Okay, even though I haven't been doing fitday, I thought I'd report in to try and get me back in the swing of things...

Breakfast: 2 ADBs

Lunch: crackers, tuna mayo and some olives (safe for me).

Oh that sounds AWFUL! I slept all morning as well...still trying to recover from the w/e without a flare.

I'm gonna go and drink some water rightaway.

I didn't eat anything especially bad, I just ate way too much, period. My calories were up over 2000, and I didn't exercise at all. Tsk.

BMR + lifestyle + regular exercise = 2400

Calorie goal for a little bit of weight loss for the summer = 1900-2000 calories/day + 85-122g protein + min. 61 oz water


Breakfast - English muffin with tea, oatmeal with applesauce and chopped almonds, scrambled egg whites (639)

Snack - toasted bagel and applesauce (299)

Another snack (skipping lunch here ) - rice crackers with some jalepeno hummus (yum) (160)

Dinner - soup with a hunk of bread, banana for dessert (580)

Snack - mug of soy milk, 1 pear (211)

Total - 2000 calories on the dot
% - 12F / 72C / 16P (which is only 73g of protein and too low , that's what I get for skipping lunch)

Probably about 60 oz water today.

Exercise: 30 mins of intense hill climbing on the treadmill (good sweat ) - 173 calories burned.

Good job! That's much improved! Again, just take it slow... aim to stay at that level for a week, I'm sure your body is just getting used to it. Mine wasn't always happy about more food either, but you just have to show it who's boss.

I forget - do you take any over-the-counter meds for your symptoms? Gas-X or imodium, for example? If not, you might want to try them in moderation while you're still trying to stabilize. If you are, then nevermind.

I take Immodium before a meeting a some of time when I really can't afford to have D. Like flying this weekend, ugg, I can't imagine how awful having D on a plane would be! It really seems to help, but somehow I'm really hesitant to take it anymore than I have to.

I bought some Gas-X and took it once on Monday. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what it's for/ when I should take it. I seemed to pass gas and be much more burpy that evening though, allot it seemed to help the bloat. What that just a sign that it was working? And if so, its certainly something to take once you are safely home for the evening, eh?

Also, I notice that Gas-X has sorbitol listed as an ingredient, and I know that's a big trigger. But, I also hear of many people taking it. I bought the regular name-brand Gas-X, so I was surprised to see that. Does it seem to be a problem for anyone?

Hello all! Here's Tuesday's report:

Breakfast - Pineapple-mango soy milk smoothie, slice of sourdough (added the fiber to the smoothie today) 305
Snack - red pepper slices 40
Lunch - Lemon pepper turkey w/Swiss on WW 248
Snack - Banana 109
Dinner - 4 egg white omlet w/asparagus and feta (UFO!!!), sourdough, strawberries (ate too fast, felt crampy - may have been b/c of the cheese, too) 309
Dessert - the last of the Easter treats! and glass of soy milk 208

Excercise - I WENT FOR A RUN!!! It was just a mile at a 13min pace on the treadmill, but it has been soooo long. Of course I am quite sore today as a result but at least my foot doesn't seem worse than usual. We'll see - it is very hard to take this so slowly but I know I will get hurt again if I rush!

water - 60ish oz.

Total food calories were low, only 1340. Don't know why, other than I broke my breakfast routine (don't worry, I was back to oatmeal this AM! )

YES! I had/have major problems with Gas-X gelcaps. And yes, sorbitol is listed as an ingredient in the gelcaps. It would get rid of the gas but give me pains, so, until I asked someone on this message board, I didn't understand why. Of course, the people on here pointed out the sorbitol, and told me it was only in the gelcaps (of course, I always check the label now, on most things). I have no problems with the chewables at all! I was so happy to find that out, so I thought I would pass it on.

Just fyi, Immodium is safe and useful to use as a preventative drug all the time...you just need to find the level that won't give you C! For me that was one tablet every morning for a few months - it REALLY helped me to stabilise.

Hello all! Here's Tuesday's report:

Breakfast - Pineapple-mango soy milk smoothie, slice of sourdough (added the fiber to the smoothie today) 305
Snack - red pepper slices 40
Lunch - Lemon pepper turkey w/Swiss on WW 248
Snack - Banana 109
Dinner - 4 egg white omlet w/asparagus and feta (UFO!!!), sourdough, strawberries (ate too fast, felt crampy - may have been b/c of the cheese, too) 309
Dessert - the last of the Easter treats! and glass of soy milk 208

Excercise - I WENT FOR A RUN!!! It was just a mile at a 13min pace on the treadmill, but it has been soooo long. great job! Of course I am quite sore today as a result but at least my foot doesn't seem worse than usual. oh good! We'll see - it is very hard to take this so slowly but I know I will get hurt again if I rush!

water - 60ish oz.

