User Details are only visible to members.	Honest info: 6 months ago I was up around 190 again (back and forth 188-186-189). Today I weigh 179.5. Last year at this time, though, I was 169.5. Thought I'd be bluntly honest. And I am 5'2". SLS won't give me that extra inch.

User Details are only visible to members.	Kind, thanks for your original post here; I was venturing in here with some of the same questions. When I lose weight, I lose first in my boobs and feet. Ugh. I have eaten horribly this summer. Except in Hawaii...I wish I could eat that food daily, so fresh, so yummy (hooked on fish and pineapples there). I know why I do it, but I don't know how to stop myself. Other than maybe having cardboard cut outs of some of you whom I respect with hands help up saying "stop." "Don't buy it." Yes, I know. So why do I after a few days? Old habits? Stress and emotional eating? I take on people's problems, have ended some relationships this summer that were negative, said "no" to people for the first time in my life, and felt pretty good about that. THEN, I go for the comfort food. WHY? Why can't I learn substitution of things, rather than fall back on old bad habits such as eating from a bag of something, Sun chips, pretzels, etc. I'll "give up" a snacky awful carb food and replace it with something just a bit "less" bad. I've been sort of addicted to Jolly Ranchers candy this summer. Popping them all the time. I never even liked them before. What's going on? (I've tapered off on those now, have no idea why they attracted me) I know WHAT to do. I know what NOT to do. I've done it. I've had success in the past. Why am I being what I think is rebellious? To whom? Myself? I want to get healthy. Don't I? I want to get off diabetes meds. I want to do it slowly enough so that I keep it off for good. I am 52. It won't get any easier than it is today. Why, for me, is feeling better and looking better not enough to keep me from comforting myself with carbs? Do I WANT to die early? Okay, that's my rant. I've gotten healthier before, I can do it again, but I need that motivation to WANT to do it for ME. I don't have anyone breathing down my neck criticizng my looks or telling me my weight is the cause of all their anger. Or making deals with me when I weighed 135 to lose ten pounds b/c I was too heavy...THAT never worked. I added weight to insulate myself from people. That's no longer an issue...so... Positives work for me. "Hey, are you losing weight?" "That pair of jeans looks good on you." "Come take a walk with me" "You're so pretty." blah blah blah. For some reason, that makes me try harder. Positives motivate. Negatives bring about rebellion. From others, and from myself too. If I feel I look like crap, then I tend to give up. When I feel pretty in my clothes (at whatever size) then I do better with the food all day. So, how to lift up myself to keep doing the things I already KNOW are good for me and work for me? Like KD said, "help." I don't want to keep dreading going to have my A1C checked and I don't want to keep making lousy excuses. Gina

On Fridays, the kids like to have pizza-nite, but I try to plan for it earlier in the day, so I can have a piece. :) And yeah?! What's up with losing the boobs first???!!?! After the 2 kids, I didn't end up with much and now after losing some weight, they're basically disappearing! Dmn! Why can't the fat come off my a* or my thighs first?! So not fair. LOL

User Details are only visible to members.	well, looks like you're handling the challenge very well! :) (I hope your boobs come back too) Going out is hard for me too. I'm better at restaurants now, but full days out socializing has been tough, and yes mostly on the carbs. Went to NY this weekend and I just could NOT resist the NY bagel's that everyone was eating! PA bread sucks, so I'm fine here. lol. Watching them eat the freaking Italian dinners later was excruciating, but I ordered a salad with shrimp and asked for little tastes of some of theirs. ...good thing Italians like to share, lol. I got right back on my program the next day, so that is good. Life will interrupt my program here and there, and I understand that, and it is okay.

User Details are only visible to members.	Yes, MyFitnessPal has a recipe section (input the recipe, divide by servings, put into your recipe box). Paleo: fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, vegetables, some fruit, nuts & seeds, monounsaturated oils (small amounts) and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils. As a Registered Dietitian I can point out the good points (eat more vegetables, dump the processed foods, avoid the added sugars & processed oils). But there are some poor points - why avoid whole grains in moderation, clean dairy, non-animal protein from legumes? It's relatively high protein (acidic) which pulls calcium out of our bones to balance the phosphorus, which is then filtered through our kidneys and out in our pee. So that's why I have just focused on the positives this summer. I continued with my dairy (although I cut the morning choc milk in half, only do my starbucks if I take it to the gym with me on the weekend); brown rice & quinoa & corn as small side dishes; and peanut butter as a snack at work; and tried to step up my fruit/vegetable intake. The only "added sugar" & bread 1 meal per week (usually a Sat night). Drill weekends have been the most difficult - living out of a hotel room. Both Sat nights have ended up bread heavy when we were billeted near the Panera. The body composition component of the challenge is based on %age change (not absolute). So far it looks like 5% weight loss. Not much compared to a 250 lb person who has already lost 30 lb (12%). Going into this I wasn't thinking about "winning", just challenging myself to see what I could do. After this drill weekend will have 3 weeks left. Big push for final results. I think my goal is 135 lb. Afterwards will probably go back to 140 lb where I was in that hottub picture (and hope some of my boobs come back).

