I’ve decided to put my journey on the forum as a way of staying accountable.

I have struggled to lose the weight I gained after having my babies. In addition, I am insulin resistant. I do not have very much weight to lose but I do need to change my diet.

My stats are:
1.64m
64.5kg

I am starting tomorrow.

Hi JMG – welcome aboard the BSD ‘train’. Like you I have struggled to lose weight – been a bit of a life long thing actually. I started off at:
1.55 (5′ 1″)
69.39kg (153lb)

Now at 61.67lg (136lb). Did a seven week stint, broke for a long stay in Turkey for 10wks and now I am into week eight of a second stint.

Sadly for those of us with not much to lose, even using this new way of eating we generally find the weight drops slowly. However, it seems that progress is still largely steady. The best bit though, is that the BSD way of eating is habit forming, so that once you are over the initial couple of weeks, the whole thing feels really easy.

Look forward to reading your results soon. Be sure to make good use of the forum for support and advise when necessary, there is a great crowd on here, with a wealth of information and encouragement.

Good luck!

Thank you SunnyB. Day 1 wasn’t too bad.

Hi Caro,

Welcome! I would love to share the journey with someone.

It was not the best week for me to start last week due to a 4-day trip to the mountains with a group of friends. Too much yummy food and wine ( I didn’t bother recording my calories for those four days). As a consequence, this week’s loss has been fairly minimal – only 300g total over the week – 64.2kg. Hopefully I will be more focused this week with no trips away or eating out.

Hi JMG.
You are very good for documenting everything. I get on the scale every morning and write down what i eat but don’t seem to get around to the cals and carb content. Just trying to find the right foods. Think i made a mistake today with peas and broad beans. Love them. Ate lots of them as i love them but didn’t realize til afterwards they had a high carb load. The scales said i lost 2kg by the morning of day 4 and put 700g back on by this morning day 5. Hopefully tomorrow’s weigh in is at least in the downward direction.

Which country are you in JMG? I am in Australia.

Hey Caro,

I am in Australia too – NSW. I use My Fitness Pal to record everything and that makes it easy to see calories and carbs. I am fairly boring with my food. I pretty much have the same breakfast every day because it is easy. I find Miso soup really filling which keeps me going during the day. Lunch and dinner vary but not a lot. Must be a creature of habit.

I think it is normal during the week to go up and down and hopefully at the end of the week the scales are going down.

Hmmm. Day 6 started out great. Had a baby sitter for a few hours so i was very efficiently crossing of various jobs and errands. Then came the hunger. Late afternoon. Hasn’t been like this before. Had some chickpeas. I am allergic to nuts so i can’t snack on those like others do. Was passing time at the shops early evening while my daughter does an after school activity. I had Lindt chocolate – one of the snack sizes bars they have brought out. I actually sought out the chocolate aisle when all week i have avoided it. If there is a positive from it i can say that I felt a bit off after eating it so no enjoyment there. A good thing I suppose. But the evening got worse. After we got home and my lovely dinner of chicken and salad I got the munchies. Muesli bar. Cereal. And finished with 2 slices of toast. Aaaaargh. It was as if I couldn’t stop myself. This is the type of evening I would always have. An overload of carbs from Crunchy things. So now having thought about it – It is the crunch I am missing. Suffice to say I didn’t count my cals yesterday just noted the foods down.
Anyway today is a new day. OH is home and can keep me on the straight and narrow for a week if i look like straying to the pantry. He has enough willpower for a whole country and will happily eat what i eat to make things easier for the family routine. Maybe I won’t get on the scales today. Tomorrow morning will be day 1 of week 2 so i will weigh then.
Ordered a Garmin fitness watch thing last night. Actually for father’s day so might get one for myself once i have seen it.
Ok. Confession complete.
JMG – look forward to your itemized day. I did try Mfp but it took me so long i lost interest. So i just write it down.
Hope you are all having success.

