Feel free to add me :) I'll charge my fitbit tonight if I can find it haha. Duckydoom on both MFP and Fitbit.

What kind of dogs do you have? I have a crazy 1 year old hound puppy that needs to be walked daily (probably a couple times a day, who am I kidding) and a fat 8 year old Rottie mix who loves to go for long, leisurely walks.

I don't have adog wish I did but I live in apartments and they don't allow dog's. I have birds 3 canaries and 3 finches. I go walking on my own. No friends and relatives not near by close enough. My daughter is always gone we were walking together but if I wait for her I would never get out. I go walking at least 5 to 7 days without a break. I am so use to my walks I have a problem not going it's a habit now

Yes I have both and I love my fit bit

Yep! Www.Facebook.com/Duckydoom I think if you go to fitbit and search by username you can find me, but I am totally ok with being fb friends too as long as you don't mind pictures of my dogs! ;)

How is your Water intake? I don't lose at all unless I cut carbs down to 20 to 30 grams and drink about a gallon of Water a day. Make sure you get electrolytes too if you're drinking that much water, I use fizzy tabs that I got from Hammer nutrition that don't taste too bad

Not getting much water in not sure about my carbs. I will have to watch that. What do you eat if you have to watch the carbs. Cuz I like my breads and rice and Pasta and starches. I am pretty much on my own I have a appointment with the nutriontist on the 17th of this month.

Definitely track on myfitnesspal - you can set custom amounts for macronutrients, so if you start to go over the amount of carbs it will let you know.

When I go low carb, I follow the ketogenic protocol which is basically phase 1 of Atkins. 20g or less of carbs, moderate Protein, and high healthy fats. It cuts out all fo the breads, rice, Pasta and starches, unfortunately. HOWEVER - I found a good high Protein low net carb Pasta from IsoPasta. It's pretty good, and has less carbs than the Barilla high protein pastas.

What I usually eat:

Breakfast - 2 eggs, 4 pieces bacon, 1 cup coffee with 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream

lunch - salad with mozzarella, lean turkey or chicken and a low carb dressing, or sliced mozz, avocado, olive oil, salt pepper and vinegar.

dinner - meat and veggies. This can be salmon, steak, ground beef, chicken, whatever, and usually asparagus or broccoli.

My Snacks are 1/2 cup full fat cottage cheese with some walnuts and rosemary infused olive oil mixed in.

All of that is roughly 1300 -1500 calories for me, and I weigh everything out. When I stick to it, I lose all of my excess Water weight SUPER fast. The fats keep me really satiated and I have ridiculous energy. Last time I did it I lost 10 lbs in a week and was bouncing off of the walls. My irritable bowel symptoms all but disappear, I'm not gassy, or crampy, but I do spot.

As a disclaimer, I usually stall right at the 230 mark though, so that's why I'm still pursuing surgery. The sleeve is also going to be a great tool in helping me to avoid all of those starches, pastas, and carbs in favor of healthier foods. It's going to be a great extra boost for me.

I have to do some shopping and I want to know what foods I should buy. I don't like cottage cheese or asparagus. If I want some kind of Pasta what should I buy or if I want tacos or lasagna or rice. I am trying to get the weight off. So any suggestions on what foods I should buy. So I can get this done with the next step.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
