POLL~~~~ Come out come out where ever you are

Where is everyone? Post holiday hibrenation? Me included. I have been lurking but just not in the posting mood. If you are lurking, please post just to say hello and let me know what's up. The board seems so slow we need some action! So here is my poll. Are you here? What does your food intake look like each day? How many calories (approx) are you eating? Where are you in terms of weight loss? ~ Lowest, still losing, gaining, maintaining? How much can you eat at one sitting? Love and miss you all! God Bless! jen

Are you here? Yes, almost daily lurking and always in spirit! What does your food intake look like each day? B- coffee and protein S- veggies, fruit, cheese L- grain, protein S- veggies, grain, fruit D- protein, veggie, starch S- popcorn and sf popsicles - almost every night! How many calories (approx) are you eating? Back on track - I think about 1500 - 1800. I am still breastfeeding also Where are you in terms of weight loss? ~ Lowest, still losing, gaining, maintaining? Last month I ate so much was actually up a bit after holding steady at 209 for months, yikes!!!! I am back on track and losing ~~~finally. Lost some weight last week - whew, it is still possible. I posted last week that I joined a bible study to focus on "Christ First" it is a "diet" plan. I modified the plan to fit the RNY life and am doing good. How much can you eat at one sitting? I tested this yesterday ~ I ate one cup (not packed) of brown rice and about 2 oz of a crustless quice in one sitting and felt comfortable/full. If I drink and eat together - the sky is the limit probably 2 cups easily of food. Gotta stop that drinking! Have a great Thursday!

Hey all -- I'm still here. I lurk constantly but hardly ever post. Life is so crazy hectic that there's no time in my days sometimes. My girls are keeping me hopping. My oldest is in the process of being evaluated to neurosurgery for her epilepsy, the wintertime cold-flu thing ha**** my house HARD, and I've started back to school to obtain Master's. All on top of working full-time. What does your food intake look like each day? B- Usually a protein shake (currently the Micellar Milk) S - Beef jerky L - chicken salad or something similar S - beef jerky or nuts D - regular -- try to balance out with protein first. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I always get my liquids in and have a healthy dose of coffee each day just to get through the day. I've actually tracked my calories in Fitday to see how much I'm eating and I average somewhere between 1100 and 1400 calories per day. Where are you in terms of weight loss? ~ Lowest, still losing, gaining, maintaining? I'm not at my lowest (that was about 155 after my LBL), but I'm maintaining around 160-165 without much effort. I'd like to get down to 150, which has been my goal all along, but if that doesn't happen, I'm good with where I'm at. How much can you eat at one sitting? This depends on what I'm eating and if I'm drinking with it. If I don't drink, then somewhere between 3/4 to 1 and 1/2 cups total. Less if it's dense or high protein, more if it's slider carbs.

Are you here? I'm here!!! Taking a study break!!! I'm soooo sick of classes and I have 14 weeks left before a 3 week break, blech!!! What does your food intake look like each day? I've been all over the place actually...from eating crap all day, to eating nothing all day until dinner (yeah bad i know), to eating 'good', and now I'm trying to just eat chicken breast all day long lol. How many calories (approx) are you eating? On ave. I think I get at least 1200. That's a maintaining one for me I think, or used to be... but depends on if I work out etc. Where are you in terms of weight loss? ~ Lowest, still losing, gaining, maintaining? I am losing right now... I finally hit my lowest/normal goal weight today, 138, but now I want to get to 130. We'll see. If I can stay anywhere in the 130s I think I'll be just fine!!! How much can you eat at one sitting? Sometimes I can eat quite a bit I think. I guess pretty much what a 'normal' person eats... I know with this binder on though my stomach has been hurting way more like just after surgery... think that would be a hint but.... Renee

I am here, I am here. I try to post, but don't always succeed. Good questions. I am trying to get on a regular eating schedule, It would really help with my weight I am sure. I try to focus on protein and veggies. I need to get that in shape as well as my schedule. I am not real sure what I eat as far as calories, I need to get back on fitday again. I am kind of like everyone else. It varies on what I am eating. I don't drink with my meals, I have a problem with not stopping long enough before eating and starting to drink again to soon after. I am working at getting back down. Not to my lowest, but down a few more pounds. Do I sound like a canidate for back to basics? I just need to get my life in order.
