Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Well, when I went to the endocrinologist on the 28th of June, I had lost 14 pounds in the past three months. Since then, I have dropped another 6. I would like to commit five pounds for the month of July, though I'd really like to lose about 10 this month. Still, to be realistic...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks Eunice, I have been really calm until today and for some reason my adrenalin is raging. I hope to go read a book and calm down. Hugs to you and do you have a city in your area. We are looking all over the USA now. sus Re: weight loss In a message dated 7/3/2004 11:40:19 AM Eastern Daylight Time, cld60@... writes: I am under great stress as my husband was laid off on Thursday again. He is a IT manager and we are really under pressure as we only have 2 months to live without being homeless. So yea.IM stressed. Hi Sussie, I would tell you not to worry about your hubby's job situation, but it wouldn't do any good. I was in this situation a few years ago. Hubby was without a job for almost 3 months. I'll keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers, if that is okay. I'm sure he will find another job soon and one that is even better than before. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Well, form what I've learned concerning weight loss, what you are seeing and what seh is saying does effect each other. When you cut calories too much your body really does slow its consumption down. However, if you are loosing a pound a week that is a good rate at which to loose form my understanding. After all that is 52 pounds a year that is a significant amount. Loose it much faster and it is normally water based and doesn't stay off. Just my two cents of understanding. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Kelleigh Larsson Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 5:45 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Weight Loss I went to a weight class tonight.

I started the no flour, nothing white, and no sugar thing, and with my total gym, walking and swimming, under a nutritionist supervision, and my doctor, I lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks, and now I have lost the total of 25 pounds, and am now at my right weight of 115, but I now eat a bit more carbs(where for a while I was not eating anything that consisted of carbs, or startches), but now am slowly including them in my meal planning.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have heard of this. Apparently if your body thinks it's starving it will hold on to every calorie you eat in order to store up energy. Of course if you were really getting almost no food then this would be a good thing and you would still lose weight, but 1200-1500 calories is still a substantial amount so there is no weight loss. If your body is not thinking it's " starving " then metabolism will speed up and more calories will be burned. I've heard that the minimum calorie requirement for most women is about 1300 calories and preferably closer to 1500, and more if you weigh more. This is all just stuff I've read, though, and I don't have any scientific articles to back it up, though it might be worth googling the topic and seeing what you come up with.
