Thank you Sheramama and JillNicole for the kind words.
I have had an NSV lately: I recently went from size 5XL to 3XL workout clothes (like tshirts, jogging pants etc) - the visual effect is significant.
I've lost 40 lbs and that is a big change in volume you know!
Hey everyone. Weigh in was today, I'm down 1 lb. I'm actually shocked. I ate horribly this week, went over my weekly allowance points by 10, and didn't exercise. I WILL do better this week, especially since I now know that my problem day is Saturday night with family and friends. We have dart night once a week and the only healthy food that is usually there is a fruit tray. I do snack on that but that doesn't fill me up and I end up eating the nachos & cheese and what ever other bad stuff is there. So now I'm going to start bringing my own food (which I know the others don't mind) that way I can still eat with everyone else. Hope everyone is having a great week.
I have an interview Tuesday, hopefully I get it.. then I can put more variety into the foods I'm eating and stop being on such a tight budget! lol I haaaate interviews though, I get all freaked out. Practice, practice, practice.
Mayness... Great job on the weight loss, what plan are you about to start?
I'm doing Lyle McDonald's "Rapid Fat Loss." So far in two days I lost 3.4 lbs, which of course must be mostly water. But I'm excited anyway because I finally saw a number under 140 this morning.
Darius: Can I get a WHAT WHAT for u? Whooo hoo on the size change!
JillNicole: Good job on the weight loss and good luck tomorrow! I have an interview tomorrow too(kinda ironic--I got the call on my way to Hershey!) for a position I don't think I actually qualify for...
Mayness: Great job!
As for me, I weighed in Fri before I left for work. I am 2lbs down.
Start: 247
Week1: 245
I am good with it. I had lots of fun. It was so hot and I don't know who was worse at the end of the day, me or the kids! I didn't eat that great, but I didn't really eat much anyway, plus with all the walking...I am hoping it's good!
Mayness... what does the plan entail? sounds awesome!!
It's a protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF) so it's very low calorie and mostly protein. It's not necessarily the healthiest but it's effective and there are enough breaks that I don't think it's harmful. I eat very lean proteins (b/s chicken breast, lean fish, ff yogurt, ff cheese) up to a specific number of protein grams per day, based on weight and activity level and stuff - for me it's 110g. I also eat as many non-starchy veggies as I want, plus some specific supplements like fish oil. Then there are "free meals" and carb refeeds (frequency varies, I get one of each per week), and every few weeks I'll take an entire week off of the diet where I'll eat at maintenance levels.
There's a book (called "Rapid Fat Loss"), and you can get it as an e-book, which I cannot ethically encourage you to download illegally but that's certainly something a person could do.
lol gotcha... have you heard of the ideal protein thingy that people are on? I first saw it in here since lots of people have pics in the mini goals, seems great for weight loss but very expensive.
I just wanted to bc I swore that the day after my mini vacation I would get back on track and start 30 day shred. I did. It was hard at times--I stopped 4x for like 2 seconds to sip water, but wasnt as bad as I thought. Maybe that month plus upped my endurance. The other levels will prob kill me though. Now, I have to shower bc I smell. LOL.
