[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]8-10 pounds in a month is not possible to do in a healthy way, [/b]and I cannot believe a doc asked you to do this. I am your height, but started out weighing 10 pounds more, and have been trying to lose 15. I try to eat protein at every meal: cottage cheese or yogurt for breakfast, salad (lettuce, carrots, mushrooms, tomato, cucumber, anything else in the house) with chic peas or grilled chicken for lunch, dinner is veggies and lean protein, sometimes a high fiber carb (small sweet potato, quinoa), and if I am hungry later, air popped popcorn or an apple with 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter. I am losing about 1 pound per week.[/quote] I disagree. 135 at 5’3 should make it easy to drop weight quickly. OP has a lot of weight to lose. She could probably stand to lose 25 pounds. This isn’t the last 5 pounds kind of things. OP - cut carbs, walk 5 miles a day, no refined sugar or alcohol, don’t eat dinner after 7 PM, no snacks of any kind. [/quote] Please ignore this ridiculous post. OP’s weight at 135 is well within the healthy BMI range. [b]OP does NOT have “a lot of weight to lose.” [/b]Actually it wouldn’t be that easy to lose because OP is already at a healthy weight. It’s not impossible, but it’s not a cakewalk. [/quote] Maybe not in suburban America, but I’d be willing to bet she’s far from thin, has a roll around her midsection and is a good 25 pounds heavier than her HS weight. [/quote] Yes I’m definitely within normal range but on the higher end of it. I look thin from behind and carry all my weight in my midsection, especially the flanks. I look pregnant hence the surgery. A lot of it is the diastasis but it’s also where I carry excess fat. [/quote]
