Post your diet and workout plans here

I've fallen so far off the wagon. Haven't worked out in almost a month. Sleeping six hours a night. Comfort eating. Basically trying to destroy my body as fast as I can.

Sorry, Jay. Maybe you are like me in that spring will help to get you back on track.

My wife started overeating about 3 years ago and just quit taking care of herself. We have tried just about everything from meds to diet but last month it reached a point that she decided she needed help so next week we're flying to Mexico for gastric surgery for her (1/3 of the cost as our insurance won't cover it).

Good luck!

After my knee replacement I lost a quick 5 lbs just because I didn't feel like eating. Once my appetite came back I couldn't get enough food in me and gained 10lb over the holidays. It didn't help that I couldn't work out during this time. Since the first of the year I've taken off 9 of those ten pounds. Just cutting down on the amount I was eating and being able to work out has done it. I did 7 miles on my skis Saturday and 7.5 on Sunday, it felt good to just be tired and not hurt by the time I was done.

This sounds very dangerous.

We're not having it done in a shit hole like Utah Valley.

There are times in life where you don't want to always go with the low bidder. This is one of those cases.

We're probably just going to have one of the fruit vendors on the highway do it.

That's why I never understand these strange diets. A friend was doing that paleo stuff because he wanted to lose weight. He's explaining this laundry list of all the crap he can and can't eat, and I said "just eat fewer calories." He was pretty convinced on this thing though.

Of course it's just calories in minus calories out that will determine weightloss. But some people (me) don't have the discipline to count calories. Whole 30 helped me because I didn't need to strictly count calories because the stuff I was allowed to eat filled me up and wouldn't put me in a positive calorie position for the day...especially when coupled with exercise. I have no illusion that Whole 30 is a permanent lifestyle change for me. I've already gone back to normal foods. But maintaining is far easier than losing obviously.

if the surgeon offers to make you a deal on some ponchos or a bob marley blanket, make sure that you bargain with him.

Hey I got me a good root canal in Mexico. Believe me, it was a mere fraction of what I would have paid at a regular dentist's office.

Man, I got the coolest poncho at Teotihuacan. I still have it. I think I paid $4. I especially loved the guy who sold it to me. Kept calling to me "eh gordo, ven pa' ca". I couldn't resist.

I heard St. John's wart helps with post-op infections.

I am being completely sincere. I have relatives with horror stories about cut-rate Mexican surgery, but I imagine there are plenty of success cases. I hope everything goes well for your wife.

Hard to tell most of the time. Your sincerity is noted.

The bottom line is that while medical tourism may work great for some health problems, bariatric surgery is probably not one of them.

Yikes.
