Hi everybody,
So my weight had stayed the same for the last 2 or 3 years.
I did make some life style changes, no alcohol to start. When I cut out alcohol I
was over doing the sugar, big time, and no for the most part I wasn't tracking.
So what followed was I gained about 7 pounds. So then I decided to try a modified
slimfast diet. My plan of my own creation, is two Spirutein protein shakes, two snacks,
and dinner. I've been tracking and it comes out to be 1500, which is hard for me to do.
So here is my question, do you think I need to go to 1200? I should say I cut out sugar, or at least really limit it, and my snacks are something like a yogurt or mozz stick.
Also I really, really want to lose, as I've had knee and back problems as well as high cholesterol and blood pressure. I do exercise at least four times a week, we have a Cybex and a treadmill. I also take several medications to control, anxiety, depression, cholesterol and high blood pressure, phew, and am not sure if they are the culprit.
But I do know, previously I wasn't tracking and insane with sugar.
So after all this, I'm down one pound
Thanks for any input.
