am going to work on that. I went about and got two cases of shakes. I also need to work on eating a little better too. I don't eat much. I just need to eat a little better. I am trying not to be discouraged because I really do work hard. I have made up my mind to be at goal by my next appointment which is May 19th. Say a prayer for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 22, 2015 It sounds like you are doing well but disappointed since you aren't where you would like to be. Obviously, you know what to do but have chosen not to do it. Focusing on getting in all your Protein and fluids, and eating healthier should do the trick. You can do it!

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 22, 2015 One of the reasons why I still log my food is to stay on track. I make it a point to hit Fluid and Protein goals every day. The one thing I have started doing is using the Isopure drinks. 40gms of protein in 20 ounce. I divide it into 3 parts and add it to my Water bottles. I make it a point to get in 24 ounces morning, noon and night. I carry my water bottle everywhere and sip anytime I am not eating. That also makes it easier to get the rest of my protein from food. All I have to do is make good food choices and I easily hit my goals. It sounds like you have a plan, just stick to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted November 23, 2015 need to work harder - eat better @@Essence46 nice to see you again my friend i've missed you - really!!! Protein is essential drinking the shakes is good you should/need to eat foods that have Protein (i know you can) (ie chicken, tuna fish) you know the drill Pllllease drink more Water it amazing (to me) the benefits of water start today and keep track of ALL your food (ie MFP) everything you put in your mouth!!! at any time!!! put in computer be honest with yourself put everything down in ie MFP usually when you see/realize how much you eat you might say "OMG i ate all thattttt"?? anything i tell you, and others say you already know you need to follow i know you can do it i always have had confidence in you you can't change yesterday today is a new day fresh start immediately (not tomorrow) you said earlier you are "trying not to be discouraged" do or do not - there is no try!!!! (Yoda) kudos on seeing your doc sometimes when people are having problems haven't been doing so well, even gained they don't want to "face" their doc/or NUT good for you that you are addressing the problem right on "knowing you have a problem, is 1/2 the battle" (something like that) good for you being "brave" and coming back to BP my name is kathy - and i am addicted to BP!! you'll be reminded of what/how certain things can/need to be done get encouragement from others see other success stories, or problems your NSV for the day is coming back to the board!!!
