I know I have been gaining weight during SIP, but I've mostly been wearing long, flowy dresses and haven't noticed. Today I'm wearing knit sweater shorts and a loose sweatshirt and I am APPALLED at myself. How can I lose weight quickly? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

^^on a more helpful note, I assume you're eating in? Don't buy desserts and sweets, you can control what food is in your house; it's all about control. [ Reply | More

This. And also meal prep really helps, just like you would if you were prepping for a busy week at the office, etc. I went nuts at first with the bounty of groceries we were keeping on hand (and making kids breakfast and lunch every day, in addition to our usual dinners). But I've been planning my personal meals for the day in advance now which helps me not overeat. Also stopped snacking except for a piece of fruit in the afternoon. [ Reply | More

OP: I've been doing that my whole life! We don't even really have snacks in the house except chips and salsa (DH eats them, I do not), low fat cheese sticks, and seaweed snacks. And for the most part, I only eat twice a day. I do drink a lot, and when I cut back, I lost 8 lbs in like a week, but it's come back even with cutting back. I have my thyroid tested monthly (not related to this)- my TSH is the lowest it's ever been, but still in normal range. I am distraught. [ Reply | More

I wish I were like this. I am constantly nauseous, but an empty stomach makes it worse. The only things that make me feel better are simple carbs- plain pasta, rice, soft bread. [ Reply | More

I sort of "weaned" myself off bread; perhaps something like vegetables so that you won't have an empty stomach? [ Reply | More

Thanks! I really liked them. I was very, very skinny as a kid/teen. I started gaining weight in my 20s-30s. Depending on where in the US you live, you would have said I was either "average" or "thin" (solidly a size 6). Now I think I might actually be medically overweight? (5'7, 155 lbs) and I'm just not used to dressing for this body. [ Reply | More

I have decided to try alternate day fasting (ADF). I joined a facebook group and have been lurking in there watching people post their results. It seems like it would be a good option to work around socializing and stuff. I have 35 to lose. [ Reply | More

Don't lose weight quickly - your body will just want to claw it back by slowing down your metabolism. You want to be stealthy about it. Do it slowly, even if it takes longer. [ Reply | More
