losing 0.5 lb a week

well Im back again after having a very bad summer last summer. I have RLS and the Dr could not get it under control. I was on a ton of medications and they didn't work. They worked very well to make me gain weight. I couldn't exercise. Even if I could exercise, I would not have been able to exercise away the 20lb weight gain. I was beyond depressed. Well at last the Dr took me off the ineffective medicine and started me on something that worked. I saw a counselor that gave me a diet aid. Now Im down 34 lbs but still too heavy. I lost that weight by going to a bariatric clinic for medical weight loss. Now for the summer I am in Illinois and started at another weight loss clinic. I need outside support to stay on track. I won't do the liquid diet, I can't, I've tried them. So the dietitian worked out a diet plan for me. Seems at my age I only need 1200 calories a day. Also older women do not process carbohydrates well so I am eating protein, vegetables and some fruit (berries). My sister is on a similar diet and it is working for her.
I read somewhere that if you (I) are not willing to make the changes to your diet that are necessary to lose weight then you (I) should re-evaluate your desire to lose weight.... that has made me stop and think about giving up some of the food I was eating. I knew I shouldn't be drinking wine every night or eating the diet ice cream bar, but it was good. It is a choice. I really don't need the wine and if I have to have an ice cream bar I am happy with half.

went to the city yesterday with husband and had a very nice lunch with husband. I did very good at staying on track but chose to go off a little because it was a very nice gift.

I got a lot of support from fellow Low carb life style folks and the comments were very reassuring. I really do thank you all for your comments. It seems high fat, low car and moderate protein diets get a lot of criticism, so to hear from folks that hare choosing this way of life and having success is great. I listened to a woman talk about emotional eating. She said for thousands of years we have lived with food scarcity and just in the last 100 years or less we have an abundance of food. People have survived with very limited carbs available for centuries. I just have to keep reminding myself that sugar/starch/flour is poisin to my body. I am glad to find this group for support. Thank you

Ok I have tried about a dozen different diets this summer. I am sure that all of them would have worked but I couldn't comit to them. I have simply avoided what I have to do and that is to exercise. I have had health issues making it very difficult to exercise. The next thought would be to watch what I eat more closely. Well really there is about a million different ideas on weight loss so I never knew which one to believe. I would start Optifast in the morning, then by noon doing Weight Watchers and at night simply throw in the towel and go into emotional eating---which felt good temporarly. Well I know what I have to do. I have metabolic syndrome which is a sure sign that I have to give up or cut back on carbs, the love of my life! By eventing on a low/moderate intake of carbs "diet" I would head to the kitchen and eat ice cream for fear I would b e unhealthy if if didn't get more carbs! So at least now I am comitting to restrict my carb intake to under 50 just for today.----then maybe I will comit again tomorrow. I have to be honest with myself that the high starch foods are not for me anymore. Throught the years my body has changed and I don't need that kind of food (starch and sugar). I do need meat, healthy fat and vegetables. I can do this.
There is a woman at the gym that was asked how she lost so much weight, she did not have much weight to lose. Her response was I eat fat! She said that she is now eating fat and exercises only 2-3 days a week and she has lost weight! Sounds Paleo, or Ketogenc to me.
