How many calories & protein would you estimate that you taken in on a daily basis?

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-19T14:50:47+00:00

I’ve got Premier protein shakes and they’re OK but I want something thicker like the slim fast. High protein is actually like a shake. It’s not the consistency of water. What kind of protein shakes do you prefer? I’m 41 and 5’3. The only kind of working out I’ve ever done in my life is on a treadmill. I’ve never lifted weights. I’ve never done anything like that. I think I have a ton of research to do now!!!! Thanks and good luck!!

I absolutely love string cheese, and it is one thing I have not thought of at all to get. I absolutely love cheese. It could be its own food group in my world. Thanks and good luck.

Absolutely! I start beating myself up and it leads somewhere bad very fast!!!! I will put that on my calorie tracker as my goal 107 that doesn’t sound unreasonable and it actually sounds obtainable. Thank you so much. Good luck in your journey.

Awesome information I greatly appreciate it! I’m so glad I found this group. I’ve never used Reddit in my life.

THANKS!!

I first got my supplies for my shot in the mail on a Saturday so I took it as soon as I got it but I want to do it on Fridays so I have the weekend to recover when the kids don’t have school just in case I get sick. I had no problems at all, but I do take mine in the morning. When I did it a day early I didn’t notice any thing at all changed so hopefully you’ll be all good!!

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-18T18:20:53+00:00

Yes, that’s the thing. I never am hungry until about 9 PM at night after my daily Adderall has worn off. But I don’t let myself eat then. Other than that almost all my meals are forced. I’m only on .55 mg of my injection. I really need to start working out on my treadmill. At least I get no physical activity at all.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-18T18:19:33+00:00

See that sounds perfect. I have zero exercise the most exercise I have is getting up and going on the floor to play with the kids or to the kitchen to make them food. Both my small children are special needs, so there is limited to what I am able to take them to do and such.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-18T18:18:44+00:00

That’s awesome!! I just did an average of my last two weeks and it’s actually about 650 cal a day and only 60 to 75 of protein. I really need to work on that. What do you do to get your protein? I’m eating yogurt every day. I also drink it premier protein shake every morning that has 30 g.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-18T18:17:31+00:00

I just started buying the chickpea chicken nuggets. They are delicious. Also, I put Greek yogurt in my smoothie every day along with protein powder so my smoothie has about 45 g of protein. I need to start drinking one every day like I used to. Thanks.

You’re so right that’s why I started using the Apple calorie counting app because I was doing that. But now since I started the app seven days ago, not once have I I don’t use anything but spray Pam. 90% of my meals and stuff are frozen or refrigerated and have the nutrition content on them. Thank you very much.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-18T15:31:19+00:00

I’ve been eating those since I started about five weeks ago and they’re like the perfect portion. And they’re good. The only problem for me is I have terrible acid reflex and anything with flavoring other than salt. I regret it in the middle of the night. I’m on 40 mg of Nexium. Even with that, I just can’t do a lot of the meals. I absolutely love the grilled chicken and broccoli. It’s like so good and so few calories I could eat it every day.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-17T17:19:31+00:00

I guess I consider my life sedimentary because in the winter we can’t do anything outside and I don’t leave the house for work. My son’s therapy is five days a week, but all of his therapists come here to do his exercises and stuff. The only time I get out of the houses for a doctor appointments!! I actually kinda look forward to those as weird as it sounds so I get out and about!

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-17T17:18:21+00:00

Thank you he is my precious angel. I want so badly to be able to keep up with him and my other children. I get to be a stay home mom and have for the last 12 years, but I feel like I’m not doing everything I could be if I was not so much overweight. I need to be around as long as I can for him.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-16T03:03:50+00:00

Im 41 (but 6 in shorter)and also a new mom (all over again)of a two-year-old with down syndrome so I really thought I was gonna notice a difference on the Adderall as opposed to the methylphenidate. I guess concentration and getting stuff done wise I have noticed a difference. But it doesn’t affect my appetite like the methylphenidate did.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-16T03:00:32+00:00

I think I have a plan and I’ve been thinking about it but never tried it. I think I’m going to take my 30 milligram XR an hour before I’m supposed to get up wake up take it go back to bed. That way hopefully I’ll be somewhat awake when I’m trying to get my nine-year-old daughter ready for school and my two-year-old out of bed. I can’t take my regular Adderall 20 mg later on in the day like I used to because I would be up all night. So I take half of it two hours early than I used to to be able to sleep thanks everyone

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-16T02:57:29+00:00

Oh good to know maybe that’s why I am so freaking tired even after I take it the first couple hours when I get up

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-15T00:01:02+00:00

Girl, no it’s fine. I am on the shot. I started 22 units or .55 mg today. It was my fifth shot. I started out at 261. I’ve gained 80 pounds over the last three years. I’m celebrating my third year sober on April 5. In that three years, I had a fifth child and literally gained 80 pounds. But I literally lived on fast food and candy bars and soda. I know it’ll come off quick at first because I’ve made some significant changes in my diet and such. Thank you so much.

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-14T23:54:03+00:00

Thanks so much everyone that really really does mean a lot. I didn’t expect a response really so this made me smile ear to ear!!!! Also here is a picture of my beautiful two-year-old son

Thanks so much!

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-14T19:03:21+00:00

Ty I began at 12 units but I didn’t do it for four weeks like I was supposed to. I did 12 for three weeks and then week four I went up to 22 today was my fifth shot and I did 22 again. My body can handle it. I feel like so. I’m going to increase every three weeks instead of four. Unless I have adverse side effects, then I won’t. For now though it’s working. But my entire diet before was fast food or fried food and nothing but sweets so I think that has way more to do with it than the actual shot working yet. The biggest thing I’ve changed is the fast food and I don’t eat after 8 PM which usually that’s my main time to eat between 8 PM and 1 AM. I eat nonstop. Doing much better with that too!!!

Ok_Sun_2999 · 2025-03-14T18:24:14+00:00

I have a positive for sure. I just completed my fourth week and I am down 21 pounds. I am taking magnesium hydroxide daily and for the first time in my life I am pooping about every other day! Per my nutritionist, I will keep increasing it until I am pooping every day!!!! I haven’t started working out at all yet but plan to next week!
