question about weightloss
Hi guys I havent been on the boards in a while but I have a question I will be three years out in november, recently my 18 year old son was diagnosed with cancer and I have put on about 10 pounds, in the meantime I was still trying to lose 10 so now I have 20 to lose. I have been doing weigh****chers for about 3 months and exercising like crazy and I have not lost 1 pound. Does anyone have any suggestions? I a suppose to be having a tummy tuck and breast reduction the end of september but I am really getting depressed and discouraged about not being able to lose this last 20 pounds, I mean at this point I would be happy to just lose 10.
If you are following WW with their menu ideas that may not be such a good idea.
With the DS you need to try to stick with Low-carb and high protein.
The more you stick with protein for whatever you want to eat through out the day the better of you will be.
I hope you can do it, just hang in there.
I'm really sorry about your son, I hope all goes well with him.
Good Luck

I'm sorry to hear about your son! How is he doing? Do you have him out at U of M?
I agree with others - instead of Weigh****chers, go with high protein, high fat, low carb. I've seen it work for so many people around here. Also, a lot of us have a rebound after reaching an all-time low, that seems to be pretty resistant to getting off. It seems as if it's our natural "setpoint." That may be yours. I bet you look pretty darn good now though!
Keeping you in my prayers, girl.

Thanks guys my son is in pretty good spirits. depending on the stage of the cancer it is highly likely that it is treatable... to God be the glory!!!!! My question is about how low should I make my carb count? Is 70 to high? I am weighing about 160 pounds so that puts me at least 15 pounds over a healthy weight so I hoe this is not my natural setpoint!!!!!!! I think following weigh****chers has me pretty off, my focus has been on a balanced diet and not on protein. I thought I was suppose to switch back over to a "normal" diet.
