A year out.... so what are you eating ?



Recommended Posts

So I am 11 months and am in a six month stall - not as dramatic as it sounds because I'm not eating what I should ( but not gaining, so yay for me ) . I am really busy at work and don't really have a lot of time, but need to add some variety

Any ideas of simple foods to eat? What are your examples of lunch or dinner ?

Hi outsidematchinside! I have enjoyed reading your comments for some time. Are you still tracking food or do you feel it is pretty easy for you now?

I know you have said you don't have a strong relationship with carbs - I'm not so lucky. I had read someone indicate they have kept their carbs to under 20. - I am thinking to try that - I haven't ever had a target like that - so I'm going to try it

I track every day. I track mainly to make sure I eat enough, not that I eat too little.

Never thought about tracking to make sure I am eating enough. What do you use? MFP?

I use http://www.loseit.com/

I hate MFP with the heat of 1000 suns. They allow so much user added content and people suck at math so bad, almost all the information in there inaccurate.Plus they charge a fortune for premium and their UX designers suck.

LoseIt has items that have green check marks next to them, those are verified. You can also easily add your own information, and make recipes etc.

I use premium and I like all the goal tracking and the badges. I'm still trying to get that 200 pound loss badge.

Their forums have a lot of useful information too.

When I am home I track on the PC, when I am out I track on my phone

It is way to easy to have a busy day, forget to eat and be too low on Protein.

Try it out for a week and see if you like it. If you want premium it is $39.99 but if you hunt around the internet you can usually find it for 29.99

I actually eat a lot of stuff or it seems like it to me. I create my variety in cuts of meats and spices. I didn't eat pork for over 20 years and I started eating it last year for variety. I eat lamb, buffalo, all the fish.

I heard trying a Keto diet. It helps break a stall. God bless.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