Total food calories were low, only 1340. Don't know why, other than I broke my breakfast routine (don't worry, I was back to oatmeal this AM! )

Your goals for a bit of weight loss this summer are RIGHT ON THE DOT. You seem to know that too little calories only harms your body, and I love that you are aiming for high protein. I aim for 1900-2200 calories a day and 120-130g protein, so we are very similar!

Great job on your eating for today!

...to not chuck a pillow at your cat when it wakes you up at 6:30am. Mereike gets a pillow thrown at her anytime she does anything like that in the middle of the night. My fiance has a good aim so it usually hits her smack in the belly and knocks her over... and then she's quiet at night for another week or so.

(We do love our cat, just not when she is noisy at night!)

Karen, I think you're supposed to take your resting BMR 1700 or whatever and MULTIPLY it by an activity level like:
bedridden X1.2
seated work X 1.4
seated work with some walking, moving 1.6
active 1.8
very busy 2.0
Then that number should be the number you work from to add in exercise and decrease by 20%. Here's a link to the post that Laurel calculated for me. Our BMR's are fairly close: web page

Hi Nat, If i could suggest anything, i think you need to work on making breakfast a bigger meal, fuel up for the start of the day. Try to add more protein in it eg. eggs. A lot of people have trouble with appetite in the mornings, but with like anything, with a little training you will get used to waking up looking for breakfast. Also try wholemeal bread instead of white as it has a much lower GI for sustained energy and less hunger. Also, just my opinion by the way, am not an expert, but maybe try to get the fruits in earlier in the day as opposed to tea time, as a lot of fruit sugars will give you a sugar spike which doesn't last long, followed by hunger. Heaps of people find eating fruit can stimulate hunger.
Sounds like you and me have the same fav subway...mmmm chicken teriyaki with sweet chilli sauce......
Oh and lose the crisps...bad girl!
Hope this is of some use
Cheers
Ralph

Hi Natalie,

I, too, have the problem with wanting to eat more than I should. I typically aim for 1900-2300 calories a day, but right now I'm cutting back to 1700-2000 to try to tone up a bit more (I'd like to get down to 16% bodyfat, which might take a while)

Anyway, one thing I've found is that I need foods that will fill me up with little calories. Some I like are:

-unsweetened applesauce with some cinnamon mixed in
-(peeled) apple
-Oat bran - a 1/2 cup has only 116cal and makes a HUGE bowl when cooked
-egg whites - you can eat a whole lot of them for virtually no calories, no fat, and all that good protein!

When I think of more, I'll let you know.

Also, I use FitDay.com almost obsessively to track my calories, fat & protein. At any point during the day, I know how many calories, etc. that I've had so I know how to space my meals out so I feel satisfied.

And yet another thing I do is drink a cup of tea when I think I might be hungry - if I'm not satisfied with that, I eat.

Good luck!

FitDay has Basal for 1251 and Lifestyle for 540. It adds up to 1791. It is WAY more than WW had me at (20 points). I sit most of the day, so I felt that the lifestyle of 540 was probably more accurate for me at this time. When (if?) I find a job, I know that I will be more active, and my Lifestyle figure will go to I think 783.

Thanks,
Karen

Thank you!

Mostly I'd just like to lower my body fat - I've never had it measured correctly but I think I'm somewhere around 20-22% right now. I'd like to get that down to oh, around 18% maybe. That might take a while but I'm in no rush. I'm starting my spring training too, bumping weights up to 4 days a week (2 day push/pull split, 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off), with 20 mins cardio afterwards (treadmill or rowing machine). Plus yoga. Sound good?

I've noticed that too from your posts (that we are fairly similar). I'd like to get more protein that I'm aiming for but it's tough without a protein powder or other kind of supplement. Do you take one? I've tried a few soy ones and haven't really found one I like (mostly I find them to be just too thick and chalky when mixed). Any suggestions on brands?

Thanks so much!

my advice: A big brekkie- like porridge (i usually put some fruit in mine)
A medium lunch(i usually have a sandwich with tuna or chicken or turkey)
A big early dinner_ i try to eat by 7 and have a lot of carbs with this- pasta or rice. Vegetable soup isn't dinner! You need some protein and something to fill you. My lowest calorie dinner is any veg in the fridge (tomatoes,peppers,onions,spinach,courgettes) with prawns and Dolmio Express Tomato and Basil Sauce with Pasta or rice.

I think because you had such a light dinner you craved snacks. Tamara has called me "the cookie monster" because i love my biccies but I do try to eat a full meal every evening to fill me up beforehand. If you eat what my mother would call "a good dinner" and your fruit puree as dessert (like I do) hopefully you won't get the munchies.

There's no science to this at all,(or if there is I don't know it ) its just what works for me.

Good luck
