I need help getting back on track

[rsmont77 101]

I was scolded by my doctor for not losing enough, so I am restricting carbs to under 20 per day. Protein 90-100 and fat under 20. My scale has been moving again, which is good. My doctor told me to lose 28 pounds in 30 days to get back on track. I have resorted to eating eggs, lunch meat shrimp and lettuce and cucumber. I will add a protein shot in for a boost of 42g and will add Jerky from time to time. It is quite boring, but I still want to reach my goal of 135-140 pounds and my doc says if I don't lose 60 pounds in 90 days I might be lucky if I get to 170. So I look for the bright future of being healthy and have set some fun goals. When I lose 50 I will walk across the Golden Gate Bridge in sf and when I lose 100 I will chase my 13 year old across it.

28 lbs in 30 days?! Is that even possible? I'm trying to lose 5 in a month and I'm thinking that's even going to be hard... Going back to basics will get you to your goal- keep at it! His scolding must've sucked, but it looks like you're super motivated now so that's a good thing.

That's really good. How far are you out? My loss tends to be 2-3 lb a week eating about 1000 calories and exercising 5 days a week for an hour at a time. I do try and really push myself and burn between 700-1000 calories from running 6 miles or cross train with elliptical.

I am 8 weeks out and down 42 pounds since surgery.

I was 1 year post-op December 8 and I graze a lot!! I have never liked Protein shakes and I eat stuff that got me over 400lbs again. Does anyone have any tips that I can use to curb my appetite and get away from these awful carbs? Thanks' date=' Jessica[/quote']

I personally would go back to low carb and high Protein intake or awhile. Eating tuna, chicken, beef, fish...lots of meat. Eating Protein Bars and weight watchers colby jack or string cheese, sugar free popsicles for Snacks.

I understand getting tired of meats! I go through stages of that too. What works for me is fluctuating my calories, carbs and Protein. I may eat 800+ one day and 500+ the next day. I may eat abt the same in carbs and Protein One day and the next day low carb and high protein. I realize everyone's body is diff and this may not work for you but just an idea. I know how frustrating you must feel. Im very sorry for your frustration but you are losing and that's always a plus! Im not a fast loser like most either but steady losing. It frustrated me at first but then I realized we are all diff and the weight will come off diff. There were times when I want losing lbs but inches were coming off. It will come off!

Thx so much ljp I so needed tht I did see my nut today she said I was doing everything right and not to compare myself with others and I know tht but its hard but I will keep my head up this is the decision I made and I have to give it time but thank u...any other suggestions love to try

I ate a lot of veggies. I got sick of meat. I am lucky because I love my Protein shakes. They are treats like milk shakes for me.

Some days I just did a lot of veggies and 3 or 4 Protein Shakes.

I keep treats that I like but will not overeat. I can't have potato chips and have to limit how often I have popcorn. But I can have pretzels for a salty carb without going nuts and for something sweet/fatty' date=' I do well with Peanut Butter and graham crackers.

Everyone has to find their own path. I know eggface eliminated white carbs and sugar permanently.

For low cal treats I have hot soy milk with a little splenda and seasonal flavoring. Right now, that's a little cinnamom and nutmeg. Tastes like eggnog. I also like the sugar free instant hot cider mix (15 calories). I usually eat some fruit every evening. Whatever is in season. Right now, it's apples, pears, litte cutie tangeries, grapes, or 1/2 bananna.

I get my sweet on in the morning with yogurt. Right now I like it with canned pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, and Splenda.

Things I can't have in the house: good white bread, salted nuts, potato chips, baked sweets, chocolate candy.< /p>

It's very hard not to compare to others. I thk we all do that at times. Its good that your nut thinks you're doing good. That's a huge plus.

[denyse1226 1]

Yes if she and my Dr. Thinks I'm doing good I better run with that...lol if u have anymore suggestions or comments they are always welcomed
