I don't think any precors fold.. So I guess I need to look at another brand or not putting it in the living room.

If we could return this thread to its original intention please, for a minute -

Today is exactly one month since returning to vigorous exercise and food monitoring, 2 weeks since turning to weight-training focus, and 10 days since going IIFYM/TDEE on diet. And, as far as the scale or clothes fit goes - nothing. I have not lost any weight, my clothes do not fit any better. I'm not quite up to the 1500 recommended, more like close to 1100, but I'll get there.

When I was obese, 2 years before I had surgery, I followed a faithful diet of 1400 calories a day, and an hour of vigorous (for my abilities at the time) exercise and in 6 months I lost only 20 pounds. One would think that a body trapped in 260 pounds would eagerly shed the excess weight, but mine didn't. Just thought I'd throw that info out there, since this eating at a higher calorie level is, once again, not doing anything for me...

Laura- what is confusing? Increasing calories to TDEE? The extreme caloric deficits we are on after surgery has a place and it helps almost everyone drop weight. However, it puts your body into extreme catabolic state also even if you are trying to eat the required Protein. The body will lose its ability to effectively burn calories if deprived of calories for too long.

EXACTLY, my nutritionist said that even at 800 calories a day, and getting the proper protein, by having the surgery, you have still put your body into a starvation state. It's physically impossible for us to eat much more than that, if eating extremely low carb, and so the body has no choice but to use it's reserves. Which is why the nutrition is so critical. I still can't eat much over 2 ounces at a time, so I make sure to drink at least 30 grams of protein a day, and just trying to get the nutritional requirements uses all the alloted calories.

BTW, I am really enjoying your posts. I am learning a tremendous amount from you.

Hey GT. I'm sorry that ur in such a place. That must be frustrating as hell. Did u lose the 3-4 pounds that u gained, or are u still up? Secondly, I'm curious about the food that ur eating. I bounced from 128-131 off and on for about 4.5 months. Until recently I was eating crap food but still staying under 1200 or so cals- sometimes it'd be more. On Sunday I started the 12 week challenge and I chose to eliminate most processed food (including Protein bars). Even with this I'm still hitting 98 grams of protein and my carbs are a little under 200. Here's the kicker- I've been losing like crazy. I've dropped three pounds since then. It's crazy. I've been eating lots of fruits, veggies, and lean meat. So my point is I'm still eating the same cals, but the food is really different. I hope things work out for u.

Have you had any metabolic or endocrine studies done? I found out 40 years ago, I have no thyroid, so without the supplement that I have been taking for my whole life, I wouldn't have lost the weight well either. It wasn't what got me or kept me fat, or kept me from losing. I have had it monitored every 6 months for 40 years. Even with that, I could pack the food in. But, when I was trying to lose my 6 months requirement of 26 lbs, it was agonizingly slow, even with exercise. It took this surgery, and once again another medication adjustment to make sure my metabolic rate stays normal.
