More to lose... Monday's Game Plan

Good morning!! Yesterday was pretty good, although I must admit to eating too many South Beach oatmeal cookies. I think I need to lay off the South Beach snacks. The calories add up just like the regular stuff.

Wow Denise Congrats on the Carbs and Protein....those numbers are really good. I have good news, I weighed in this morning at 178.5 that's a total of 4.5 pounds since you started the thread...I was at 183. You know what I'm happy with a slow loss because at this point I don't want to lose to fast and get any more loose skin. Today's plan: 4:45 am Protica Protein (25) only 2.9oz of liquid. 5:00 2.5 Turkey Sausage 1/2 Slice Cinnamon Toast (I think the timing of the protein this morning made me fuller, so I ended up not eating all my breakfast) 10:00 Dannon Yogurt Smoothie 11:45 4.5 oz Chicken Breast 2oz Veggies 3:30 Extreme Protein Smoothie (35) 6:30 Red Beans, w Lean Ground Beef and Okra Snack Not added to calorie total, I plan not to have a snack, but if I must, I'll do the Protica Protein it adds 100cal, 0 carb/fat and 25 protein Calories 1130 Fat 36 Carbs 48 Protein 149 w/ Protica Snack Calories 1230 Fat 36 Carbs 48 Protein 174 Exercise Walking

Hey good moring, Teah!! Congratulations on your weight loss. You go girl!!! I know how you feel about losing slow. I'm content with going slow too... I also have come to grips with my ultimate goal, which is 170, the same as my doctor's goal for me. Originally I wanted to go to 140, but I know I won't have plastic surgery and I'd rather have a few lbs. to hold up my skin. So far, my skin is okay, except there's a little skin under my chin, my stomach has a small apron forming and if I go to 140, this may be a problem. I read posts about folks having aprons that share space with their thighs in their undergarments. I'm not trying to go there!! I peaked at your pictures. You look wonderful, Lady Teah. Keep up the good work!! Thanks for hanging in there on the "More to lose" train!! Have a good day....

Thanks Denise, I seriously need to update my pictures, those are from December 2004 and I think I was about 214. I was also noticing a little something on my chin too and believe me I feel you on the skin thing, I wasn't planning on PS either, but I would definitely consider at least a breastlift if nothing else, everything else I can live with. Being where I am now I can fit into a size 10 very comfortably. I want to look slim but not sickly. Have a great one and thanks again for getting us back on track, I feel healthier and more energetic. Teah

Teah, congratulations on your weight loss!! Keep up the good work!!! Hugs, Nancy

Hi girls! OK, confession time. Yesterday I didn't log on to fitday.com and I ate anything I wanted and didn't exercise. When I weighed this morning I was 176. I'm getting back on track today - already did my WATP 2 miles for Abs - will do another 2 miles later. I'm going to incorporate a scoop of Unjury to my menu plan to help boost the protein. When I was on Weigh****chers, they used to tell you to eat high calories one day, then low the next few days and that would help jumpstart a loss. Well I'm going to try that. Since I KNOW I ate high yesterday, I'm going low today, and see what happens. Here's my plan for today: B: WW Flakes & Fiber, 1/2 scoop Unjury in lemonade S: SF Popsicle L: Boca Burger, hard boiled egg S: carb fix pretzels D: Diet Coke chicken with a green salad and balsamic vinegar, 1/2 scoop Unjury S: 1 cup 1% cottage cheese Totals: Calories: 786 Carbs: 32 Protein: 114 Water: at least 80 oz. Exercise: 2 sessions of WATP 2 mile walk Hey, I'm not about to give up - I've come too far. When I was 'indulging' myself yesterday, some of the stuff might have tasted good, but I really didn't feel good about myself. I knew I was going back to some bad behaviors - guess I have to work on that... Thanks to all of you for your support!! Hugs, Nancy 280/176/155
