Has anyone else been sick alot more or just not felt well since starting their weightloss journey?
I eat very well on the Core program, exercise a minimum of 4 times a week for 45 minutes a day with a personal trainer, and still I find myself just plain not feeling well. I have more energy, but I’m sleepy. I can run further, but I fall asleep after my workout (which is bad at work!). I am grossed out by greasy food, but healthy food is still making me gag.
Anyone else or is this just me?
I know my medication has something to do with it. I actually was very ill yesterday afternoon after lunch. I contacted my doctor and she told me to stop taking one of the meds I was taking. After a rather explosive experience with a bodily function when I got home, I deciphered that it was also my lunch that made me ill. Between that and the meds, I was just not doing well.
I’m doing better today, but I’m still a bit off. Understandable, I suppose, but still. I mean, alot has changed. Like, I don’t get headaches anymore. I sleep more fitfully (most nights). However, my back, neck, and shoulders almost always are sore. Like I mentioned, I’m more often sleepy than not. And I don’t always feel like myself.
I’m also very, very tired of the foods I’ve been eating. I am getting desperate for something different. With summer coming, I think it’s time to move away from spinach at every meal and move to salads. However, I still need to get meat in and other vegetables, so I need to look up recipes.
Has anyone tried the making the baked vegetable chips on the Weight Watchers web page? I’ve now tried twice, followed the directions using everything but salt, but for the life of me, I cannot get the vegetables to crisp up. They just shrink and are soft. I’m so frustrated with this recipe! Argh!

I was talking about this last night — my physical changes that go beyond weight loss. I do remember that for about the first two months, I started to wonder if something was wrong because I just could not wake up. My workouts put me to sleep. They didn’t just leave me winded or physically tired, I mean I could not stay awake. I backed off the exercise a little and gave in a few times to the urge to sleep — maybe this gave my body a chance to catch up and rebuild itself, because now the desire to sleep for fifteen hours a day has passed, in spite of the fact that I’m more active now than I was then.
I also remember that during that week or two when I let up on the exercise and gave in to sleep, I craved tuna and eggs like nobody’s business — I figured my body wanted more protein, so I went ahead and ate tuna and eggs like they were going out of style.

Thank you so much! I’d have been faffing around for ages trying to figure that weight ticker out
I hope you are feeling better, All those things (and at once!) does not sound very nice at all.
