 Hello and welcome!

I would suggest logging all of your food into myfitnesspal . com (free) or another website, if you're not already doing that.  Then come play in our daily CAR thread.  There people can look at what you're eating and make healthy suggestions.  Don't forget to post Calories, Protein and Carbs.

Fruit is a bear.  In December I was eating 2 pieces a day, eating 800 - 900 calories and exercising and I couldn't shed a pound.  I think it's not only about calories, but what type of foods we eat.  At least that's my story.  I did much better in January when i dumped the fruit and really counted the carbs.

Good luck!!

I would suggest logging in food totals as well. Also, please check out the CARB Accountability for ideas on what others are doing.

Exercise would not only help with losing weight, but also with constipation. You gotta get those juices flowing. Also, fats will help it move along, so make sure you are getting enough fat in your diet. You didn't mention how much water you are taking in, this needs to be very high. It will not only help with constipation, but also to flush out the ketones--which in large quantities is hard on the kidneys.

Thanks guys!  Starting today, will add in fat, drop the fruit, count the carbs & start walking more.  I'm drinking tons of water.  Will go & get some probiotics!  Thanks for all the advice!  Will see what this does!
