Lost Four Pounds This Week

Well, I guess everyone is pretty busy, because I've been visiting, but there haven't been any posts. Anyway, I've been good this week, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning. I'm planning on having a nice bowl of strawberries (3 or 4), with 1/2 shredded wheat broken up over 1/2 cup of plain yogurt. Grace

Grace Congrats on the 4 lbs. I guess that 4-5 lbs will probably wind up being the average weight loss. So far as of this morning I have lost 5 lbs. When are we supposed to weigh ourselves officially? Is it tomorrow? Now I am just hoping that by my anniversary I can lose another 5-10 lbs. It was a nice surprise to see that the scale has begun to move again. My scale has NOT moved since June 1. The scale is probably in shock too! Hugs Marianne

Hey Marianne! Congrats to you!! I think this will be the average, but I just don't know if that's weekly, biweekly or what. I'm just glad to know it can be done. It's nice to see the scale moving again. I couldn't resist. I was on the scale yesterday too. Grace

Hello again Grace I must admit I TOO weighed myself yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that. You see, I weigh myself pretty much everyday (I know some may think this is not a good idea) because this is how I keep myself from gaining. I find that before one pound becomes a gain of 5 I keep on top of things and know that if it looks like I gained a pound or two then I must have either not drank enough water, had too much in the way of salt, or I just may have eaten something that may have been a little heavier on my pouch than I should have had--not that it's bad for me, but sometimes foods can react on individuals differently. Anyway, I hope that tomorrow will continue to be an exciting one. You know, I think we should make this a weekly weigh in on this thread...what do you say?? Hugs Marianne

That's a little bit of Weigh****chers on the web, and I'm for it! If others are for it, we could have some internet accountability on the board. I'll see you this time next week! Grace

Hey Grace, I'm so glad to hear you lost 4 lbs this week I don't know what the heck is wrong with me but I slowed down at five months out and this last month I gained 7 lbs!!!!!! What the heck is going on I need help fast!!! Give me some samples of what your daily food intake is please. Thanks Tina

Hi Tina, I just get waaay down to the basics. I have fallen off the wagon, but fortunately, when I see I've slipped, I can start all over again. Here's my day: Breakfast - Coffee, 30 minutes later, protein drink, vitamins, water lunch - Turkey, 2 slices of swiss cheese, spinach leaves, rolled up with a splattering of mustard; water. Snack - protein drink, vitamins, 30 minutes later, a crunch bar, water Dinner - Whateveer I'm feeling like, but making sure the skin is off, it's not cooked in butter, etc (no rice for me, though. Still makes me sick) Snack - crunch bar Bedtime - Protein drink, vitamins, crunch bar, water That's it! Grace

Hi Grace, Just curious here, when you say you have a crunch bar, is that a specific type of protein bar? And when you have turkey at lunch, how much are you eating? Thanks for your posts! I'm really trying to do better this week, thanks to your challenge! Tonya 368/208/? -160lbs

yummy can I come over for breakfast? Congrats on the 4 pound loss. Shannon

I love having my strawberry and shredded wheat breakfast, sometimes I have it for lunch or dinner instead! I keep it down to small bowls(they're hugh), because it's easy to get carried away, and I'm not affected by the sweetness. It's very filling, too! Grace
