<<! But worst of all was the amount the nurse read out from the scale, I

had NO idea I was that big!! well fat, lets be honest here! That alone

has

shocked me into a quest to lose weight. I need to lose 56 lbs, to get

back

to my wedding weight I need to lose 80 lbs! thats long haul, (its taken

7

years to put it all on!) ugh, but I am so shocked at myself that i must

do

it, sigh. Anybody out there with a load to lose that would like to be

weight loss buddy? Compare notes, encourage the battle to continue, that

sort of thing? i don't want to go to a club but know I am very weak

willed

with dieting!!

Hi Sue,

I know what you mean by shock...I don't own a scale and when I renewed

my driving license she asked is hair, height and eye color were the

same...well

I said maybe the weight had changed! lol

I'd love to be a buddy with you. I did cut out my daily coke about 3

months

ago. But I am still not doing what I should be doing.

Wow, it seems like since I've been taking Lexapro, I've gained weight.

I believe a multi-vitamin would help you. But you might want to check in to

something specifically for energy boost.

Take care.

Watching my calorie intake and portion control was how I did it.

When I went to the nutritionist I was at 85 lbs and I am 5ft. She put me on a

1072 calorie diet and I was able to lose weight on it. She used some sort of

formula to come up with it, but I dont remember what it was.  She was not sure

if it would work but wanted me to try it for a month and then check. I lost

weight in the first month so she assumed it was a good goal. After that she said

to just barely go over that in order to maintain.

 

Otherwise I dont know what our exact intake should be. Im sure it still depends

on your height and current weight.

I weigh 55 lbs. I used the USDA Food Tracker web site to get a sense of how

much I eat and how balanced my food intake is. It's pretty individual how much

we need. Before I was ventilated I burned a lot more calories. For me to

maintain my weight I eat between 900 and 1300 calories a day. When I'm

successful at more consistently eating at the high end of that range, I gain

weight. Gaining is my goal.

[Guest guest]

The only way I've found is by eating way, way, way less. For me

that's under 800 calories a day. And that is still slow going. It's

always been a struggle for me.

I just came across a very interesting article with regards to weight loss.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05...enge-to-obesity.html

The following is an excerpt. It is well worth your while to read the entire

article.

quote:

That the conventional wisdom of 3,500 calories less is what it takes to lose a

pound of weight is wrong. The body changes as you lose. Interestingly, we also

found that the fatter you get, the easier it is to gain weight. An extra 10

calories a day puts more weight onto an obese person than on a thinner one.

Also, there’s a time constant that’s an important factor in weight loss.

That’s because if you reduce your caloric intake, after a while, your body

reaches equilibrium. It actually takes about three years for a dieter to reach

their new “steady state.†Our model predicts that if you eat 100 calories

fewer a day, in three years you will, on average, lose 10 pounds — if you

don’t cheat.

Another finding: Huge variations in your daily food intake will not cause

variations in weight, as long as your average food intake over a year is about

the same. This is because a person’s body will respond slowly to the food

intake.
