Well everyone I want to say thanks for the encouragement and support. Great news is I'm starting to lose weight. I've lost 7 pounds in just shy of 2 weeks. And every day I've seen the number on the scale go down. But I do have one question. Does anyone else in this forum deal with Interstitial Cystitis? If so please tell me how you handle the eating situation! I am having so much difficulty trying to know what foods trigger flares! But thus far I'm trying my best to keep a journal of foods eaten and reactions. The biggest killer so far is watermelon. Which is very sad because I dearly love it!
Trying to cook without any acidic or "trigger" fruits, veggies, and other foods is very difficult. Also finding things to drink other than water and milk has been a challenge.
I'm going to start a walking program this week if I get the all clear from my podiatrist tomorrow. Can anyone suggest ways I can "rev" up a walking program to help accelerate fat burn? Thanks!
Good luck to everyone!

Welcome Wyatts, I just started here too. I started walking last week and was doing a mile a day every day, I'm going to gradually add to it. I need suggestions too!

Hi. I am new and have also just started to try to lose weight again. Are you using treadmills or walking outdoors? I use a treadmill and I adjust the incline up and down during my workout to get my heart rate going. Good Luck!
