***Monday Bites, Vites & Exercites***

Noreen,

Do you know how many calories you eat a day?  Rough estimate?

Do you work out? 

I'm looking at your food list... then I look at your current weight... then I look at how much you've lost.... and I'm wondering how I can be more like you.  Any weight loss secrets you can pass on?

hey there jashley

my secret?  none really.  i don't count calories.  my first and second year i counted carbs.  first year i listened to the vets here and  tried very very hard not to have any carbs.  second year i started introducing complex carbs ie., veggies and some fruit.  stayed under 55 grams each day. 

today, i am mindful of simple carbs (can you tell chocolate/candy is my kryptonite?) don't let my long food list that fool you into thinking i eat a lot.  most portions are very small, so i rely on protein shakes and coffees to get in my desired protein count.

i dont work out the proper way.  mostly i walk.  if my weight moves up 3 lbs, i cut back on the carbs and off come the pounds.  see, no secrets. 

p.s.  i get such a tickle out of your posts.  you have a great sense of humor.  thanks for the smile on this end. 

Thanks for answering my questions. 

Glad you did explain the long food list.  I was having serious envy reading your menus.

Ah, shucks.    Your welcome for the smiles.  :-)

I hope I do not dread the chinese food tomorrow morning. I looked it up online for generic garlic chicken and it only had 9 carbs and good protein. *CROSSING FINGERS*

I hope the Chinese food played well with others too. Many Chinese dishes are DS friendly.  : )

So far so good! I figure if it were going to get me it would have already had me LOL
