Progress

As of the week of April 23,2006 to 29th I lost my first 5lbs

the next week I lost again. 5lbs. and I am trying to stay on track.

the true start is after I realized I could not control my weight even on a diet. (adkins and southbeach) were at 1200 calories and I was gaining weight. one to three pounds a week and not knowing why. this was Feb 2004 that I was 187lb on a 5 ft 7 inch med frame which hid weight and water gain well.

Sept 6, 2005 since Aug 24 I've been on a strict diet where I weight myself every day and take the smallest reading. since the beginning of this summer. sometime in june. I had experience days where I just knew the diet was working. that means I was going to the bathroom with a lot of urine coming out. yet I would not weight myself in the summer. it was a very hot summer here in Michigan. and I was upset at the failure to identify the problem. I came to the conclusion that it was Saturated Fats. yet on the diet I went from my all time high 211lbs to 208lbs. and I could not get lower. I noticed my foods. and decided to check. I actually after a year on the diet found a problem food. hidden or not checked flour ingredient in my twizzlers candy. I was shocked as I found it out today. yet I re-gained some confidence to say Saturated Fat would not be total eliminated as I felt it was not the problem. So I will be checking in later. As of today. a three pound loss in six days is nothing to jump and shout. My husband once massaged me and it must of been on a good day as I had a record 7 lbs loss that day. I just hope I don't need to extra massage as he gets very tired out doing it so its a rare treat.

Update Sept 27, 2005

Well I've been maintaing and not gaining. but this is about loss. so I need to be a better dectective. I am done researching my next quest. Something I forgotten to add importance. that is most wheat suffers, or gluten suffers ( I do not know) have a allergy to one or more foods. Well I realized I sorta ignored Yeast. Though since reading in adkins of yeast problems. I grab Linda's book and though it could be the culprit. as I am craving sweets. Yet I though I was okay. Yet in March and late feb. I lost alot of water. I recalled I was also low on sweets. and learned through adkins that its very hard to detect. their rotational diet to find the culprit is something I prefer not to do. I rather do Linda's waterfall of avoidence. since I am sure this method though slow is though. I also note that saturated fats don't see to be the last culprit. So hence forth I am avoiding table sugar. and yeast items. though I need to research it more. cheese, mushroom which I never ate and vinegar are things which I need to avoid. I usual give it a week before I check. yet somewhere the problem lies. and I sometimes can't test two weeks in a row if you are counting my time. I have social functions the past 3 weeks and been slow because of that. but I did avoid saturated fats. just did not check as often my water level.

I want to add a photo for the people who say she been on this diet for a long time. and has'nt lost the water. it proof of the good effect the diet has done. and healing as my doctor of Gastro have told me could take a couple of years. so actual by his last statement to me. I was on track. The pictures show a skin blotchy brown which I was told was a sun condition. the diet has caused the reacurring problem to vanish. and only photo can document that. that a side effect bonus of this diet.

Because of many factors and am gaining weight. I know as of march 26, 8 food allergies. now I cannot stop all foods as I made pizza mix with egg. wheat free gluten free the best you can taste like flour pizza. however because of on going medical problems. I suspect my kidney, bladder and have been monitered for years. though I even suspect my nerves. I am going in a few weeks back to the neurologist. I have 8 known food allergies from that test : wheat, eggs, mushroom, yellow squash, onion, cukes, seaseame seed. I know I spelled it wrong. but I am updating alot right now. I do not give up. I try to find a science answer to my problem of why the diet alone isn't working. and last food allergy is the worst Ginger. which I ate in boston coolers sugar free fat free isn't good enough if you eat ginger and are severely allergic to it. Amazingly I put it in stir frys , ginger tea, cereals and when I though I help 'flatulence'. now I am going without it. my husband is the only worker and is currently 4 days so please don't think I am not trying. I had a 4 day work week since nov of 2006. we just can't afford the foods to replace them. so I ate a pizza crust with alittle eggs. I know; but I will make it no more with eggs. the best package is the gluten free one from brighten michigan. 'tastefully gluten free' mix is the best I ever ate. please watch my continued work in fighting this condition. this week starts lower my calories. but I increased my drinking and that seems to be a problem. only water is what I increase. drink more to flush out waste and such.
