  1. @ ditto. im pretty much full keto but now that i can eat some carbs i have to realllly watch it.
  2. @@Djmohr OMG seriously! it's a day by day thing. even now 10 months out I'm like HEY! i can eat rice today or whatever. whereas yesterday no way i could lol. you are too right.
  3. Ooh she's right. I don't know y I thought u were six months out not six weeks. She's right I couldn't eat steak for a long time.
  4. @@Seastars i eat fruit but just not at night and i would go full fat on your cheeses and everything tbh. this is what worked for me. have bacon and steaks and all that. just to get it moving again. you'll find what works for you i'm sure you're on the right track! keep it up
  5. @@Seastars increase your fat. this helped me TREMENDOUSLY. make sure all your carbs are from veggies. no rice, potatoes, Pasta etc. i never even counted anything (im not recommending you stop counting) but eat Protein protein protein, veggie carbs and NO SUGAR. increase fat.
  6. @@jenn1 thank you! actually just providing me with the term 'bariathlete" has already opened doors for me. now i can start to research it specifically. thanks!
  7. so after about six to eight weeks or not working out and just kinda sitting at my "goal ish" weight - i think i've decided to lose 10 more lbs then start weight lifting pretty hard. i need to tone big time. any advice from lifters on what they are eating now? (i've been full keto for months so carbs scare me lol) how to weight train? how not to weight train? help!
  8. Nah I'm at goal already. I'm ten months out. Just sometimes I get totally off food like for days on end. U have to force it down. [emoji37]
  9. i guess this is my last post for a while cuz i'm not losing any more weight for now. imma stay at 145 for a while and see how that goes. i weigh myself every day just to make sure i stay on track. still pretty much keto 100%.
  10. Is anyone else going thru this? I've hated food for a few days. Like literally nothing sounds appetizing at all. I hate it all! So for dinner I bought two different sandwiches from Wendy's protein style. I took two bites of each and then ick. I literally don't want anything. Barely ate today [emoji45][emoji45]
  11. so im 10 months post op. kinda at goal (ish) might go a little lower. i work in a place with 2000 people. every single day i have to hear something about my weight. you look great! or OMG you're so skinny (not in a good way). or you're wasting away! etc etc. is it bad that i just don't want to talk about it anymore??? i'm just over it. the journey is long and hard and now i just want to move on and "BE" without having to think or talk about my weight or body anymore. i just want this to be the existing 'me' and not have to be reminded every single second of every minute of every hour. am i gonna have to quit my job so i can go somewhere where people just see this me as the regular me they've met and will know moving forward? when does the journey become something in my past that gets to stay there? i feel like im not even getting to be THIS me cuz the old me is on my back still. end rant
  12. Seriously. I hear you on this. If one more person tells me I look too skinny I'm going to lose my shit SMH. I'm 5 foot 3 and 148 pounds because I recently gained 3 pounds and I'm still getting these bullshit comments. Don't people realize it's rude to say someone looks too skinny just like it is to say someone looks too fat? Especially a person that used to be fat and then tell them that now they look too fucking skinny!! [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]
  13. Is this the end? i'm not sure. i hit a size 6 and that was my goal. so am i done? i doubt it. it's a lifelong thing i think. it's been a long 9 months but so worth it. still 100% (well 90%) keto on my diet. i'm going to try to start toning hardcore now.
  14. jeez. you know thing is i was already feeling pretty good in this before pic. but you know what every stage had it's own triumphs right? so yeah i felt good when i hit 199 and then 180 and then 160 and now 145. At all stages we have made sacrifices and accomplished something so even tho i think OMG what a pig i was in that pic. that's not a fair thing to say. every stage had it's victories!
  15. lol i need you guys on my daily feed. fat brain is real! its not a struggle you can even anticipate. thank you. i've got to stop obsessing! and get therapy
  16. ive had gastritis for years. they said they were going to do something in my surgery that would relieve it but it's still the same. i take omeprozole one a day and it keeps it at bay. it can get really bad if i don't. can you get some?
  17. thank you ladies. this is CRAZY i never thought i would be having this conversation. I think working in a place like i do (there are 2000 people here) so when 20 a day say you're so thin etc and i'm like f you you don't know. until today. today i thought well maybe i am too thin, but i literally have stayed at 145-146 for the last month so if i am today i've been for a month right?? (too thin) ugh. i think you guys are right. its going to take time for my brain to catch up to this.....maybe therapy isn't a bad idea at all. @@AvaFern whoa! 126 sounds tiny (and awesome) for our height. lets see it!
  18. as you know i've been having a running commentary on this "too skinny" thing. at first when people started saying that shit to me, i was like screw you. im not too skinny you're just used to seeing me fat! but that was at 160, 150 etc. but today i took a pic and **I** actually felt like i looked too skinny. and i don't know why cuz i felt amazing all weekend. now i know clothes make a diff and i'm wearing sized 10 pants today cuz clothes are expensive tho i wear a size 7/8. to that end i kept thinking once i get to size 6 im done that's wear i wanna be. and someone said to me umm you need to order that size 6 cuz i think you're there you just don't have the clothes. so i did today. i ordered the size 6 slack and i'll report back on the 14th if they fit or what. size is so weird. weight is so weird. at 145, and 5'3 my bmi is actually still in the "over weight" range!! by point four. smh. it says i'd have to weigh 141 to be "normal" smh. #thestruggleisreal #fatbrain
  19. was out of town yesterday. back! hope everyone had a good fourth.
  20. @@kari91 i feel like it's impossible to go back to my old habits. i cannot eat carbs comfortably and that was always my weakness so keeping it keto is super easy for me. i haven't even worked out in a month and i've lost like 4lbs becuz my diet is still good. now do i need to work out? yes. i need to get my ass moving but diet is 80%! you can do it!
