Thanks for your response! You are right... I allowed a few slider foods to derail my progress. My tummy still hurts sometimes and unfortunately, carbs are still comforting. I'm making a list of low or no carb foods that will be well tolerated, such as Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. I really want to see some results, so I'm willing to make some changes!

Thanks again for your input!

Thanks for your response! It's amazing how quickly we forget the basics, and a newby is a good resource, so I don't discount your advice at all! As a matter of fact, I'm sitting here making a grocery list, including your suggestions! I'm hoping to turn this ship around, and start seeing some results...

We'll keep in touch. Good luck with your journey!

Thanks for your response, Roz! I tend to be a grazer. I get hungry, but it doesn't take much to satisfy me. So I eat small amounts frequently. We have a Lowe's Foods that will do online shopping, and a Walmart close by. That's a good suggestion! A lot of temptations in the store...and samples, like Costco! I think I'll look into this~ thanks again for your input! Have a great weekend!

Thanks for your response! I so need to move more...I'm active, but I think I may see some results from being mindful to step it up! I'm not excited about turning 50, but it's just a number

Welcome aboard! I had my surgery at age 52 and I get where you're coming from. My metabolism was totally shot but what helped me was walking nearly every hour at work for about 8 - 10 minutes. It sort of ignited the fat burner. I hope things will turn around for you.

4 mo out/ 161 lbs

B- half a cup of cottage cheese, blueberries, vanilla protein powder

L- same as breakfast

AS - half a protein bar

D- deli turkey

ES- 3.5 oz red wine plus LF string cheese

total calories 861, protein 111, carbs 54 (yikes), sugar 24, fat 16

Heading out to a weekend with friends. I've packed cottage cheese, lunch meat, tuna and Greek yogurt. I've also packed some protein bars which make me a little ill (the sugar alcohol?) so that should help me resist the carbs.

Today I've spent about 90 minutes using my under-desk elliptical machine. I'm not sure it's actually exercise, but it does raise my heart rate some (similar to walking) and I figure anything is better than being totally sedentary!

This weekend will include hiking :)
