Already 10 miles in. Although I am walking cycling. Bad knees for running

Does anyone use the sports tracker app? You can log your miles and what activity you do. Wslking, running, biking etc. You can share workouts with friends like mfp. I am going to start using today. My user name is millboh if anyone wants to be friends.

I have a very hard time. I was a 30 at my heavyiest and now in a 12 womens. I have alwsys been in plus sizes. My husbsnd took me to Catos one day to find a new dress. The plus size on one side of store and misses on the other side. I walked into store and straight to the plus side the sales woman came up to me and told me my size clothes is on the other side of the store. It made my day that the saleswoman told me to go to the misses sidw of the store. But I still mentally see myself as a big girl. I guess it just tskes time.

I have lost 150 my husband says I looked like an Amazon woman on the nat geo magazine. I do chest exercises I dont see it helping. I went to from a 52 ddd to a 38d. I think I just have to wear really good bras and maybe get a breast lift one day.

I have hypothytoidism I have lost 120 in 12 months. I workout 5-6 days a week and maybe lose 1 lb a week. So it is now slow go has been since january. I take my synthroid daily as well as B12 and some days do not have any energy but the surgery was a blessing and hypothroid or not I would do it all over again.

As far as calories I eat about 1200 a day but I'm 10 months out. Some fays I do eat more just depends on my body. I don't starve myself but try to really eat Protein first.

My Dr suggests at least 60 grams of carbs, but I'm 10 months out and get in about 100 grams a day. I do better with low carb and try to do 30 grams of carbs or less a day. The further out you get the more you can eat and get more Protein in. I feel much better getting in 100 grams vs 60 grams, but that is just me.

I had thinning hair but take biotein Vitamins daily for that. It does get thicker the further out you get. You will not even notice the egd. I have barretts and have to have an egd once a year best nap all year long! You will do great. Good luck!

First few weeks after surgery I was very thirsty...all I wanted was ice Water and I could never seem to get enough. After about 6 weeks the dry mouth got better.

I had surgery in July, and when I did get to exercising I just started on the Treadmill, I felt good after doing it. Made myself go to gym about 3 times a week just doing as much as I could. Then tried going longet and adjusting the incline to get a better workout. I would like to do a zumba class but don't want to look like a fool, so have not done it yet. But just start with walking!

Don't know if this is the right place for this topic....I am 4.5 months post op getting about 60 grams of Protein and 60 ounces of liquid. Working out about 5 times a week and get light headed pretty often dr says I'm dehydrated but drinking as much as I can. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions for certain foods to eat or vitimens to take?

I also am on an emotional roller coaster. I guess losing weight this fast throws hormones out of wack. I just try to deal and keep going. Staying busy helps.

I get that Dr said that I'm deydrated. Drink more.

I personally wear sweats and a t shirt. Sometimes don't change out of work pants and wear dress pants at times.
