So do you exercise? If so what do you do?
What was the hardest part about losing?
i need all you can give me.
I'm on Symbicort 1-2 times a day and get prednisone with every big attack. I'm convinced it put the weight ON me.

You look great to me!,BTW.
I'm feeling that it's a lot of work. Not that I'm unwilling, but Dh works nights, I work days and we have a toddler. Me-alone time does not exist. And I live in Canada, where our winters end about now, and begin again in Oct. I'm walking and do golf, but it all depends on babysitting etc. Oy!

I always said if God had given me the ABILITY to make myself throw up, I'd be bulimic. I've been using laxatives for 10 years now. Never to a bulimic level but pretty close. i never lost weight from them though. GERD is part of the issue is it? I have a real problem with satiety clues too. When I graduated i was a size 5, and could go days without food and just NOT NOTICE. Ah, I wish.

People from the USlook at me like I'm talking out my bum, and those of you from the UK have things that make ZERO sense to me. Isn't that funny? Aren't we all English language offspring??

Compliments are VERY cheering!  Especially when I'm sitting here in an old dressing gown looking scruff!
The kilted guys are my cousins...we have grand and great-grand parents who were Scottish and it's kinda stuck!
There's nothing like being happy for getting a good pic! I hardly stopped smiling the whole wedding day.

Well - I do workout - but not as faithfully as I should. I also didn't even really start until after I had lost weight by just following the diet -- I guess I needed that motivation. Once I saw results - it was easier. I still don't "like" to work out -- and I have to be careful because sometimes just the act of working out can bring on an asthma attack for me. It used to do that a lot. Now it doesn't so much (I think I may be losing that excuse).
When I work out I alternate between a ball workout and the treadmill. (I walk - not run) I used to do some Pilates as well. I have't done that in a long time though.
I think the biggest key to my weight loss (other than the lower fat diet & getting rid of sodas that is part of the IBS diet) was also the hardest part -- portion control.
I looked at what serving sizes were supposed to be. Then I slowly reduced my portions to be closer. (I swear - some of those portions aren't anywhere near right.) However -- I could tell in some cases - I was having 4 times or more what I should be having. That was not going to help my IBS or my weight.
Instead of having a bowl of cereal and filling it all the way to the top - I would pour a little less. Then in another week, I would pour a little less... and so on. My appetite got smaller and so did my body. My IBS symptoms were doing great too. As long as you don't go too low (and I love food too much for that).
Balance is the key.
