Menus and Miles Saturday August 15th

Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!   Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!     

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES  during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this:  I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!!  I have IC (Irritable Bladder Syndrome) and I can only have them while I'm not having a flare up.   It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Morning!!!!!  I'm back in my "Happy Range"...YEAH!!!  I looked back at my Menus and saw that I wasn't eating much and I knew I had added in some carbs that I wasn't posting so I needed to take control.  My happy range is 118-120.  I rarely see 118 and I NEVER let myself go past 123.  With DH getting hurt and having a few stressful things going on I hit that dreaded 123 and had to put a halt to all of those extra carbs that I was munching on.

I don't know what works for you but Numerous Protein drinks/meals/snacks works for me.  Sometimes I look at the Menus and Miles and I think some of you are starving.  This is a lifestyle change not a diet!!  Very Low Carb....Lots of Protein!!! Just try it for a week and see what happens!!!!!
