Topic: RE: Anyone every try Crack the fat loss code by wendy chant?
HI! So I am on my 7th day of the first cycle of this plan and I had a question... I wake up at night and before the plan I would snack on sweets which was a large contribution to weight gain but I still have been waking up at night on the plan but I have just been having a few slices of turkey i put in the fridge...since turkey is allowed on the plan is that ok or do I have to start the first cycle over again with no eating at night at all?
Thanks!

Topic: RE: How to loose weight while trying to have a baby
I wish I could help, but I think that is a question for your doctors. I do know that both my age and my weight have contributed to my inability to conceive. And I wonder if I will be able to conceive when my weight stabilizes at a healthy number. I guess we’ll see.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Topic: How to loose weight while trying to have a baby
My youngest son is 19 months. Me and my husband are trying to have another baby. I have gained weight back with my last child and have not been able to take it off. I think I almost feel like whats the point since I will just gain it back with the next baby. The thing is I want a healthy pregnancy when I do get pregnant. We have been trying for two months now and are hoping it will happen soon. My question is how do I loose weight while im trying and when I am pregnant. I want a healthy pregnancy and dont want to get even bigger with this pregnancy.
Topic: RE: Calling out to those in the 300 range...
When I started my weight loss I weighed 322 and I was probably taking in about 1800 calories per day and exercising at least 5 to 6 days a week, I think 800 calories i too low, even if you are not exercising, your body will jut go into starvation mode and not release any fat because it is afraid you wont feed it! I now am somewhere in the 220's lowet weight was 216 and i consume about 1400 to 1600 cal per day give or take and I walk 3 to 5 times per week. I have heard that women should not consume less than 1,000 cal per day and men should not consume less than 1,200 to keep away from starvation mode. Good luck on your weight loss journey! also make sure that the calories you do consume are high quality calories, full of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, this way your body can rebuild and retore while releasing fat, out with the bad, in with the good 
Topic: RE: Dieting vs. bypass, confused!
I guess no matter what we do SOMEONE is gonna fine SOME fault, right? But you're right, it's none of their business. I actually upped my calories back up to 1000 yesterday and actually lost another pound and a half or so, so I'm gonna try to keep it around 1000 instead of 800 and see how that works. Thanks so much for everyone's input!! :-)

Good point about RNY. I guess I was thinking about VSG since that is what I was going to have.

2 things. WLS rearanges the bodys way of digesting. think about the RNY 90% of the intestine is gone! so it is different.
1- WLS patients also go through stalls, but they also have manditory therapy in most cases, so they have a foot up. As th pp posted also their body wont let them stop the low cal... and sadly people also have strong opinions on WLS! they also hear they are bad dieters.

I started at around 254 at the beginning of this year. I slowly lost the first 14 pounds on Weigh****chers, but it was too slow for me. I found that I didn’t really start to lose until I started to cut/ the starchy carbs. I have found that I don’t lose that much weight, even at 1,000 calories a day, when my diet include starchy carbs. IDK why that is. All I can say is, I think I’m super carb-sensitive. Have you tried to cut starchy carbs?
Topic: RE: Dieting vs. bypass, confused!
I totally know what you mean! The reason I'm even on this message board is because I was planning on having wls. I had made the decision. I had my wls scheduled, vacation time requested and my flight booked. I was planning to have surgery in TJ Mexico. Then it just dawned on me that regardless of surgery I was going to have to change my bad eating habits, or I would gain back all the lost weight. I know people who have had wls, lost a bunch of weight then gain most or all of it back because they never changed what they ate, only how much they ate. Also, since I was going to have to start on a liquid diet, both pre- and post-op I decided to just go on a liquid diet w/ out the wls. So I cancelled my appointment and started a liquid diet. I did that for a couple months and did really well. I'm still doing mostly liquid and still losing, but I didn't tell most people about the liquid only phase because I didn't want to be chastised about my "unhealthy" diet. It's nobody's business but mine right? Screw everyone else.

Hi!
I was definitely in the grossly morbidly obese range a year ago at around 400lbs. To date I've lost 183lbs just through making better food choices (mostly) and a bit of exercise. I usually eat around 1000 - 1200 calories per day. I've found that cutting my calories any lower than that will cause me to stall. Plus I alway have one "splurg" day where I have higher calories than normal. That keeps my body out of starvation mode and keeps the weight coming off.
