I think I ate 10,000 calories today but not a huge amount of carbs. I accidentally ate off the FODMAP plan, though, and my gut is all torn up. FODMAP is working for me, I think. I hope it settles tomorrow because I plan to eat a bit off plan for Christmas. Will likely gain 20 pounds by the 26th

I have not been posting because I've been camping. 20 degrees overnight in a tent - BRRR! Part of the reason I ate so much today...

Lookit my Christmas present---a loss! Also started the day with a very brisk 2 miles on the treadmill, even broke into a short jog. Hope I don't undo these good changes the next few days ...

jschwab - Sorry to hear about your tummy, but it does show how the FODMAP plan can work well. Camping in harsh conditions is your thing? HAHAHA, that's a big NOPE over here---I like my comfort!

Merry Christmas to those of you celebrating and let's be kind to ourselves the next few days when it comes to eating and stuff and not fuss about it.

It will only get worse before it gets better .

GI issues mitigated by support like unpasturized ACV, yogurt, kefir,kombucha, and anything else with live microbes. For me, they act as buffers when I eat off plan.....

Oh, well! Onward and downward!

I have not been low carbing but I’m not obsessing over food either right now. I keep saying I will do some form of low carb Jan 1st but we shall see. My boyfriend bought me a beautiful iPad Pro for Christmas/Hanukkah and i haven’t even opened it yet cause I have been so busy today. It’s a long story and I will fill you all in soon but one of the reasons I wanted a tablet (that I did not share with my daughter) but to have one just to myself I am hoping it can be a sort of journal or outlet to transform my journey. It’s funny I have read a million weight loss success stories and many of them have success after learning from their mistakes. Perhaps that will be me as well. In the meantime I have work tomorrow. Wish me luck! I fell today in my building and I feel like my back and neck are going to be sore tomorrow. As luck would have it the company let the employees leave at 2pm today. I think tomorrow I will probably have to work till 5pm. I hope you all had a lovely holiday. I am Jewish but my boyfriend celebrates Christmas so dress up as an elf every year for Christmas. It is hilarious. Maybe next year I can be a sexy elf since this year my costume barely fit lol
Hugs to all
Love entropy

I hope you are enjoying Chanukah, too, Entropy39!

Ferrygirl, that is the worst.

I am up hanging around the forums because I am prepping for colonoscopy and keyed up. I accidentally took 4X the amount of laxative I was supposed to take and suffered miserably puking my guts out. Not the best way to lose weight but I expect I'll be down tomorrow after fasting and puking all day and swimming a thousand yards on top of that.

Not real, but fun to look at for a minute. I'm sure it will come back once I'm done fasting.

Still regaining back from fasting for almost 2 full days. I expect I'll be up tomorrow.

I’m so sore it feels like I have been beat up. On Thursday morning I was rushing to work and my flats were a little stretched out and I fell in my work building and my whole body went down and even though my left knee and left hand broke my fall I still heard some crunching by my neck and back and I pulled several muscles - my left groin and there is pain on my left under arm area
I just had to go to work and all these strangers helped me up and I needed to run the calendar . I’m just feeling all out of whack because of the fall. Debating on getting an x Ray in a week or two.

This being said I took my daughter to the heated pool today and am determined to be in positive spirits