Thanks PrincestonianStud! Same to you. Caro, I use a Garmin and find it really good. I sync it with Garmin Connect on my iphone and then it automatically links to MFP. I have always used Garmin watches and have never had a problem with them. Nice that your OH is back home for a while. Have you tried Miso Soup as a snack. I find it very filling and low cals. Also, you could have a glass of milk. That would fill you up. Also, try brushing your teeth straight after dinner. It might deter you from eating after dinner.
Hope you have a good day today.

Hi JMG. another good day for you! Which Miso soup brand do you buy? I used to love it but when i have liked recently the only brands i can find are full of preservatives. I enjoy todu so could add that also. Caro

Should have checked the spelling in previous post. That is swipe text for you on a Samsung. Should say looked and tofu

Hikari Miso – Instant Miso Soup (Wakame)

Morning. Week i am please to say yesterday was a success. Stuck to the right foods. While temptation was around me in the school playground after school (we stay behind on Fridays with a group so the kids can play ) I avoided everything. Then at home same thing.
Anyway to cap off the end of Week 1 – I have lost 2.2kg. Happy with that.
So am motivated for day 1 of week 2 today. I know the weight loss will slow so I hope to lose 1kg this week. Maybe that is a bit too ambitious given less to lose overall but I will try.
JMG – bought some Miso soup so will put that to good use today. Hope you have a good weekend.
The one down side of my OH being home is that my routine is thrown out and I don’t get out to walk with my son. We run around doing jobs which mainly involve driving. Another reason the weight loss will slow. Never mind. So far so good.
Caro

Keep it up! And do me a small favor:

Reward yourself daily on your successses!!!

Just a long bubble bath is a reward I do for myself!

Live Long And Prosper!

A long bath – don’t know what one of those is! With 2 young kids a reward is simply 5 minutes of peace.
My reward will be new clothes a bit at a time.

Just think of all the exercise they’re giving you Caro!

Hey Caro, well done on your 2.2kgs. That’s awesome. Glad the miso worked out. I made pumpkin and mushroom soup on the weekend so I will be living on that for a couple of days. I love soup! Had a good weekend despite going to several social engagements but I made sure I ate before I went and didn’t eat too much while there. I know what you mean about a long bath. I always promise myself one and I’d be lucky to have one per year. Just have too much to do with my children around.

Hope you have a good week.

Hi All
I might jump in on the BSD action too if that’s ok? I’m a working mum of young kids who has steadily gotten fatter since pregnancy on a diet of tea and biscuits as well as kids left overs.
I started the BSD with a vengeance a month ago ( the freezer is full of BSD soups) but petered out very quickly. Let’s hope take two is slightly more successful👍

Welcome Ffaster!
I hope we can help support you in your endeavours.
The forums is great and very inspiring. Have a look around.

HI everyone – I’ve just ordered the book and keen to get started.
Needing to lose 15kg+ after gaining a lot of weight the past 15m after cancer treatment (prognosis is good for me!).
Curious to know re meals – does everyone eat 3 meals per day, or do some find it easier to have 2 meals??
And is it a good idea to weigh daily ???
I’m a South Australian girl…. wanting to be slimmer for our summer 🙂
Thanks everyone!

Hi JulieAA,

Welcome! So glad you have joined us. Good to hear that your prognosis is good. Must have been a very difficult time for you.

I eat three meals per day but in saying that I eat breakfast quite late as I fast 16 hours most days. Technically, it is probably not breakfast.

I weigh every day but a lot of people don’t. It is not necessary to but I like to.

Look forward to seeing your results.

Hi JulieAA.
Yes welcome and hope you have great success with everything. This is a very supportive forum. I am only on day 11. Definitely gets easier after the first week. You don’t have to make fancy meals with exotic ingredients that you may not have in the pantry normally. Just meals that you actually want to eat is the key and easy otherwise hunger can get the better off you if you are not prepared. I find leaving breakfast till 9am works for me and leaving lunch as late as possible. The afternoons into the evening are the hardest. I get hungry and sometimes the energy slump so most of my food intake is later in the day. All the best. Caro

Struggled loads in the evening- cactus hour with the kids. Desperately wanted a carb fix or a glass of wine to cope with the whining and fighting. Managed to struggle through with… Water. Fingers crossed everyone goes to bed early tonight. I’m not sure how long the water will cut it.