Mine went -first! ...totally uncalled for!!! So the challenge at the end won't go by percentage of what each person started with? That's not fair... Well, winning the challenge wouldn't be so much for me, looks to me like you already won!! :) On myfitnesspal, can you build a meal and then divide it into servings? I like fatsecret alot, but can't do that there and that's too stupid since I'm always creating something.

User Details are only visible to members.	Still doing the challenge. Started 144 lbs (63") and the Bodpod said I was 22% fat (I disagree, I know my body and have about 108 lbs "non-fat" mass so it should have been 25%). Started 3rd week of June. Down to 136-137 lb, restest the Bodpod end of Sept (the challenge is suppose to end Sep 29th). Tracking intake on MyFitnessPal. Most days ~1500 kcals. Some times 1200 and a few cheat days as high as 2200 (one day got to 3000 but we went out to a fancy dinner at Mortons before going to see Wicked and while I skipped the bread, I ended up with 1 1/2 desserts and the entree was at least 1200 kcal (Chicken Christopher). As I said before, Paleo is a modified version of Atkins (lower in carbs than typical American diet). When you can't "cheat" (bite of chocolate here, mini-candy there, etc), it's easier to stick to the needed kcals...and yes, lower carb does seem to move the belly fat for most people. Also been hungry at night and if I did eat a snack, it was a cheese stick, or an apple, or a couple dried apricots. No ice cream (haven't had any since starting this). Toughest part is lunch at work. End up with salad bar most days (with chopped egg & deli meat for the protein). I don't like many vegetables. I'm not "clean" but cleaner than before the challenge. Everyone at the gym has noticed a decreased in body fat (especially upper). Hubby not so thrilled (boobs got smaller and he's not a fan of my arm veins ). I may look like Linda Hamilton now (doing those pullup in her cell). The workouts would have happened with or without the challenge. And you can't out-exercise a bad diet. Part of the challenge is body comp change over the 90 days, the other part is fitness (improving our time on a run/air squat workout, and a weight lifting workout). I don't think I can win the weight loss part since I didn't have that much to lose in the first place (%age-wise) compared to some of the bigger folks doing this (1 big guy has lost 30 lbs so far, did the Rhino-Course with me last week). End of the challenge there is a pizza at the M Resort's Marinelli's bar that has my name on it. Doesn't mean I'm going all the way back to how I was eating before....but I don't feel any different being gluten-free. To put this in perspective, Jan 2009 I weighed 165 lb. Lost 20 lbs while in Iraq when I first started doing Crossfit, was walking about 10,000 steps/day, eating 3 meals/d (good breakfast w/ fruit & protein & starch), only having dessert once-a-week, and tons more water/only 1 diet soda/d (stuff tasted different from US version).

User Details are only visible to members.	thank you Mrs svc, that was very helpful! So how has the paleo diet worked for you? How'd the challenge go? I'm making sure I get all my carbs in veggies and other foods too, i feel comfortable and a little optimistic that lowering the grains is okay and might work as far as weight loss. Yea, no boxes or cans. Makes it simpler too... lol. Thanx Sed, feel free to offer suggestions anytime, it's alot to learn. My goal is 40 pounds. Yet I would be ecstatic with 30!!

User Details are only visible to members.	I work with Celiac & food allergy patients all the time. Gluten free grains & starch: Quinoa, Corn, Millet, Buckwheat, Rice (stick with brown and wild), Sweet Potato (limit white, always include the skin), certified gluten-free oats (they are often processed where wheat is also in the air; you can get GF oats at Whole Foods/Trader Joes). Has gluten: Wheat, Rye, Barley, Spelt, Triticale, Malt. And anything made with one of these as an ingredient. Be aware that GF products that are subs for breads/pastas are usually high glycemic index (insulin spikes after eating). A GF cookie is still a cookie (nothing magic about it being GF). I went quazi Paleo this summer for a gym fitness challenge. GF (except for my Saturday cheat meal) meant no bread, no pasta, no cereal (didn't even use GF cereal). I say "quazi" but I still include peanut butter and dairy. Turned into a semi-low carbish (I get plenty from my fruits/vegetables & milk/yogurt, about 110-150 g/d). Pretty much the only thing I eat that comes in a box is the brown rice, oatmeal, and raisins. I use MyFitnessPal for tracking my foods (and exercise). mrs svc (Registered Dietitian, Crossfit Level 1 Trainer)
