Happy Birthday Deelou!!!

[Renee3]

Deelou, hope you had a wonderful Happy Birthday

[Deelou]

Thanks, good day but I have given up on low carb, I have been so good even no dessert on my birthday and was right back where I started..I know what I have been doing crabwise and calorie wise trying to go back and forth between 1200 and 1000 when md said needed to do 900 can't live on that so am just plain trying to eat well and watch cals and forget losing...if it happened it does but I think I have ruined my metabolism and this is just what I have....depressing I must say, but by now I just say, oh well...that's life!

Deelou - I found this link you may find helpful (or not):

I'm reading through the nearly 400 posts myself today.

Thanks, I have read this and taken much of it to heart, the iffy part is many of the doctors listed are natural and some not even MD...none near me and most out of pocket not covered by insurance...I think I just have to do the best I can with what God has given me and try to be as healthy as I can...worst os the fatigue that hits randomly....never can plan much ahead and exercise has to be close to home...

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, and it was one spent with family and friends!!!! If you don't weigh in this week, I can understand. I don't plan on doing it this week. It is getting to be that time of year again where all the various types of foods overflow during the holidays. It is going to be a rough one for me I can tell already.

[Renee3]

Hi everyone Still no change for me......going to be rough going over the next few weeks....lots of tempting food.....maybe I will start strong in 2014!

Hey guys,
The feeling is mutual Corinna. I may hit the scale on Monday or Tuesday. It is a difficult time of year for everyone and food. The older I get the closer each holiday season gets. I think we should skip years or something. No family near me except my DH and I prefer not to travel during this time of year. I don't even do that much celebrating - still a lot of temptations.

I really did not over eat, but have added more calories, up to 1200-1300 so am up again...it is very hard to live on 900-1000 a day....sigh

[Deelou]

Funny when you go above your starting weight it will not change....well that is the truth I am 2# above starting weight......

Hey Renee, 2014 sounds like a good game plan for me too. Have you started to think about how you will approach it this time? I am thinking that I will eat a good breakfast, moderate lunch, and maybe just a light meal or snack during my early supper. What do you think? How about you?

Deelou, 1200-1300 calories sound a bit more realistic. Your body needs some energy to survive and just live. Too little and things will stop working. You don't want that to happen. I am sure you would much rather be alive. We all like you feeling better and happy too.

Lizzie, do you find that you are more tempted to eat when you are alone?

[Crimzon]

Hey Corinna - No, not really. I'm just off plan sometimes. Like this morning I had cottage cheese and blueberries. Sounds healthy but being a low carber I know it's more carbs than I should be eating. I'm really sick of guilt around food.

[Deelou]

Unfortunately I gain on 1200 cal stay the same at 1000 and bobble a bit down at 900 just bad metabolism, thyroid...I am working on trying to be healthy and accept it....guess I really don't belong on here anymore...