Hi JMG.
how do you manage to get all your exercise in? As predicted i haven’t even managed a walk since OH came home. And haven’t weighed myself since Monday morning day 3 of week 2 as the scales showed an increase of 1kg over night! Super bloated with retained fluid from imminent period. Refuse to get back on the scales until bloating has gone otherwise i would be very disheartened and definitely would hear the chocolate calling my name. One more day of driving around cramming as many jobs in as we can before he is off again then i can get back to a daily walk with my son. Caro

Hey Caro,
I have to admit that I get up early to run. I meet my running buddy at about 5.30am. I work full-time so I have to squeeze in the walks whenever I can. While my children are at swimming lessons I get to go for a walk, music lessons etc. Also, I often go out as soon as my husband gets home from work and he takes over cooking the dinner which is a big help.

Don’t be disheartened. There will always be weeks when the loss is big and then the next week, it will be small. I am having a small loss week as well this week. Enjoy the last few days with your husband.

Ffaster – I can totally relate. I’m so used to relaxing with a glass of red in the evenings. I now drink loads of water at night and I no longer think about having a glass of wine. I think it was the sugar in the wine that I was addicted to.

Went to the theatre last night so treated myself to a glass of vino.

Morning.
Well after seeing off what turned out to be a rather stressful and emotional week and got rid of period i am back to report in for day 1 of week 3.
Only lost 300g last week. Not surprised or disappointed actually. Just glad it was a downward trend. Fell off the wagon a fair bit if the truth be told. Other half has gone back to work so can get back to my routine.
Another thing i noticed was that my usual comfort foods did not satisfy me the way they used to. In fact they would leave me feeling a bit yuck.
So after two weeks on BSD i have lost 2.8kg.
JMG – your commit to exercise is to be commended. Only in my dreams. ……

A weekend of eating out – dinner on Friday with other mothers, dinner at a friend’s place on Saturday and Father’s Day on Sunday. Plenty of exercise though so happy with that.

Well done on your 2.8kg Caro. It is good to see the scales moving downwards. I hope you have a good week being back in routine.
I find the same thing with all my old snack foods – I don’t get as much satisfaction out of eating them anymore. Even the chocolate yesterday did not taste as good as usual.

Not a great week with lots of eating out. The next two weeks are much quieter socially so I should be able to stay on task more easily.

Well done, JULIEAA! Look forward to your posts.

Eating out is a killer for me this week too. This is the downside of traveling anywhere….. especially NYC filled with pizza shops, cheesecake, and junk food joints at every street corner. It was crazy last night at The US open with Djokavich having his 2nd game with a retired player. So odd! i never seen that before, especially with Frenchman Tsonga.

I seem to munch and munch when sitting all day watching tennis matches. Atleast it is not munching on pizza and junk food. I hit the champagne bar instead at Ashe Stadium and japanese/korean food nearby.

Keep it up!

Live Long And Prosper!

Hi JMG.
You are still doing well. Very committed. I have lost 3.5kg so far coming up to the end of week 5. Happy with that considering no exercise. Haven’t counted calories or carbs for a week – husband was home again. I think the lessons learned are portion sizes matter and I don’t need as much food on my plate as I thought I did. And processed carbs were really setting me back. I make sure my plate is dominated by vegetables now.
Caro

Hey Caro,

Nice to hear from you! 3.5kg is great! Well done. I am surprised at how little I eat now and feel very satisfied. When I was surviving on processed carbs and sugar, I was constantly hungry and dissatisfied.

I seem to have hit a plateau so I am going to look at my carbs and make sure that I am not eating too many.
