SLOW WEIGHT LOSS!!

I have really been going through it lately with slow weight loss and snacking like a COW!!!!!!!!!! I guess its mostly stressed related and I HAVENT been able to get the gym in FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY made it to the gym yesterday after about 2 months, I was also able to go this morning. I know its totally up to me to get myself back on track but I just wanted to share this with you all. Simone

Hello and Happy New Year Simone! I wanted to tell you that i'm proud of what you've done already so slow and steady is to be expected. Step away from the snacks or make them healthy snacks (some cheese cubes, beef jerky, a sugar free pudding) Be Well, ANDI

Thank You ANDI !!!!!

Hang in there. I've been having a VERY hard time with snacking and exercising. So I completely understand what you mean. Its a life change, Mandy

AMEN SISTER and i've got the bloated budda belly to prove it! I also have some SERIOUS gas it's noxious in my house right now and i know that comes from carbs, my body just can't process them so i have to "toot" them out. Probably WAY more then you wanted to know about me but what are friends for right? Hugs, ANDI

I can totally relate to the gas~~~~~~ I CAN CLEAR A ROOM!!! Nothing like post op gas!!! Now that you mention it, it seems worst with the carbs!!

Ok so yesterday i did an experiment. I ate just the proteins and the complex carbs (some acorn squash YUM) and i was not gasious at all. My children actually thanked me for not farting all day, how freakin' pathetic is that? I bought some beef jerky (the all natural kind supposedly) and that's going to be my snack for today and maybe a clementine orange because those things are my favorite but other than that i'm on the proteins. WE CAN DO THIS YES WE CAN!!!! HUGS, ANDI

I had my husband remove ALL the snacks from the pantry today after I realized I was grabbing small fist fulls ( oxymoron?) of bagels chips, tortilla chips, pretzels etc for snacking on and because I was doing it a little at a time the habit krept up on me. Well - and after reading Andi's reply I realize the gas situation IS FROM CARBS..because it never was a problem before I started doing this. Kathryn

yeah that does explain the gas, when I left for the gym on Saturday I asked my hubby to throw away the oreo's that were bought for him and the kids!!

Hello, my name is Kat, I am a snack a holic. I do not know what is up with me, but every single thing I have learned in the last 9 months has just evaporated out of my brain. I feel your pain!
