Reporting in for sunday

Hi Joanne, I am about to go to bed on Sunday night and thought I would post before I did. I have been perfect all day, today. B-protein shake L-protein shake d-bowl of cream of tomato soup s-yogurt. lots of water and only two coffees today I weighed myself and am only down a pound in the week. Oh well, thats my body for you. I have only cheated a couple of times and then not so bad, I mean cherries can only be so bad and I only had a dozen or so. I will keep at it though because I havnt really lost any weight doing anything else for months. I hope ev eryone else does really well. Ill let you know the final weigh in tomorrow night. Good luck everyone hugs from down under Helen

Helen, It is so nice to get up and someone has actually posted!!! Wahoo!!! A lb. off is a lb gone. Make sure you are getting in enough calories or your body will go into starvation mode and hold weight. I aim for 1000- 1200 a day. I know it is hard to beleave that if you eat more you will lose more but it is true. Confuse the body by eating more or less each day instead of the same calories. Do you mix your shake with milk? If not your calories have to be low. I mix my shake with F/F milk and add F/F milk to my cream soup too. It gives you added calories and protein. This is what I ate yesterday. 4c. of decafe coffee,3c of decafe green tea. Breakfast: Protein Shake. Snack: V-8. Lunch : Protein Shake. Snack: V-8. Dinner: Cream of mushroom soup. Snack: yogurt for a totol of: 1050 calories, 80g. of protein and 104 oz of water. My tea and coffee count as water because they are decafe. I use 12oz. mugs. Can't wait to hear results tomorrow. Only a few people are posting so I don't know how all is doing yet. Hopefully all will post tomorrow with weight loss or results for the week. Good luck and always remember you are not alone in this battle. See you lighter. Joanne

Have you weighed yourself for the end of the week, Joanne. How did you go? I saw my nut today and she says since my loss has been so slow I have to up my dense protein and exercise. So although I am not going to be on the same challenge as you all,. I am going to keep challenging myself and reporting in each day, to keep me on the straight and narrow. I hope I havnt let anyone down by now keeping to the liquids etc but I feel I have to do what my nut tells me, cos I am terrified of not losing any more weight. Let me know how you go. hugs, Helen

Helen, I weighted myself this a.m. and I am down to 228lbs, I weighted 245lb last week but remember I had gained 13 lbs. I took off the 13lbs + 4 more. I am very happy with the results. Please don't ever think that we would be disappointed in you for anything. We are all in this journey together. You must do as your Dr. tells you first!!!! Keep posting so we will know if what she advised you is working. Good luck!!! See you lighter. Joanne

Hi Everyone, Well, I weighed in today and I'm down 2.6 pounds!!! I'm ecstatic cause I'm a S-L-O-O-O-W loser too. I weighed in today cause I'm going to a STEELER football party today and I know I wont be able to stay on liquids. My daughter is making me things that I can eat in week 2 so I should be okay just a day early. I feel like you do Helen, it's been so long since I lost any weight that it feels wonderful! I also think having the support has helped me stay focused. It's so easy for me to just give in and then give up. Talk to you guys tomorrow. Week 1 start 219.6 -- end 217.0 loss of 2.6 GO STEELERS! Jackie

Jackie, Congradulations. Week #1 and down 2.6 lbs. Great,Great, Great!!!! I must say I love that scales. The best of luck to you on week #2. Hope you had a good time tonight. See you lighter. Joanne
