Frequent headaches

I DID NOT do any exercise during my weight loss. I only started exercising
about 2 1/2 months ago to reshape my abs, butt and thighs. I've lost all
the weight I safely can (I weigh 108 pounds and wear a size 1) so I had no
choice. I hate it but I'm getting results so will continue.

Hmmm. Interesting. I stopped losing weight at 40 gms/day. I was
thinking, for me, maybe 40 would BE maintainance...?
So, I dropped back to 20 a week ago. But, I was already having the
headaches, even at 40. So...if I have to go to 45 to stop the
headaches...Im afraid my weight loss will also stop, altogether.

I bet you get a LOT more exercise than I do. (the average paraplegic
gets more exercise than I do!)

Im starting to think...I probably just need to get offa my butt and JUST
DO IT, like the Nike commercial says. If I up my carbs AND seriously UP
my ex., that will be the winning combo.

Much as I hate it....(WHY do I hate it so much???) Im just gonna have to
do it. Clearly, if I stop losing weight at 40 gms, BUT have
headaches...and if I need 45 to make the headaches stop....the only
other factor is the ex. right? There's just no getting around it. (and
god knows, Ive TRIED!)

Ive got a bad attitude aout exercise.I didnt used to, but I do, now.
Believe it or not, there was a time when I walked 6 miles to the gym,
worked out for an hour and a half and walked back home five times a
week!

But that was then...and this is now...

I gotta get a new 'tude.

I feel like Im between a rock and a hard place, you know? It just
depressed the [censored] outa me to see that scale say the same damn thing
week after week!

I hear ya! I think I've gone 6-8 weeks without losing anything and
there was no apparent reason for it. My body DID do some rearranging
during that time, though -- it was like it couldn't handle multi-tasking
and was saying to me: "LOOK, you want I should lose weight but look the
same, or you want I should take a breath or two and do a little
assessment and tailoring before I start back up? What am I saying?
*I'M* the one who decides what *I* want I should do! YOU just treat me
right and I'll THINK about letting go of some of that weight."

What can I say, my body talks :-)

The headaches may be totally unrelated to the carb level. Is there some
kind of food that you eat now that you didn't when you weren't low-
carbing? Maybe you have a sensitivity to it (particularly if it's
something artificial, such as Splenda or aspartame).

When I had gastric bypass about 6 months ago I had to stop coffeee
abruptly due to being clear liquids the first 10 days. Imagine being
post op, dizzy, feeling like [censored] anyway and then giving up your
beloved coffee!! That was the roughest week. Then when I went to puree
food for 3 months, I tried my coffee for a few mornings and it didint
taste right because I gave up the real cream and only put a tiny shake
of powdered creamer in it. My ketosis was so bad that it made the
splenda based Davinci SF carmel syrup taste icky too. I truly mourned
my coffee. I gave up coffee for a couple months. I really missed it and
I am now back in the groove but I only do 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup so my
mind doesnt detox from it <laughing>

I always get real bad headaches when I give up caffeine. At first I was
confusing it with eliminating carbs but later found that cutting the coffee
was doing it. When I switch to decaf now I do it gradually.

ROFL! Saffire...your body talks, TOO????
I thought it was just ME! Mine says, "Hey, hey HEY! Whaddaya want from
me? You spent 55 years giving me everything I wanted....now you give me
20, 30 crummy gms of carbs a day AND NO SUGAR and expect me to NOT
give you a headache? HAH!"

Seriously....I hadnt thought about the possibility it might be the
Splenda. That def IS a new thing, for me. Oh, [censored]!

Man..I hope that isnt it. I like Splenda!
I'd hate to have to give it up....snif...poor me....sniff....

Thanks for shining the light in that direction, tho---it really hadnt
occured to me.
