I was on it for a couple of months a few years ago and, if it hadn't been making a huge difference to my health, I would have not been able to stand the side effects.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-41276559303283223222014-09-10T18:13:58.280-04:002014-09-10T18:13:58.280-04:00Hi there.

Pain or pounds?)I'm off the steroids now, but I'm left with a thick and fluffy waist. I would have been okay with some more boobage and a bit more junk in my trunk. Alas, nothing I made this summer that wasn't free flowing or had an elastic waist fit. Last night, I resigned myself that the weight is going to be around for a while, so I may as well embrace it, even though I am on a new regime of exercise and eating cleaner.Thank goodness for knits and wrap dresses. Maybe tonight, I'll take my actual measurements.Auset's Stitched Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924962703801889913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-22502382774504958452014-09-10T02:23:27.243-04:002014-09-10T02:23:27.243-04:00No idea.

One of the people who does it at the same time looks fantastic and says he started about a year ago, and only does 2/week so maybe there will be some leeway there.

It takes so much time, Laura. I mean, I am enjoying it much more than I thought I would and I really appreciate how much better I'm feeling, but one imagines that you just keep on. I mean, I did more yoga than this in my twenties, but I didn't have all of the life responsibilities that I currently manage. I guess we'll just have to see. Do you think it's sustainable for you?K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-46066984394337335002014-09-09T21:38:27.885-04:002014-09-09T21:38:27.885-04:00I agree, I'm not the kind of person who should...I agree, I'm not the kind of person who should weigh herself. If I did, I'd probably check every 3 minutes and wonder why the scale wasn't changing. And really, it's not a meaningful marker for the person trying to lose a few pounds. Far better to assess how the clothes fit.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-72516086707986170882014-09-09T21:37:13.400-04:002014-09-09T21:37:13.400-04:00Ah, bags of cookies.

I do have a post coming up in which I discuss how I too have given up wheat in the last month (for a very strange reason). I wonder to what extent it's having an impact. I don't see as much of a correlation as you do, but I shouldn't discount the impact. I know many others who concur with you.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-49747575511257157722014-09-09T21:32:39.318-04:002014-09-09T21:32:39.318-04:00It's very useful to weigh yarn - much more use...It's very useful to weigh yarn - much more useful than weighing yourself :-) And let's not assume there will be new bras!

I seem to have lost about an inch in my waist. My body mass had gone up by about 2 kg, although to be honest I didn't really track it that closely. <br /><br />Sounds like you're going in the right direction. How are you planning to sustain this? I'm hoping the social aspect of the workouts will keep me interested for the long run.<br />Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123921802204398237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-43293238172503113052014-09-09T09:47:25.197-04:002014-09-09T09:47:25.197-04:00"Sidebar: I find it hilarious that I will not..."Sidebar: I find it hilarious that I will not weigh myself (because I find it without merit) but I weigh my yarn obsessively. Obsessively."<br />And that is exactly why it is a good thing you don't measure yourself. <br /><br />It's something I wish my husband would listen to me about. His body is totally changing - much less belly fat but his shoulders/arms bulk up pretty easily with muscles. So he is unhappy when the scale is the same or a half pound up on any given day. It's not until he gets dressed that he comments on how it's nice to fit into his "thin" shirts and he had to buy smaller shorts. That's way more important in my mind.Seraphinalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706215125457113080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-59024369854729189692014-09-09T07:24:10.644-04:002014-09-09T07:24:10.644-04:00Yes, I'm in a new regime as well.

Not a good regime, especially in light of the fact that I out on weight fast, that I am overflowing at the waist band of my pants and my bras are fitting a bit snuggly. It's time for me to hit a gym and cut the many cookies. A forty minute walk with the dog each day is not cutting it! But, reading about your yoga regime keeps me hopeful that I will get into a groove again ...

I also was suffering sleep problems etc and it all added up to giving up wheat. What a revolution for me. Exercise is becoming fun - eating is no longer my favourite pastime and people are finally starting to notice something is different about me. I fit all those clothes that were 2 sizes to small and still losing it - all for giving up wheat. Best thing is what it has done for me mentally - clear thinking and much less depressed.jacquiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01877759444999296777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-80291806047506186732014-09-08T23:29:44.234-04:002014-09-08T23:29:44.234-04:00I love that weigh your yarn.

This means prioritizing workouts -- especially, it means running earlier than I might want to some days, and doing an afternoon yoga class at least once a week because mornings are no longer available. . . materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-85901075952515094832014-09-08T22:22:27.021-04:002014-09-08T22:22:27.021-04:00I've been running for 6 weeks on top of cyclin...I've been running for 6 weeks on top of cycling to work. My weight has remained the same but my legs are stronger. As I force myself to stand straight when I run, my posture is improving which is a good thing since I don't want to end up looking at my toes like some of my older female relatives (and I slouch already). Next step is to add strength training when cycling tapers off over the next few weeks.<br />Susanmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13001612540970050334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-40418891649599907172014-09-08T20:33:14.431-04:002014-09-08T20:33:14.431-04:00I would love to do yoga, but here in smallcolleget...I would love to do yoga, but here in smallcollegetownland, that's not an option (and I cannot do DVDs in my small Victorian home--no room/privacy).
