Gee I think I did something wrong...

Last Tuesday I was weighed  not one of the things I like to do and was told I had lost 12 pounds since the last time....well On Saturday I got weighed again and the arch enemy scale said I have lost another 3 pounds. PLease explain to me how I am able to do this when I have been a naughty girl...been not getting my protein in and I have been crunching on hicama...

Jicama is a fairly low calorie veggie.  I have never looked up the nutrient info but I am sure it is not too high in anything except maybe carbs.  Your body will meet it's protein needs even if it has to use muscle to do it.  Obviously you are eating fewer calories than your body needs.  Congrats on the loss though.

I'm glad you cleared that up because I was thinking what the heck is hicama/jicama whatever.  Obviously veggies are not my strong point!  Now, if it would have been a brand of chocolate..I would have been all over that! LOL!

I never knew it existed until I  was asked to buy it for a dinner party that I was catering...The funny part is I didnt even know how to spell it...So I was looking for anything that ended with ma in it..

I do about a 1000 calories a day and I burn them off quick...Some days I have to increase my protein alot just cause I feel dizzy...you would thing 125 grams a day would be enough

Jicama is a VERY low carb veggie...for 1 cup of slices, it is 46 cals, 11 g carb, 6 g fiber, and 1 g protein.  I loooove using the stuff on wraps for an added crunch...gotta have that crunch sometimes, ya know!

Oh, and I have learned, naughty sometimes doesnt mean squat.  Sometimes I find that if I am REALLY good, little to no carbs, high protein, good liquids, etc, my body hates it and keeps EVERY ounce on my hips.  BUUUUUUT, let me have just ONE fried Oreo, and off comes 4 lbs.  (NOTE:  While I highly recommend trying a deep fried, batter dipped Oreo ONCE in your life, I do NOT recommend it as a weight loss device...trust me...pre-op, I tried, and, well, not so much) Also, are you running around like a madwoman while eating your jicama?  Hmmm??????

I work in a high pace enviroment now and I am on always on the go...
Plus I work two jobs and little time for munching on anything that isnt good for me....

omg a fried oreo?i have to tell you that any kind of oreo sounds good right now!!

Honey, honey...is there ever a time an Oreo DOESN'T sound good?  lol

Pattye,

you're losing weight becasue although you're a "naughty" girl...sometimes they are some of the best winners in history...  remember this from the old saying "Well behaved women rarely make history"....you my dear, are destined for something great....
