I...Thank you for your blog and for your post here. I wish you all the best with your experiment and as others have said, every person's body and metabolism is different, so whatever works for you is great.<br /><br />I've just been on the classic hospital-developed kickstart/vegetable soup diet for two weeks but I've just discovered that I've hardly lost any weight. That diet has just KILLED me to stick to... it has been so hard to do and I was expecting to have lost SO much more weight after two weeks of suffering. I feel so dejected right now, BUT I have just read your post here and feel a lot better. I don't feel so alone in worrying about my weight. I have pre-diabetes and have put on a stone over the past couple of years, which is really dangerous for me -- as opposed to skinny chicks who 'worry' about their weight when they are only a couple of pounds over their ideal.... <br /><br />My problem is I'm never going to be able to exercise in an intense fashion because a) I just don't enjoy it nor have the motivation to do it, and b) every single time I try to do some running or some other aerobic exercise (eg zumba) I sprain my ankles almost immediately (I have unstable ankles, obviously) and then can't walk for weeks. <br /><br />Anyhow, I just want to say that I really admire your determination and your anger-motivation and that makes me think that maybe I could use my utter frustration and anger with myself (I have a problem with late-night binge eating) and redirect that into some form of exercise...just gotta find something where I don't get injured at the get-go : /<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098197753379858389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366416352072916185.post-65080247771936828632014-01-25T05:49:55.628-06:002014-01-25T05:49:55.628-06:00Its a nice post thanks for sharing.

For me, if I told myself "you can't have pizza or wine until you lose 10 pounds" well guess what? All I fixated on was that I couldn't have pizza or wine, and when I did fold and have it I would usually say "f_ck it" - I have no will power so now I'll eat like crap.<br /><br />Well, nothing is off limits to me. And I find that I can have a donut that someone brought to work, but decided not to have it because I am in control of the food, not the food controlling me.

I KNOW exactly what I need to do to lose the weight and I'm not lazy at all. I just sometimes get to a point where I resent that I have to keep up with the d*mn points and I don't want to have to know how many calories are in a hamburger bun. I just want to BE.<br /><br />That being said...I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment about self-esteem. I don't believe that anyone can lose weight until they work through why they are unhappy with themselves. You appear to be getting a handle on that - so I feel that this will actually be your year!

But, really...I've heard all this before. You're right, I'm lazy, I don't commit as much as I should, but that doesn't mean I don't have the willpower to lose weight. I've heard the whole 80/10/10 thing before, and I'm so tired of being fed statistics and science and everything else that's been crammed down my throat. Apparently, there are other people that have lost lots of weight by simply eating better and exercising more. Why can't I be one of them?Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807379587473251820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366416352072916185.post-4146960095476428392014-01-08T23:50:46.349-06:002014-01-08T23:50:46.349-06:00Who could possibly hate on you for resolving to ge...Who could possibly hate on you for resolving to get more exercise? <br /><br />Everyone has a different chemistry. What works perfectly for one person will not work for another. This 80% diet/10% exercise/10% genetics algorithm is nothing more than a gross estimation of the mean average for the general population. If exercise is what works for you, do it! Even if you didn't lose a single pound there is plenty of evidence suggesting that increasing your activity will a) boost overall health, b) boost longevity, and c) boost your mood and sense of well-being. <br /><br />And what exactly is wrong with that?<br /><br />Best of luck to you on your journey!<br /><br />Bonnie<br /><br />bonniegoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971733662857727850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366416352072916185.post-7211506289536223902014-01-08T20:29:10.761-06:002014-01-08T20:29:10.761-06:00When I ran 5 miles a day, I could eat whatever I w...When I ran 5 miles a day, I could eat whatever I wanted. Literally. One hour of running a day and I didn't give a damn about enjoying whatever food I wanted. It was very freeing and I came to love the runner's high so it was a win-win all the way around. In the beginning, before I could run 5 miles/an hour at a time - I did watch my food a bit more. Stayed away from candy and such - but once I could burn a good 500/600 calories in an hour - I could whatever I wanted. I'd always burn it off and my metabolism was running well. I'm with you on this. All the way.♥ Drazil ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/10177140029694038645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366416352072916185.post-35145461687087642092014-01-08T19:07:26.797-06:002014-01-08T19:07:26.797-06:00Thank for the support, Jan.

With regard to food I think it should be called lifestyle choices and not diet. Over the last five years or so I have been following or living the LCHF lifestyle and I now wouldn't go back to any other choice. I have reduced my carbohydrate intake to about 50 grams per day mainly from non starchy vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, spinach. I eat fats such as butter, avocados, cheese etc and moderate protein from eggs, fish, meat.<br /><br />We obviously have to take account of any underlying health issues but for me this lifestyle works.<br /><br />Good luck in your exercise and eating - I'm sure you can make 2014 a good year for you.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366416352072916185.post-80417095118405584772014-01-08T15:17:59.389-06:002014-01-08T15:17:59.389-06:00No workout can out-work a poor diet. You're a...No workout can out-work a poor diet. You're a not-exactly-young female with a history of being overweight/obese. Your weight is determined by 80% diet, 10% exercise, 10% genetics. Your health is influenced tremendously by your diet...as are your children's choices. Eating what you feel like and thinking you can burn it off doesn't work, 1) because of physiology and 2) because if you're like the vast majority of people, the workouts happen sporadically, if at all, while the food intake is steady and voluminous. The only "plan" you need is to eat real food that contributes nutrition to your body. The portions will adjust themselves shortly as you find that you are much more easily and continuously satiated by eating whole foods and drinking plenty of water (a gallon a day). Exercise is to increase fitness; i.e., strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, etc. --not to burn off crap you ate or buy you permission to eat crap/eat more.

But there was no plan, no apps (there weren't even apps 10 years ago haha), and I didn't read about weight loss at all. I just wanted a change, and did it. I dropped 60 pounds in a little over half a year. Only in the past couple years, when I wanted to go to the next step (ie. have the body of my dreams), did I jump into heavy nutrition studying and planning. But I think this idea of yours is very do-able and realistic, if you are honest with yourself about how much you are moving and what you are eating!!Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932197714895328100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366416352072916185.post-21243948401518094722014-01-06T18:41:45.655-06:002014-01-06T18:41:45.655-06:00Wow I just found your blog and after reading this ...Wow I just found your blog and after reading this entry, I cannot believe how similar we are.
