A nutritionist may also be helpful. They should suggest you get hormone levels checked as well. They will also thoroughly look not just at the foods you are eating but how you feel throughout the day & about your digestive health. Well worth the investment.

I turned on auto-pilot, perhaps I did not give myself enough calories, and my body was in a bit of a panic. Thus far the scale is inching backward, but boy do I have to keep an eye on those weekends! The extra 500 calories may make that easier.

I didn’t catch if you were exercising? Short Higher Intensity Interval Training works much better than cardio for weight loss my 2c

Hi Valdus- The auto-pilot feature is very popular and can help you reach your goals on your timeline. Yes! weekends can be tough. Have you tried pre-logging on weekends? Essentially mapping out your meals and snacks ahead of time in the app, so you aren't surprised at the end of the day. Thinking ahead and developing a bit of a schedule on the weekends can help you stay within your budget. You've got this! Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

What do I have to post, a graph, a report, what? to check to make sure I a on track?

I have autopilot on, just had a party on Sunday and want some reassurance. What do I look at to make sure everything is a-ok?

Dietician 07/27/21 replied to Valdus
Hi Valdus-

How is the weight loss going for you? Has the scale moved below 260#? Are you meeting your protein goals each day? Are you meeting your calorie goals each day (besides Sunday with the party). Hitting these metrics and checking your progress on the scale will help you to know if you are on track. Losing weight can be a long process. The good new is one day of overeating won't erase all of your hard work! Remember, it's all about progress not perfection.

Best, Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

I feel your pain. Right there with you my friend. Had hip replacement in May, battling with fatigue from RA and OA. Do I need to say Prednisone is a dieters nightmare. Let’s team up and hold each other accountable. We can do this 1 pound at a time. I need to loose 56 lbs.
